JT Miller is the key to a cup. Give up futures, and put him on the 3rd line and pay him 5.3 million.

Clarkson's deal does allowe the Leafs an extra 5.2 over the cap in LTIR. So that is important.
That could be used for Marner's deal

No, but if Marner signs late, it helps a lot.

IMO, none of these RFAS are signing until well into August.

But we could simply just lose Sparks on waivers or demote him. I’m baffled as to how we only got a 4th for Sparks and taking on Clarksons contract? And if Clarksons contract on the IR was no big deal, why was LV so quick to get rid of it?

Someone by the name Earl Schwartz just made a big post on Twitter about how this will help leafs sign Marner if he’s not signed to start the season. Doesn’t make a ton of sense to me but I’m sure there’s a reason.

Vegas is in such a bad cap situation they need to get rid of an LTIR now.

It's amazing that the only two true power forwards on the Leafs both have career ending LTIR injuries.

Excellent work Dubas.

Vegas didn’t want to pay the remaining 20% of Clarkson contract after insurance. Leafs say they who cares it’s only money.

It also helps Vegas' cap. They are (frank)ed right now and were over the cap.

I guess there’s a lot more too it when it comes to LTIR and creating more room for when the season starts, to sign Marner if he is unsigned.

Bad trade for the Leafs unless they can get Clarkson to sign an extension.
