Well, it’s kind of like the Tkachuk deal, I think. For that to happen, the Panthers had to move out salary in Huberdeau and Weegar.
Similarly, I don’t think the leafs would want a futures based package in return. I think they see their window as now and will be looking for players, most specifically D, who help them now.
