Outside that box:
--------
To Tor: Holtby, Djoos, Stephenson (holtby extends at 7x7, but that cap hit doesn't take effect for a year).
To Was: Nylander, Hutchinson, Schmaltz, 2nd (Tor), 2nd (CBJ)
--------
To CBJ: Andersen, 3rd, 5th
To Tor: pair of 2nds, some depth guy, cap space to sign Mitch long term
--------
Toronto gets three Cup rings for the same cap hit of a guy who has three career playoff goals. They open a top six spot for Kapanen and enough cap space to give Mitch whatever he wants, for eight years. They end up with Holtby for about what they'd end up paying Andersen to stick around in another couple years, and they add a ton of new leadership.
Washington throws a huge wrench in its season, by considering starting Hutchinson if Copley isn't ready, but it might add a good wing, if he ever shows up when it counts? At least his two 60 point seasons keep him from having negative trade value for a couple more years, even if he keeps coasting/struggling/Burakovskying.
Columbus prevents a slow and painful rebuild, and stays in the playoff hunt for the next two years, instead, letting Korpisaloo continue to build into a starter's role. Their forwards and defense are still good enough, and Andersen keeps them credible this year and next.
Everybody wins?
