The Leafs and RFAs

From today's Lance Hornby column.

The Leafs also can get bold and sign a restricted free agent, as long as it's between $1.3 million and $2.6 million a year, costing only a second-rounder.
Really?

I don't think the Leafs can bid on any RFAs in this range, because:
  • Teams must use their own draft picks for RFA compensation, and the picks have to be in the following year's draft
  • The Leafs don't own a second-round pick next year thanks to the Schenn trade
Please tell me I've got this wrong, because the alternative is that random bloggers like me know the CBA better than one of Toronto's top hockey writers.

    I'm going to assume you know more than Hornsby without bothering to check the CBA.

    I guess the tipoff in that article should have been the line about the Leafs preparing for life without Sundin for the first time since 1995.
