Confirmed Trade: [VGK/TOR] David Clarkson and 2020 4th round pick for Garret Sparks

[TomasHertlsRooster]

Somebody needs to explain this to me from Vegas and Toronto's perspectives. Because I do not get this at all.

 

[howkie]

wait wat? Horton involved aswell?

 

[Lt Dan]

But... why?

Because it's the cup!

 

[Kamiccolo]

Okay Leaf fans... What are we missing here?

Deal has to be bigger than reported or there is a 2nd move coming. Or maybe no one wanted Sparks and they bought a 4th rounder for nothing but cash. They just LTIR him.

Sparks for Clarkson + 4th. RIP Marner

Imagine actually believing this

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

I don't get it? Does having multiple LTIR contracts help somehow?

 

[JerseyMike34]

Outside of Clarkson/Horton and the Luongo recapture thing, are there any more of these contracts kicking around the league?

 

[Rob Brown]

Imagine actually believing this

The problem is people do.

 

[Whaleafs]

Time to take 71 back down from the rafters

 

[gamer1035]

Wtf, I thought we were running out of LTIR space

 

[Mike Jones]

Warped enough to work.

 

[SniperOnTheWing]

Gusev?

Please please please tell me this is the case

Vegas can sign Gusev before season starts.
Toronto will sign Marner after the season starts.

When season starts. All players count toward the cap (including LTIR). Then Clarkson can be buried

Is Hossa and Datsyuk still on the books? I think Dipietro as well

 

[Kevin Musto]

Toronto is the last team that should be taking a cap dump lol

This has been discussed at length. Players can be buried on LTIR during the offseason without issues. TO did exactly that two years ago.

Someone who understands the deal. Toronto gained by moving Sparks.

Hence getting more??

 

[FissionFire]

Full circle with Clarkson coming back home!

Okay Leaf fans... What are we missing here?

Bro we are asking everyone else the same thing

 

[YP44]

Clearing Marleau's cap cost the leaf's a first
Picking up Clarkson got them a 4th

WTF

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

Followed up by Horton for Gusev?

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

So they’ve sace Spark’s cap hit in cap space
Horray?
