Description

Leafs need cap flexibility, they have Hossa on LTIR just sitting there. They need to relieve some cap space and real dollars. Seems like only a matter of time before the Leafs make some sort of deal to bring in some permanent LTIR cap relief and there are only so many players around the league it could work with. I think there is a fit between these 2 teams to make a deal like this. With Crouse, Dvorak and Garland, this team gets even meaner (Crouse), tougher and better at PK (all 3 kill penalties).

I honestly cannot see the Coyotes declining this deal. Mikheyev is a cheap top-6, Kerfoot is a better offensive player than Dvorak, plus SDA is a solid B prospect and they recoup a 2nd round draft pick. Based on the position that the organization is taking, there is no way they can afford to keep Hossa on the books - insurance on him covers only a max 75% of that contract, so that's pure dead money.

Insurance on Hossa only covers up to 75% of the contract. So there is still 25% of that of real money that the Coyotes need to pay out - that's pure dead money.
