I think Kap is probably the most chased winger on the market at the moment.
He's young, has term, and he's a decent role guy. Make no mistake he's not the "talent" on any line but he seems to do ok fitting in. Every team needs some role players in the middle 6.
TOR needs defensive help and some cap space for it, so that part kind of makes sense.
I'm willing to be there are probably 3-4 teams looking into getting him. The question is do the leafs move him. I don't see them getting much of a return on Johnsson and I don't think they would trade anyone else other than maybe Moore, but he too doesn't hold any real value to improve on the blue line.
So I think Kaps trade happens, how it happens is a different story. I see them dumping an expiring D contract and Kap to get a D back.
