At least this is how i understand it.
So if the Leafs want to use that space...they cant do so until the regular season is underway when all the UFA's and whatnot have long been signed elsewhere.
Anyone else want to confirm or dispute this? Cause the deal makes no sense for TO imo if this is still the rule.

It does if they are trading Phil Dion and Joffrey for picks and prospects this week and at the draft.
