With all the speculation revolving around the Toronto Maple Leafs and their cap issues, GM Kyle Dubas has managed to use his magic wand and rid themselves of the Zaitsev contract.
The Toronto Maple Leafs, who self-inflicted themselves with cap issues through the signing of Tavares, have found a dance partner in the Ottawa Senators to take on the contract of Nikita Zaitsev for the next 5 years at $4.5 million dollars.
The man himself, Kyle Dubas, had the now famous quote of ” We can, and we will” when referring to signing Matthews, Marner, and Nylander and that now looks like it is coming into fruition after this deal occurred.
