It's just like that time the LA Kings charged into the playoffs with the #1 goalie-tandem of Jonathan Quick and Ben Bishop!

So the Lehner trade is actually a 3-way trade between Vegas, Toronto and Chicago...

The Leafs get a 2020 5th round pick and F Martins Dzierkals, in exchange for retaining a portion of Lehner.s salary

Alright, the 3-way trade bw Chicago, Toronto & Vegas (to simplify things) went like this:

CHI sent Lehner & Dzierkals to TOR
TOR sent Lehner and Dzierkals to VGK, and retained part of Lehner's contract
VGK sent their 2020 5th RD pick to TOR, and Subban, Demin & a 2020 2nd to CHI

The three-way Robin Lehner deal includes complex salary retention: TOR retains 44% of the 50% retained by CHI, which amounts to a $1.1M cap charge and roughly $190,000 in salary owed.

Toronto adds a fifth-round pick for its troubles. #SNTrade

Bold move, Dubas. Leafs made like 5 moves today...all seem to be focused on the Marlies.
