Description
So I was listening to leafs lunch where Gord Miller had an interesting idea. Toronto and Marleau have had the conversation to move on. He wants to go to S.J, ANH or LA. These teams really dont have the space for Marleau at 6.25mill or even half of that. The easy solution to this would be trading Marleau with an extra asset to a team with a lot of cap space to buy him out then he signs a really cheap deal with one of those teams. For example let's say Ottawa takes the deal and buys him out, he is a 35+contract so the cap hit will remain but the actually money is even less. This is a win for every side and makes total sense.
What do you think?

The question is how good of an asset does Toronto have to attach to make it worthwhile for the other team.

As they were talking about it, I figured neither him or Dreger would know enough to factor in the bonus.

A bonus can't be bought out, so the $3m still gets paid, so pretty doubtful Melnyk or any other owner wants to pay $4M for a draft pick.

Leafs likely have to pay higher asset if the plan is for the acquiring team to immediately buyout Marleau.

You make the trade after the bonus is paid

It is possible as suggested. The better team to do the "buyout" is Arizona if they have cap space this season. Arizona trades to the Leafs Hossa who is paid 1m per year for two years on LTIR. That 2m the Leafs eat in Hossa salary would pay for about Marleau's buyout by Arizona.
