Looks like a salary dump to me.
I wonder if this has anything to do with Kadri’s performance at camp.
“According to TSN Insider Darren Dreger Toronto receives a fourth-round draft pick that would turn into a third-rounder should Lombardi re-sign in Phoenix after this season. The Leafs will retain the $500,000 signing bonus owed to Lombardi as well as a portion of his remaining salary in the deal.”
I remember a lot of us doing Lombardi to PHX for a 4th rounder in our trade scenarios last year, I like it.
I would have to think there is a bigger move coming. They don’t need the cap space plus he’s a UFA at the end of the season.
Doesn’t matter if there’s a bigger move. Smart move by Nonis a guy that most people thought would clear waivers. Lombo didn’t really fit anywheres on this roster so this is a great albeit small move.
Good luck Lombardi hopefully you can resurrect your career elsewhere and good on Nonis for giving him a chance to succeed.
