the kessel situation plays out one of three ways:
1) they move the contract as I suggested for another contract ie:Semin. buy him out. move on.
2) they make a hockey deal. Kessel for a player, a pick, and a 1st. Boomer suggested a few weeks back Gilles, Backlund, and a 1st while the flames were rumored to be interested. Obviously not going to happen now, but a deal similar to this would certainly interest the Leafs.
3) they keep one of the best goal scorers in the league.
for the record, I'm a flames fan. If you think Flames fans are better/smarter than leafs fans, or anyother fan base, you're sorely mistaken.

Of course that would interest the Leafs - it is overpayment.
Boomer may have thrown it out there, but there is no way the Flames would offer that up. Gillies is a blue-chip prospect and Backlund is a solid player at a good price.
Don't throw out one person's speculation and imply that it represents value, because it doesn't.
I would think that the Leafs will get a first (non-lottery), a middling player, and a prospect. But not Boomer's proposal.
By the way, I would expect that, if the Flames move Hudler this season (summer or deadline), the return would be similar or a little less - probably a first and a good prospect.
