If Richards is coming back, sure. If this was last year, Burke would be all over Schenn, but we all know hes gone.
Grabo's agent is in town discussing an extension, I doubt hes going anywhere. Add that to the fact that the Leafs are very much in the playoff hunt, so they arent shipping Grabo out unless its for an upgrade at C.
Not sure how Stoll solves the Leafs need for a #1 centre...
With Carter being the only closest option to solve that--unless he gets that player as a prospect--he probably has his attention on fixing other problems. Stoll is a pretty good special teams guy.
Chances that Burke will trade with a GM he hasn't traded before are lesser than repeating it with a GM he has already traded with. Burke himself said along the lines of "There are some GMs in league you simply can't get a deal done with."
With Burke' fascination of Schenn in 09 draft, Lombardi taking him and the rest.. chances of these two teams trading are next to zero.

Burke and Deano are friends, and they've done trades in the past.
Grabovski's value is exactly the same as Dustin Brown's value to you guys.
Let me be a lot more open about Grabo. Majority of the time, he's the best player on the ice on every shift. He hustles, has slick hands, doesn't ever give up on a play, and has great chemistry with his 2nd line mates.
In a way, he's our Ryan Callahan.
1. We're not looking to move him at all.
2. If we do move him we'd look for a premium return, preferably from a team with better prospects than L.A.
3. We'll keep him till the end of the season and go till the end with regards to re-signing him.
Burke has a history of going after players when their values are their lowest aside from his Kessel trade and UFA signings.
He also likes acquiring former players or players he picked. I'm not sure there was any bad blood between Penner and Burke. If he's available cheap near the deadline I expect Burke to at least inquire.
Don't get Penner..PLEASE. He has size but besides that, there isn't much. I don't care if Burke wants to bet on Penner, it'll be terrible for the Leafs, unless we're giving up a 7th rounder (even then I'm skeptical, his laziness might rub off).
This is tempting. The way Voynov has played this far paired with the fact that we still have Alec Martinez makes me want to say yes but I'd really hate to lose Johnson
