Quite curious as to where the ~6M required to facilitate that trade from LA’s end is coming from.

No offence but this is really not good at all

That’s for Blake to figure out. They need a goalie.

What part?

If you trade Samsonov before an arbitration award, you can't buy Murray out.

And we DON'T need a goalie -- we have Cam Talbot and Phoenix Copley.

Hard to trade for cap when you have no cap.

Kings need a goalie, but Leafs are fine with Vladar and Woll? Kings also don’t need to bail Toronto out capwise.

This genuinely made me spill my drink. Please give a comedy warning next time.

Arizona won't do that. They can't afford the extension so they just lose a bunch of assets for 1 year of willy? Why?

I'd take that if I was the Flames

LA is far more likely to take a run at Murray at the cap minimum after he is inevitably bought out.

The Kings had Quick and Petersen and Copley was who they rode to the playoffs. They are better with this brutal tandem than they were last year, for what it’s worth the Kings will probably try to get Murray too after he is bought out.

All of it

Be surprised if the Leafs buy him out. If that was the plan they likely would have done it already. They can't do anything right now until they trade him.

Not saying it 100% won't happen but I see it as a low probability.

Gotta move $3.2M in negative cap space; and it’s the path without losing an asset. They can try to move him; but that will be difficult without retention.
