Solving the Leafs problems

how does this fix goaltending? Why would you trade for a 6 million dollar goalie who hasnt been a starter by any metric for 3+ years and give up a bunch of good futures when you can just sign campbell for less?

Gibson is a good idea but a serious roll of the dice at that price point.

And Simmonds and Clifford on the team? Yikes

Kerfoot isnt a cap dump, and if traded would fetch a 2nd round pick most likely

Holl and the third get you one year of Anthony Stolarz, so you're evaluating 5 years of John Gibson as one first-round draft pick more.

Think that over.

He is a cap casualty, though. The only reason Toronto would trade him is to have cap space to do other things, and interested teams know this. He's also on an expiring contract, so it's certainly possible that the market for him is softer than Toronto might hope . . . probably even in places like Seattle, if you can believe that!
