Curious what thoughts are on this:
Kipper- Komisarek+1st rounder

Cap space saved (5.8-4.5=1.3M) the Leafs now have the extra cap space thus paying a 1st rather then a second to get Kipper considering Komi is sitting buried in the minors

As a Flames perspective you get a better draft pick by taking salary back, and we add an overpaid 5th D man that the Flames could use. He is still better then Butler, Babchuk, Smith, and Sarich, plus he would add a little toughness to a team sorely lacking it. Not to mention the Flames have tons of cap space open, so his salary won't hurt us and it would expire before any of our prospects need to be re-upped (Baertschi, or any of our 3-1st rounders this season).

The Flames would play him 15 minutes a game, and he would be on our pk.

I think this would be a fairly good move for both sides.

PS I believe he was an A in Toronto and Montreal so he could provide some leadership too.
