This may be a deal closer to the deadline if the Flyers find themselves out of the race. If Neuvirth keeps playing well, it would be wise to sell high on him.

Flyers: Neuvirth, Lecavalier (retain $1 mil), Manning, Hagg
for
Maple Leafs: Bernier, Marincin

Bernier has had an off year while Neuvirth has been one of the best in the league. Definite upgrade in net for the Leafs while Bernier gets reunited with Kim Dillabaugh which may rejuvenate his game. Flyers also need to clear some space on the blueline, which Streit will get traded to a contender thanks to the emergence of Gostisbehere. Leafs get some decent defensive depth (Hagg projects as a middle pair defender) Marincin just has a little bit different style of play from Manning (less physical, more consistent defense) . Lecavalier gets thrown in for offensive depth for Toronto and a quality leader that unfortunately got thrown into a bad situation in Philly. All in all, the Leafs take on about $1.8 million in salary, which they can still handle when players comes off IR. It's a bit of a risk for both teams, but could pay future dividends for both.

Flyers finally send out Lecavalier, can buyout Umberger, clear salary and open up the roster for younger players.

Doesn't Bernier cost quite a lot?

Bernier has a cap hit of $4.15 million thru next year. If Dillabaugh can help him with his game he would be worth the trade.
