That seems like a pretty low return for the Leafs. I love Brandy Clarke and I think Carter George will be a good one, but he would still be 4th in the depth chart in Toronto. Whereas in L.A. he will be first call up and get the majority of minutes in the minors. They still have Forsberg for another year at a reasonable salary as a backup.
Lombardi was a 4th round pick and is still in junior. I think you get that and possible more from another team just for Nylander without Stolarz. I think a landing spot for Stolarz might be Florida again. Bobrovsky might sign elsewhere and if he does sign in Florida it won't be at the age of 37 for another $10 million.

Stolarz is one trade the Leafs definitely should make, at least for me. Woll is younger and a bit less money.
Florida would no doubt be very interested; they know his history and need a dependable goalie even if Bobrovsky doesn’t go elsewhere or resigns.
Unfortunately Florida has little with which to barter.
They have 2 R2 picks in 2026 so that should be a very decent pick given their overall position this year.
I’d want the earlier pick plus two of the following:
Gracyn Sawchyn, a 21 yo C #63 in ‘23 and can fly and score but is only 5.11 and 165 but is a battler,
Jack Devine, a 22yo RW #221 in ‘22 and has a hi-end motor,
Sandis Vilmanis, a 22yo LW #157 in ‘22, solid skater with a great wrist shot or
Simon Zether, a 20yo 2-way C # 129 in ‘24, solid skater with surprising offensive skills.

Well I don't think that Stolarz truly will bring back much given his age and not a big track record other than being a good #2. However, with his past in Florida who knos what they might give us. To free up that $3.75 m would be nice though for cap. If we got a 2nd round pick and, to be very greedy, Shea Busch.
He has been out for most of the season in the WHL, but they are hoping he will play in the playoffs. He had 18 pts in 15 games, and the kid is a beast. 6'-3" 216 lbs. Plays both wings. They protected the injury status, but sounds like similar to what Schaefer had.
