Kind of strange that Toronto didn't just claim him. Sending those 2 players doesn't save them any cap space as neither is in the NHL at the moment. They have less cap space than us, but maybe their LTIRs are out longer.
I guess dumping the AHL contract saves them a bit of real money and they go from 47 contracts to 46, which gives them some more wiggle room for future moves.
Korshkov actually has decent potential if he decides to come back to North America.
