I think this is a case where Horton's LTIR provides incentive for Toronto to make the trade.

They are going to be over the cap anyways, so they won't be banking cap space. Bringing in Clarkson won't affect their cap in that regard. So it's 1M in salary from Clarkson (may be insured?), but they moved out 750k in salary from Sparks, and get a fourth.
