Toronto: Patrick Marleau, Nikita Zaitsev And Kasperi Kappanen

LA: Ilya Kovlachuk, Dion Phaneuf ( 1.25 million retained) and 2nd round 2019

*Phaneufs cap hit would then be 4 million.

Toronto- The leafs PP was pretty weak this season and Kovy would help out as the LW on the top PP if Mathews is put on his 1 T side. Phaneuf on the bottom pairing would be effective. But the leafs get around 2 million in cap space from the trade. With the 10 million cap space+ Horton on LTIR they have 15 million in cap space. Not to mention a potential cap increase they will surely have enough to sign Marner and Johnsson.

LA: The kings lose two bad contracts and replace them with two more but Kovy really was not fitting in and Marleau provides leadership. Kappanen is the big reason why they do this. Kappanen is a speedy winger with potential in which the King severely lack. Zaitsev Is still a good dman and can help out the 2nd pairing.

Pretty sure with ottawa retaining on dion that only 1 team can retain on a player under the cba.

Please no. Just please, no. I’d rather keep Marleau and Zaitsev than bring in either Kovalchuk or the Pylon. LA couldn’t retain enough salary to make this trade happen.
