Leafs: Patrick Marleau

Panthers: James Reimer

This might work after July 1st if Sergei Bobrovsky signs with Florida. The leafs could potentially throw in Sparks if the Panthers want a goalie back. If Sparks is included I think the panthers would have to retain a bit of money (because of the salary and length, Marleau signing bonus being paid, and Panthers overabundance of goalies). Could work for both teams. The Marleau family might like it more than Toronto and it's closer to LA (I know its still far but its better than Toronto) and with their roster he still has a legitimate shot at a cup. Reimer comes back to TO where he had success and could/would be a solid backup option.

Thoughts?

From what's out there, it seems like FLA wants to add big in FA (Panarin, Bob, maybe more) . Why would they take on Marleaus contract then? There's a cap, you know.

That's why I said after July 1st. This would happen only if Panarin signs somewhere else. It's unlikely but I think it's got potential. Especially given the fact that Florida could use him as a "big name" (Even though he isn't that big anymore) to please fans.
