It seems about right. Leafs overpay a little.

That should be the case if you're the one proposing the trade
here are the questions you should be asking yourself about this trade.
1. Does columbus want to get better, or offload roster assets? (Do they want players, or picks)
2. Does columbus like the player you’re trading for, and do they want him on their team?
3. Are they the kind of team that’s in a position to retain on a contract?
4. Does the transaction make columbus a better team next season?
If the answers to those questions are: get better, yes of course they want the player, no they absolutely can’t retain, and no of course this doesn’t make them better then ask the following:
Is a 2nd and a 3rd round pick enough motivation to get them to ignore what they’re trying to do as an organization and deviate from the plan?
Hell no it isnt.
