I really can't think of you what you'd be referencing...I remember these trades were illegal at one point. Believe the leafs tried acquiring a really shit overpaid goalie (Cujo, Gerber?) about 10 years ago and the league deemed it a “cap dump” trade and nixed it. Even fined the Leafs I believe.
Time have changed as essentially almost every selling is taking garbage for picks if they can afford the cap.
The caption is the best from Sens PR. We have acquired future considerations.
Olaf Kolzig?
Toronto acquired Kolzig, Jamie Heward, and Andy Rogers and 4th round pick in 2009 for Richard Petiot.
Both Kolzig and Heward were LTIRd and never played again.
There was some minor stink in the media because it was one of the first of it's kind, and Toronto used its cap space and financial stability to effectively buy a draft pick, but the League allowed the trade to go through and there was no fine
