This move has the Oilers written all over it but both teams need D. Perhaps Ganger+3 for Dion+8 and the Leafs eat $500k per season? Oilers draft Ritchie/Virtanen and the Leafs get Bennett?

depends on what they are looking for, I don't see them getting a ton in return...my point is that its not a salary dump that the Leafs will bend over backwards to unload him. Teams will be lining up if the asking price is reasonable.
