I'm guessing this is a cap dump, at the expense of JVR to allow the Leafs to free up space to re-sign Bergeron.
My opinion is to reject the deal and would advise instead to execute a scorched earth strategy to clear the dead wood.

Meaning
- Release any low end prospects from the AHL to clear space (minimal cap penalties)
- Waive Groavac: Saves 1.0
- Waive Helm. I assume he gets claimed saving 2.63. If not buy him out
- Waive Kero. Savings 1.75
- Waive and buyout Fiddler Savings 1.89
- Waive and buyout Michalek. Savings 1.89
- Waive and buyout Greening. Savings 1.89
- Trade Roussel for a pick or waive him. Savings 4.0
- Send down Hinostroz. Savings 0.5
- Waive andd send down Bortozzo. Savings 20
- Send down Walman. Savings 0.5

That should clear 18M in cap space. Lots of roster spots to fill but I think you are better to keep your best assets, including JVR.

If you need more then trade Dillion and/or Dekeyser for picks.

Burn it to the ground!

two GMs that have been here awhile and I assume have plans. Not up to me to say no even if it is a cap dump. We dont have to play GM for other teams in off season plans.

New GM, just trying to get out of cap hell and sign a player, sacrificing another guy to do it, as time is running short and I'm off the grid this weekend. But if the deal is denied, I'll hopefully figure out something else.

Agree with grants take. Get ride of any garbage before you start parting ways with value.

I try to vote yes as a rule on these but this one does seem like a bit of a dump. Take a close look at what Wild GM posted. It may be the smarter move for a new GM.

To give the Leafs GM max time to pivot, and with the vote 13-3 I'm calling this done and rejecting.
