A condition that shan?t be met.
 
Luchuk and Archibald were pinched out of Marlies opportunities (and way too good for Growlers) so this could just be a chance for them to have a path to the NHL elsewhere.

Scouting reports for those that care.

So why did we do this? Why can't we just keep Luchuk?

If they kept Luchuk, the Leafs would be maxed out on NHL contracts. They also must think Veronneau will help the Marlies more than Luchuk - and maybe has more of an NHL future, if only marginally so.
 
If you're wondering why this happened, one of Friedman's recent 31 Thoughts articles made it seem like Veronneau requested a trade out of Ottawa. He was considered one of the top NCAA free agents a year ago when the sens signed him. Things haven't really gone as planned this season as he only has 4 NHL games and hasn't produced much at the AHL level. I'm guessing Toronto was pretty interested back then and thought he might be worth a flyer in their development system.
