Where to send Liles??

Yeah, I wasn't trying to say he was worth Lindholm.  Sorry for the confusion.

I didn't actually think you were, but, I just wanted to clear things up for others who might have thought that.

I brought his name up, but more in a "list" sense.  i.e: if Carolina wants Franson and aren't willing to give up a first round pick (which they may not, as they could potentially be a lottery team again this year), these are the players I would consider...

Yeah, I get that, and, because of that, I don't think Carolina is a great trading partner for Franson. They're a better landing spot for Liles if/when the Leafs get Franson signed.

He should be worth something good.  Averaged over the last 3 seasons at 5 on 5 (min 1000 mins), Franson is 3rd among D in pts/60 minutes.  He's quietly been VERY good offensively.

Sure, something good, but, not "just taken 5th overall by a team that's rebuilding/in need of a rebuild" good. I imagine Lindholm's value to Carolina is similar to Rielly's with the Leafs, and I certainly wouldn't trade Rielly for Franson. A prospect of Murphy's calibre could be in play - though, probably not Murphy himself, as Carolina needs all the help they can get on the backend, and they likely see Murphy as a significant piece there.

When I first started reading I thought you were being sarcastic and referring to Luke Schenn/Leafs.  ;D  It has been a long, long week! 
 
Team spokesman Darren Dreger on Liles:

Meanwhile, the Toronto Maple Leafs are willing to sweeten the pot to get John-Michael Liles back in the National Hockey League and off of the Leafs' books.

Toronto will retain a significant portion of Liles's salary for the remainder of his contract to encourage a trade.

Liles, currently with the AHL's Toronto Marlies, carries a $3.875 mill. cap hit through 2015-2016.  He has a modified no-trade clause, which includes a list of 12 teams, submitted during the summer, that he would accept a trade to.  However, at this point, Liles is more than willing to consider all NHL interest.

So in other words, not a whole lot of news, and the Leafs are desperate.

is there a limit on how many players you can retain salaries on?  is it 2 or 3?

I know we are already retaining on Scrivens and Frattin.

3...both Frattin and Scrivens come off the books at the end of the year, though.
 
I'd send him to Toronto. Their defence is a mess, he'd add some veteran presence and he is a big upgrade on Ranger and Fraser. I'd be willing to part with Carlyle to acquire him.

Although I am not down on Ranger, he is an experiment.  Liles isn't.

I really like Fraser's game as a 6th dman but because Ranger is STILL not firing on all cylinders Fraser would be ahead of him in depth which is never a good thing.

If the Canes are kicking tires on Liles I would trade him though.

I might even throw in a mid round pick.

I hope they want him bad, but there are also a few other teams looking for puck movers. Carolina should act fast before he's gone!
