Guess it depends on what kind of offers they are getting for Kessel and how bad they want to dump him.
Any thoughts?

laughable.
Hudler and the 15th wouldn't get you either the 4th or Kessel, let alone both of them.
Kessel should fetch the leafs a 1st round pick, a player, and a prospect.
No team is moving a top five pick without a top 10 coming back and an elite/A-list prospect or an established star who is younger than 25 (remember the Seguin to the flames for Gaudreau and Monahan....yeah, kinda like that). The 4th overall pick is the most valuable asset the leafs have right now along with Morgan Reilly, and you think they're going to trade that for Hudler and a mid-round 1st? HA! that's good stuff man! Keep it up!! You should share that with HF Boards, or better yet you should email these jems to Trelivng and Burke. they would love the 'advice'.
I'm sure the leafs will be falling all over themselves to get their hands on a guy who has one 70 pt season under his belt and one year left on his contract plus a mid-round first, who is likely 3-5 years away from making any impact at the NHL level (and that's if he pans out).
