wow good call, are you hearing anything?
still think this seems far fetched for a pick that high

It would only make sense if we were planning on keeping Lecavalier. Something like:
Grabovski
Liles
For
Lecavalier
3rd overall
We get some use out of Vinny and a great pick, potentially then moving up to first overall, while Tampa gets two roster players with less term and more flexibility.

That's collusion though. And while I wouldn't be surprised to find out it happens all the time, the Leafs and Lightning could get into some serious trouble if they got caught doing this.

It's not collusion to say "we're going to re-sign the player we currently own".
TB gets 1.7M less cap space for 3 seasons, 2.3 More cap space for 1 season and 7.8 more for 3 seasons.
Is that worth giving up the best player in the deal and #3 pick?
Doubtful.

But it is collusion to say that we don't intend on owning this player for a short period of time, during which we will transfer to you some of our assets in regards to this unwritten agreement.

It may only be a rumour but I like it but I would like to know, which two mid-level roster players, that would be included in a deal and also the draft picks involved.
It would ensure that we get a good young center after the smoke clears and Maybe even getting MacKinnon.

1. Seth Jones
2. Jonathan Drouin
3. Nathan MacKinnon

Not assuming for a second that this deals goes through...but interestingly enough. Who would the Leafs take at 3 ? Drouin is the consensus #3, but the Leafs need that potential 1 line center. Would the Leafs take Barkov over Drouin at 3 ?
Tough call. BPA is likely Drouin.

I would like to know if we can use the compliance buy out on a player new to the roster, or would they have to be on the roster for a season? It's only worth it to everyone if they buy him out right away, TB gets their captain back cheap, and we get the 3rd without cap penalty. Other wise he's here for at least a year, which I'm sure TB doesn't want, or he counts on the cap for a decade or 2, which TOR won't want.

Also, if it works, the leafs would likely want either a center or D from the draft. Either take Barkov at 3, or move back for Monahan, who they've interviewed.
Muston Atthews
Bunch of Bangerz
Maybe drop down a couple spots and gain a defensemen or something to get one of the centres?
My understanding is that we couldn't buy out Vinny until next off-season (player must be a member of your squad before the trade deadline of the year he is bought out). This would mean that Vinny would play one season with us, and then we could buy him out next off-season, which would allow him to re-sign with Tampa. That would be the only scenario that I could see him waiving his NMC for, that being a guarantee that he would be able to return to Tampa after this season.
If this is the case, brilliant move by Nonis. We get a stop-gap #1C and draft Barkov who is our future #1C. I imagine it would be for our 1st this year, our 2nd next year, Grabovski and Gunnarsson or Liles.
Oh, and if we truly want Barkov, we need the #3, because there is no way Nashville gives us the #4. They would want him just as badly.

True, but I brought up collusion after someone mentioned that the only way this deal happens is if there's a prior agreement that Vinny will re-sign immediately with Tampa
That's TBs business
doesn't affect the Leafs
I guess the players are guys like Kulemin, Gunnar and Frattin
can't imagine its anyone making anything more than 3 mill otherwise it makes even less sense
If leafs get 3rd overall they have to take drouin.
I was thinking trade down as well but you get a shot at a talent like that and you have to take them

That's not what I was getting at, this is:
This is what I thought as well. I'd like some clarity on that if someone knows for sure. If this is the case, I don't believe the rumour.

I don't know the rule but hasn't the same thought been applied to Depietro?
I thought you meant we'd have to use a regular-course buy out if they did it next season, otherwise how would he count on the cap for TOR for a decade or two?
Or did you mean they'd have to use a regular-course buy out if they did it this summer?
