The issue with these Leafs-Rangers trades is people try to make them too big. You probably aren't getting all 3 of those guys. DeAngelo may not fit what Toronto is looking for in an RHD (He's more Tyson Barrie than Jake Muzzin) and not to mention he may not exactly vibe with our locker room.
Georgiev is good and helps Toronto, but not sure the Rangers have gotten value out of moving him here. Lias Andersson is not a cost the Leafs want to pay. The Rangers will want lots for him and I don't see a fit for him in Toronto's long range plans. He has 9 points in 65 NHL games, and while that's not the best way to evaluate him, he hasn't exactly lit up the AHL (or the Liiga before that). His ELC only has another year after this one, so his RFA status is moved up and because the Rangers stupidly played him in 42 games last year, his UFA clock will be up faster as well. They have totally mismanaged this situation and to be honest, I would prefer the Leafs steer clear of it. Let a rebuilding team take a chance on him.
