If Leafs are not all in on winning the Cup now, then trade all of your top 4 & Reilly. Sh.. or get off the pot. Leafs have the picks & prospects to significantly improve the team, but seem to lack the will or know how.

Leafs do not have a 2023 - 2nd round pick as it went to the Kraken in the trade for Giordano.
Leafs might not have a 2023 - 3rd round pick as the Coyotes hold that pick (or 2025 - 2nd round pick, their choice) from the Lyubushkin transaction.
Can’t trade what you don’t have!
If you expect Chicago and Vancouver to eat half of Kane and Miller’s contracts for 2022 - 2023 then I suspect you would have to increase your remuneration substantially.
