Description
Leafs save 11.5 million in cap while getting back a big return with multiple picks, a couple of decent prospects and a few roster players making 5 million or so. The question is which team is willing to take on both at half retained likely for only one year? It has to be a team that believes it can win the Cup next year.

Unless I'm missing something, this trade is not saving you 11.5M. You'd be taking back slightly more cap, dude. And that's if Lucius and Heinola don't come up.

I forgot to mention the roster players acquired won't be sticking around but will be trade assets. Teams that lose out on free agents on July 1st are always looking for trades.

Okay, but now I'm more confused. You're gonna trade all four of those players? For what?

No, just the roster players with big contracts. The core return in a trade like this are the picks and prospects. Leafs retain money and take back money to make the cap work for the other team. Then they offload the acquired money for late round picks, sort of like what Vancouver did when they traded Beauviller to Chicago for a 5th round pick.

I don't see any team trading for either Marner or JT at their full contracts, so the Leafs have to get creative to maximize the return.
