I don't really like it. If there was an absolute upgrade on kerfoot at the trade deadline that you wanted, then trade him then. That LW spot is weak on the roster. You don't know if Robertson can play this year (it's been a mess with his injuries), many doubt Ritchie in the top six, and although I think Bunting is solid, he's still only played less than 30gms in the NHL. Kerfoot is still the best bet to actually play in your top six LW. Leafs are also in a more competitive division. Having Kerfoot on your roster contributing is far better than just accruing cap space. I guess the pick for Engvall is fine if you think there is no use for him on the team and that he would definitely get picked off waivers. I think he could be a good option as a cheap defensive player.
The Abramov and Anderson trade is just pointless to me. From everything I have read the leafs actually like these players and think they can contribute to the them (maybe as soon as this year with Anderson). Why would you give them up? To just recoup some draft picks? The picks will not help with your current timeline, and their value at the trade deadline is negligible. If you must trade a 4th, trade next year's 4th.
