Confirmed with Link: [TOR/VGK] TOR acquire David Clarkson & a 2020 4th Round Pick from VGK for Garrett Sparks

[Kamiccolo]

Ok. I mean couldn't even get a 3rd?

 

[rdogg]

I don't understand.... We traded a 1st round pick to clear cap space. And now we trade Sparks for a crap ton of salary?

 

[Whaleafs]

Not a cap savant so this makes no sense to me unless the Leafs spend to the cap, Horton & Clarkson’s contracts come off the books via LTIR and that then frees up ~$10M for Marner ?

 

[Walshy7]

what are they playing at? something is going to happen surely?

pridham wrote the CBA so they know alot more than posters here do thats for sure though

 

[Alerion]

Very confused by this deal, we basically bought a 4th round pick but the price was astronomical. Why help Vegas out for such little return?

 

[Randy Randerson]

yep, do not understand

 

[DarkKnight]

This is a rumor. Not confirmed lol.

Confirmed on TSN

LTIR v actual dollars on the cap though.
Maybe another trade coming?

 

[DarkKnight]

This at least puts an end to what people thought Sparkles was worth. Lol.

 

[Walshy7]

David Clarkeson had a career ending injury in 2016 according to Shilton so its definitely LTIR deal

 

[Once]

Someone explain why we need to take Clarkson's contract?

 

[LeafChief]

I'm going to need someone to explain this to me.

 

[The90]

I feel like we should get more than a 4th considering what Marleau got.

Also why was Sparks thrown in, do we even have a backup anymore

Neuvirth and Hutchinson

 

[Walshy7]

I'm going to need someone to explain this to me.

so strange, im going to assume we can combine Hortan and Clarkeson LTIR and therfore $10M~ more cap? i dont know

edit: $10.55M

 

[Morgs]

Dubas out here playing 5D chess, obviously.

Legit though, what the f*** is happening.

[DarkKnight]

One last time, the positioning was something to behold.

 

[Daisy Jane]

David Clarkson?
like. the guy we had here before, and stared the whole burn it down, let's get Mcdavid/Matthews David Clarkson?

Why?

Sparks sucks
Draft picks good
LTIR good

Wtffffff

 

[DarkKnight]

 

[Leafidelity]

Leafs actually just spent 290k (Clarkson's remaining base salary is 1M but Sparks' is 710k) to get a 4th lol.

Horton's finally got some company on Robidas Island.

Thank you for explaining this for me. Clarksons contract has a single year left too.

 

[Walshy7]

its insured though right so it doesnt cost a cent to MLSE, so we didnt really even "Buy" a 4th just got one for sparks. WE must want the LTIR space too
