Saw a few more in the media today describing this as a sellers market (ie Duhatschek & others).
Globe & Mail link But the market for this year?s deadline was essentially set when the Toronto Maple Leafs pried loose a first-round pick from the Nashville Predators in the deal that sent Cody Franson and Mike Santorelli south.
In all, four first-rounders have already been traded: Nashville to Toronto; Buffalo to Winnipeg in the Evander Kane deal; Los Angeles to Carolina for Andrej Sekera; and Chicago to Arizona for Antoine Vermette. The prices seem high in what is considered one of the deepest drafts in a decade ? and the only explanation seems to be that there isn?t a single NHL powerhouse to fear this year; and thus, a lot of teams believe they have a legitimate chance to win a Stanley Cup championship.
Actually Glencross was content to remain a Flame, quoted as saying he wanted to stay after playing some good hockey for them. Not a player too eager to leave.

I highly doubt Toronto will make another deal of significance, which will probably be a big mistake.
Outside of bad offers, there's very little reason to keep Lupul/Phaneuf/Bozak and others.
ARI was willing to eat 50% of Yandle's contract next year, and it got them a 1st and a very highly regarded prospect.
Leafs should do the same with Lupul IMO. This team doesn't need the cap space in the next couple years as they should be a bottom feeder for some time yet.
I'd retain 100% (I'm guessing that's not allowed) of his salary for the next 3 years, if it meant a 1st and Pastrnak/Subban.
