I don't think the Leafs would match.

Oh if the Islanders did this, ultimate Tavares payback
According to cap friendly, leafs have 3.7M space before ltir for Horton. That is also with 13f and 8d, so after sending down a minimum and ltir Horton they could give about $9.7M. but that is firm on the cap with 8 skaters and backup goalie all making within 100k of minimum, and Dermott being the only ELC defenceman up. Start factoring in Lillegren, Sandin, then that shaves a little more off.
So either they try to squeeze Marner down to closer to 9M, bridge him, or make a trade
