I suppose they could also buyout the final year of Marleau's contract and be okay too, so long as they don't plan on upgrading their D.
They could target Hanafin but I cant imagine Brad would do it.
Brodie is the only trade that makes sense here, and I still think Toronto bites.
I dont want to trade him either, but honestly doing it this year will net the biggest return we'll ever see. With that being said if there's an offer that jumps out at you I think you have to seriously consider it. If its Toronto, we're asking for Nylander to start IMO. Cant imagine a scenario where its even remotely possible, but much like the Iginla saga, if we hold on too long the value is just going to decrease until he's worth pennies on the dollar so you have to be okay with that.

I'm not following the Leafs cap situation too closely, but I think the odd men out this summer are Nylander, Marleau, & Gardiner.
Kadri outperform's his contract value. He's the least of Torontos worries. A 50-60 point 30 goal C is worth 5-6 million, maybe more?, on the open market?
If I'm Dubas, there are a number of guys I move before Kadri.
