Description
These moves only happen if the conditions listed below occur. If this does happen, I think it's what the leafs need to finally progress in the playoffs.

Trades
1.
TOR
  1. Formenton, Alex [RFA Rights]
Additional Details:
This is assuming neither the leafs or senators are able to reach a deal with their pending RFA's. Toronto gets a great young forward to help their top 9 after losing Kerfoot.
OTT
  1. Holl, Justin
  2. Sandin, Rasmus [RFA Rights]
Additional Details:
This is assuming neither the leafs or senators are able to reach a deal with their pending RFA's. Ottawa gets a good young defenseman is Sandin who can be part of their core for years to come. They also get Holl who can help bolster their very weak right side, and can also flip him for a pick at the trade dead line if the sens are out of a playoff spot. This also takes into account that the sens will probably dump Zaitsev to a team (probably the coyotes or sabres).
2.
TOR
  1. Tanev, Christopher
Additional Details:
*This trade is done at the deadline in order to make the cap work* Tanev is exactly the kind of player the leafs need to push their defense over the top. A right handed, defensive-minded dman who can move the puck off the ice and plays an important role on the penalty kill.
CGY
  1. Kerfoot, Alexander
  2. Knies, Matthew [Reserve List]
  3. 2023 3rd round pick (OTT)
Additional Details:
*This trade is done at the deadline in order to make the cap work* Calgary has 4 dmen who are more comfortable on the right side. If they are able to sign Weegar to an extension, that puts Tanev at best 3rd on the right behind Weegar and Andersson, and possibly 4th if you throw in Zadorov. This lets Calgary move out an asset they have an abundance of for some help up front with Kerfoot, and a great future with Knies.

Calgary isn't trading Tanev lol, Weegar has played LD for 3 seasons straight, he is more than confortable playing there. Not sure where you got the idea Zadorov was more comfortable on the right side when he doesnt play RD at all, or that he would ever be above Tanve - the best shutdown defenseman in the league - in the depths chart

I can't see Calgary trading Tanev at the deadline unless something catastrophic has happened - they really have no one that would be able to step into RD3 if they're in the middle of a playoff push.

I'd rather go into 2023-24 with that crazy depth at RD if I'm the Flames, even if it means I'm paying more for my RD3 than I normally would want to - the team will still have cap to work with since Milan Lucic's $5.25M will expire this summer (and assumedly be devoted mostly to re-signing Weegar.)

Zadorov has played over half his games throughout his career on the right side. And I agree Tanev is an amazing player (I am a canucks fan lol), I just thought it was a way for both Toronto and Calgary to improve a somewhat weaker area by dealing from a position of strength.

Calgary is very strong on RD, so they deal to improve in a somewhat weaker area, their top 9 wingers.

Toronto is very strong on top 9 wingers, so they deal to improve in a weaker area, their RD.

Wouldn't touch Formenton with the uncertainty of the 2018 world junior team.

Signing MacKenzie Weegar doesn't make Christopher Tanev expendable, So obviously Calgary passes.
