To Toronto: Corey Perry (UFA) To Anaheim: Phil Kessel
Bob McKenzie says that Corey Perry will not be signing on with the Anaheim Ducks. Perry is likely to be traded before the deadline, unless the Ducks change their minds and part with Ryan Getzlaf (very unlikely). Phil Kessel finished 6th in league scoring last season and has another year on his contract at around $5.5M. He will be an UFA in July of 2014.
Brian Burke has returned to Anaheim as a scout. He loves Phil Kessel, for good reason.
Kessel could flourish in a hockey market like Anaheim.

Perry is a perfect fit for the Toronto roster.
The goal is to add Perry to the top 6 in Toronto in addition to Kessel, not swap them for each other.
If Toronto wants to get him before anyone since he has a good shot of ending up there if he hits free agency, I think it might cost...
To Anaheim: Mike Komisarek + 1st (Conditional, if he re-signs its 1st, if he doesn't, it's a 3rd) + Colborne.

Either you forgot to add something to this or you are being totally unrealstic. Komisarek has no value, if anything he has negative value and since they probably won't re-sign him it is a 3rd round pick?
Do you really think they would trade a player who is better than Kessel for a 3rd round pick and a prospect who looks like he is well on his way to being a bust?

Perry is a significant upgrade over Kessel. If a Kessel for Perry deal could be had, you do it. You also have to think of the salary structure of the team, Kessels going to be up for a new contract, and having 14-15M tied up in two wingers doesnt sit well with me.
Toronto is not going to trade for Corey Perry to "add him" to the group. This is a team that just signed Joffrey Lupul to a new deal, they've got James van Riemsdyk, Matt Frattin & Nikolai Kulemin all signed for next year. It just doesn't make sense to have that much money tied up in 2 wingers. a
Meanwhile, the ONLY way a Kessel-for-Perry swap could happen, is if Perry refuses to sign in Anaheim, but is willing to pre-negotiate an extension in Toronto... at which point there's room for a deal, with Anaheim probably adding a relatively small piece.

I'm a Leafs fan and in a Perry for Kessel swap, it won't be Anaheim who's adding.

It absolutely will, simply based on relative value.
Perry's better than Kessel, but Kessel is 2 years younger. He's also, presumably, going to cost less than Perry to resign next year. Which one ends up being the "better buy" is certainly unknown.
As a result, the Perry/Kessel swap, assuming Perry has agreed to a contract, isn't necessarily an open and shut case. You also have to guage what Kessel is going to cost, and which you'd prefer.
On the Anaheim side, if Perry won't resign, and you can get Phil Kessel for him, that's a total no-brainer.... so, there's a difference in value to be made up. Kessel for 1 year at $5.4m makes up substantially more than the difference than their skill sets for a couple months this year. It also puts them in a substantially stronger position to resign Getzlaf.

That offer will be outbid immediately. It's tough with UFAs because you need to give value but not overpay - I'd say depending in the market Kulemin and MacArthur could get some traction...

Anaheim would have to add, you are correct. If a players contract wants out their value will depreciate considerably - although prenegotiations would not happen.

Kessel resigning in Anaheim next year isn't an open and shut case either. The assumption in the idea for a Kessel for Perry swap, is that Leafs management would get a chance to talk to Perry beforehand, and see if a deal could be agreed upon.
IMO Perrys new deal will be closer in value to what he brings to the table than Kessels. If Perry gets ~7.5-8 and Kessel gets 6.5-7, I would take Perry and his contract. He's a far more complete/dominant player.
And if Anaheim makes this trade, 12 months from now they may have to trade Kessel and go through this all over again. I see no reason why Anaheim would have to add when they're giving up the better player in a deal where presumably the Leafs would already have a contract agreed upon (such as in the original Kessel deal, where he was traded for with a contract already agreed to).
I stated on the other thread that it makes sense to wait it out and attempt to nab both. Reading different responses on this thread, though, I've come to the conclusion that that is either impractical, nonsensical or risky. So I would make this trade on the condition that Perry is willing to sign a deal with the Leafs. It would be nice to get another little piece in the process for Phil, but it wouldn't be a deal breaker for me if we couldn't.
Either you forgot to add something to this or you are being totally unrealstic. Komisarek has no value, if anything he has negative value and since they probably won't re-sign him it is a 3rd round pick?

I don't think that's fair value, but Colborne's potential is still up in the air. Hard to call him a bust though, especially after everyone called Kadri one. Eakins drastically improved Kadri, and it wouldn't surprise me if Colborne improved as well. But yeah, not fair value.

I'd do this, as long as the 1st was conditional on re-signing. Or Toronto negotiates with Perry beforehand and he comes signed.

No way the 1st is going.
The difference between Perry and Kessel is a bright prospect going from Toronto's side, but not elite.
If Perry is traded that means he had no intention to sign with Anaheim...right now those are just rumors but as we get closer to the deadline, Perry has to be traded or Anaheim has to gamble that they can win the Cup, keep him and try their luck @ UFA.
Kessel + 1st + Matt Finn?
No way in hell.
Kessel for Perry (signed) is literally the best deal the Ducks can get if they want an impact player in return.
. #1C, #1D, good team and system...
