The deal is not official and a draft pick or something similar could be heading to Toronto as well. Once Pittsburgh clears the necessary cap space, we will learn more.
According to Damien Cox of the Toronto Star, the Leafs are likely to take on the contract of Martin Skoula along with Caputi. That would put the Pens under the cap and allow the deal to go through.
