The problem with the Toronto trade is that it makes no sense unless you have completed the Ottawa trade first: you're not getting the Columbus third from Los Angeles, and there's a good chance you won't have your own 2020 third as a result of the Lucic/Neal deal, so if you trade away your own first, you won't have a pick in the 2020 draft until the fifth round. And I'm having difficulty seeing how you can sweeten the offer to Ottawa to get them to trade you the 20th overall pick. But if you substitute Yamamoto for Puljujarvi, and then get a second for Puljujarvi . . .
