Description

The Leafs need to find a permanent solution to their LW in the top 6. Bunting is good but could be improved on. Also, Kerfoot is a good player but not the right fit for the 2nd line LW spot. As for D, not sure that can be fixed on the market but clearly need something more come playoff time. If Muzzin is able to comeback for the playoffs, all the better (maybe.. I think he's done and should stay done).
Hate to trade Robertson but to get a guy like O'Rielly is worth it. I'm not sure where Robertson fits in this lineup moving forward.

Send the hate. Also, prices . . . obviously who knows but generally I think those are reasonable considering the years those players are having. The Kerfoot move might return a 4th instead and the aquiring team might include a 3rd team for retention but that isn't a factor here.

Switch a third rounder to a first and the jackets consider. Can also take back a bad expiring contract

You said "The Leafs need to find a permanent solution to their LW in the top 6", there's no guarantee that O'Reilly would stay around, he would need to take no more than 5mx5, but probably something more like 4.25mx6 which is a major discount, it would put his career earnings to 100m before taxes but that doesn't mean he would be willing.

Leafs don't really have a bad expiring contract, and they wouldn't give that much up for Gavrikov, I think Dubas would give two 2nds worth at most, which means he might not land Gavrikov. Perhaps he offers a 2025 1st+2023 4th + prospect but doubt it.

The trades are a bit light for the other teams. Ultimately the Leafs are the buyers.

1. Not sure NASH has the cap or wants UFA to be, but a high round 3rd MIGHT be enough
2. Gavi with retention is probably more than two mid level (at best) prospects and two 3rds. I think Steeves (instead of SDA) and/or a 2nd (instead of a 3rd) would be needed. Like Steeves, a 2nd and a 3rd might do it.
3. I think Robertsons value isnt high enough and the 1st is lower round, and thats a lot of retention, I think you'd have to add a fairly substantial piece (a 2nd, or a top 5 prospect, or Sandin)

Just not sure its enough or what the team needs, that bottom 6 still looks weak and goaltending is still a question mark
