It's been reported a couple of times today that the Leafs are in discussion directly with Vegas for a defenseman they will be acquiring through the expansion draft process. Since it has already been pretty much confirmed that Vegas has a deal with Anaheim so that they don't take either Josh Manson or Sami Vatanen, we can rule them both out. Rumors have the Leafs linked to both Matthew Dumba, Colin Miller and Marc Methot. This deal the Leafs have either worked out or are trying to work out could be for 1 defenseman or multiple defensemen; that's not clear. It seems Vegas really do want to go young and develop from within so I don't expect the deal to include JVR. It will likely be a combination of high draft pick, prospect and/or young winger that had already been left unprotected (could be both). Deal would be announced at some point after Vegas' roster is officially announced, maybe on lottery draft day?
