Leafs certainly have the financial resources to buy out Semin and make him go away.

Otherwise, yes, I will concede that Kessels contract makes him difficult to move.
The list of teams Kessel submitted was essentially done in a way so he wouldn't be moved from Toronto.

They were like the top 8 teams in the league. You think he would accept a trade to Carolina?
