Puck Pix : Jay:Roy, Hague to Toronto? Ilnside the Potential Marner-to-Vegas Deal

If Tree can pull this off, good on him. Would put Marner in a bit more favourable light as well.

Still don't understand why Vegas would do this

1) to clear cap space and/or
2) to avoid tampering penalties

... but I doubt the Leafs get that much.

If Vegas wants Marner, they have to pay up someway somehow or else they will be charged with the intent of tampering. When you have Marner looking for housing in Vegas before his contract is up, it’s obvious Vegas has been tampering. So in order for Vegas to not face such penalties it is in their best interest to give the Leafs some sort of compensation or walk away from Marner altogether
