What would the acceptable return for Ortio and /or Gillies? I don't think that they would bring back a #34 draft pick.
St. L. picks up NHL ready Reto Berra for a late 2nd round pick (#54) and everyone here at CP says the Flames won that trade easily. Berra is 90% certain to play in more NHL games than Mason MacDonald.
What are the Leafs going to get for James Riemer (26 years old 140 NHL games). would have #34 gotten him?
The leafs got 23 year old Bernier....possibly the best 23 old goalie on the planet for a 2nd round pick in 2015, a journeyman goalie scrivener (worth the Oilers 3rd round pick) and a Frattin who was a #6/7 D-man on LA.

Berra will have to learn how to use his glove hand if he wants to have an NHL career.
