A post expansion draft trade between the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Vegas Golden Knights may have been leaked to Toronto Sun reporter Lance Hornby, or maybe he’s just not articulating his point well. We can’t quite decide.
Talk that D Colin Miller gets flipped to TML from BOS via VGN would be deals for 3 picks from 5th rd. of 2012 draft inc. Griffith, Carrick.

Okay let's first try to understand the tweet.
Reading and re-reading and discussing the tweet leads to the conclusion that Hornby is saying this would be the third trade the Maple Leafs make for a 2012 fifth round pick, the first two being Connor Carrick (Capitals) and Seth Griffith (Bruins).
