The Leafs protect Reilly, Vatanen, Gardiner. Zaitsev is exempt. Vegas doesn't get any good defenseman from Toronto.
Or Vegas agrees to take Silfverberg, give something up for the ability to draft Vatanen/Fowler, or whatever the deal may be etc. etc. and end up in a far better situation.

A buyout is easy from a fan's perspective, but it has cap and real money implications that Ducks management/ownership might not want. IIRC, the Ducks are a budget team, plus they have two $10 million players on the roster, so they are walking a financial tight rope
