Sujet: Picking up scraps
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>Gee, I remember when the Leafs had 13.5m in LTIR players during the summer and it never hindered them to sign to the cap with active players. It's kinda insane to think Leafs are so cap strapped.
But let's say that was the case, why would Vegas who has the same cap issues as the Leafs gave Clarkson away to Leafs who now commands 2nd,4th and 7th?</div></div>

IMO option the 2nd round pick is a wash because of Chlapik. Essentially the Sens need to open up some contract room because they are hitting the max number of contracts allowed. Chlapik IMO is worth a 2nd. May end up being a decent player but has been surpassed in his position on the depth chart.

As it relates to Clarkson from VGK, it is an intriguing trade. I would interpret it as VGK doing the same thing as mentioned above and the Leafs knowing they won't be able to sign Marner until the season starts. Perhaps this trade is signs that they know they can only sign him come season start. Leafs would also have to move Horton to sign Marner in the offseason and perhaps they have tried without success.

Perhaps this on its own kyboshes my trade as a whole.... Maybe add Horton but then the Sens would have to add high money low cap player to which they have few players in that situation. No way Melnik takes on more money.

If the Sens were to add McArthur for example, than Leafs Hotron you only open up $6.5M per season cap while Sens taking on slightly less real money but they erase the draft picks so... stalemate... Likely why this has not happened.
