For those not familier. he is 26, 6-1/225 LH shooting LW. The last 1.5 years the ML used him as a checker/penalty killer. But 2 years ago on the scoring lines he put 30 in the net. Only carries a 2.8 million cap hit.

If he could be had for a guy like Filppula-toranto does have some cap  issues coming next year and needs a C, he would look great on datsyuk's left wing. 25 goals+ per year would not be to much to expect.

This is the Leafs we're talking about.  They want size, size, size, size, and more size.  Filpulla is another small, skilled forward.  The Leafs are sick and tired of Kessel and his ilk; they don't want another flash-in-the-pan who gets paid for his potential rather than his production (mind you, Kessel has produced much more than Filpulla, but has still struggled to provide what his talent suggests overall).  If he could be had, sure.  Could be good up with Pav.  He would actually have a real winger.
