Det
Nylander $6.96M

Tor
Nedeljkovic $3M
Rasmussen $1.46M
Smith $.750M

Wings pick up a high end offence in Nylander who is in the age group of the rest of their top 6 players.

Leafs take a chance on Ned who is on an expiring contract. They get a big C/W in Rasmussen and a 4th liner in Smith while saving on the cap.

Then

LA
Kerfoot $3.5M
Robertson ELC

Tor
Wagner $1.13M
Kaliyev RFA
Fagemo ELC

LA gets a versatile top 9 player on expiring contract and a A- prospect who could be NHL ready.

Leafs get a 4th liner with grit that LA has in the minors. A young top 9 winger in Kaliyev and a B prospect in Fagemo.

Rasmussen and Kaliyev sign 2X$2M deals each.

Cap out $10.5M
Cap in $10.4M

If Yzerman wants Nylander I would try and squeeze a bit more out. I really wanted to see a trade for Ned when he was on the Canes and make him backup, I still think he's got it in him.

I like that LA trade. Get it done.

Doesn’t seem like much of a return for a 34 goal, 80 point player.
A backup goalie, a 3rd line center and a 4th line winger.
I’m sure the Leafs can do far better.

@WB/ LL. Maybe Leafs can get more from the Wings. The Leafs issue is going to be able to find a goalie for around $4M per season or under. Even if they move Mrazek, Kerfoot and Holl, that is about maximum they can probably spend on a goalie. It also comes down to what does it cost to move Mrazek and what does it cost to get a quality goalie at around $4M or less? If Leafs could also land Stolarz for instance after these deals, they should be good. I do wonder if Anaheim is going to look at moving Fowler this summer as well.
