With Lombardi gone, I don't know if we still have enough horrible contracts to send to Vancouver to make a Luongo trade fair.

Komi and Connolly isn't enough poop to get 'er done.

For a 4th rounder.. NICE
- LeafsFan64

Remember - we gave up a 4th for him.

The circle of life.

im interested to see how much salary we retained in the deal, but either way i like it as it frees up a space for a younger guy
- MetroidPrime

The half million signing bonus owed to him.

A 4th very nice for dead weight. I'd retain all the salary for the year for any pick. I didn't think he'd even clear waivers so nice surprise.

All aside good luck Lombardi, hopefully you can resurrect your career elsewhere.

You never know, he might have an okay season in Phoenix if given the chance. Just wasn't going to happen here. Works for both teams!

3rd if he resigns.

Well done Nonis!

500 000. So does it mean we keep some cap hit too?
- LeafsFan64

No mention of cap space, so sounds like just keeping salary

Domineos?

Yes, someone explain this rule. I don't get it and all the articles have too much lawyer speak.

Leafs pay the 500k signing bonus, Phoenix gets full cap hit.

I am confused as well. Would be cool if one team can keep so much salary but no cap hit. Would help teams like Florida

Doesn't that seem funky? I thought teams had to keep space or something so it wasn't like a get out of jail free card type thing.

I like it. Nothing big and crazy. Take it slow Nonis. Connelly next and Komi .

Can only have 2 guys at a time that have retained cap or salary. Can only retain 50%

So you could pick? Like "okay we'll pay 1mil but you take all cap" and vice versa?

Connolly to chicago for a 5th?

That might actually make some sense if Bolland can't provide the O they need on the 2nd line.

Then again, is he really an upgrade on Kruger or Shaw?

Rosehill signed by the Ducks.
