Leafs Make A Move That Gives Them Offer Sheet Material

from Bob McKenzie of TSN,
The Toronto Maple Leafs today re-acquired their own much-travelled 2010 second-round pick from the Chicago Blackhawks in exchange for Toronto’s third-round pick in 2011 and a 2011 second-round pick that was previously acquired by Toronto from Calgary.
Why would the Leafs effectively pay a net price of a third-round pick to get a second-round pick in the 2010 draft instead of the 2011 draft?
Well, the move now gives Toronto their own first, second and third-round picks in the next NHL entry draft, which is the prerequisite for any team that would want to submit an offer sheet on a top restricted free agent player this summer.

He’s either going for Kessel or he already knows those draft picks are going to be nice next year. My guess is Kessel. They need some offense and he’s already made it clear at the draft that he wants him. To keep Kaberle and get Kessel… that wouldn’t be bad at all.

Kessell seems like the obvious choice. Any suggestions on any other RFAs out there. What about Dubinsky in NY?
