doesn't seem like no reason. If Condon wasn't included then yeah it would be no reason.Classic including a pick for no reason
Last I calculated (albeit manually - remembering to factor in signing bonuses paid by other teams), it was in the ~$47M range; add the ~$4.25M in insured LTIR + 1.4 from Condon not having to be buried, it'd be down to ~$41.5Mlol how much of actual salary is this owner actually paying out of his pockets?
Stop me if you've heard this one before, but this is yet another cash saving deal. Callahan makes 4.7M this season and is presumably insured at 80% for a cash impact of .94M. Condon was set to make 3M.
2M saved.
Dorion has a legit shot to get the payroll under 40M this year.

If there was ever a management group that deserves to get screwed in the draft lottery it's this one..."Our cap flexibility allowed us to proceed with this trade, which will also benefit us as we continue making adjustments to create a hardworking, exciting team." - PD
LMFAO. If you take away our LTIR contracts we are sitting 10 Mil UNDER the floor.
At what point does Flexibility become Absurdity? 15 mil under the floor, 20 mil under the floor?
This is what Melnyk means when he says we'll be a cap team in a few years.
Any other team would demand at least 2nd for Callahan’s cap dump, we demand they take our unwanted $3M salary and destroy our return.
The wrong way to rebuild; this is it.
the issue is, if Condon is healthy, where would he have played for the Sens? They had to give him up somehow IMO.Any other team would demand at least 2nd for Callahan’s cap dump, we demand they take our unwanted $3M salary and destroy our return.

Moved up a few places in the draft, traded a high 6th for a low 5th
Is this less value than what the Leafs got for LTIRing Clarkson?
