I think the Leafs have overpaid to Boston and Arizona (wow that's weird to say). I wouldn't trade the #15 for two years of Kuempfer (or Johnsson, who is good people forget).
Trading Rielly should be an automatic no. He's one of the best puck-moving offensive defencemen in the league. Nurse is a very similar player who does the same things a bit worse than Rielly and is more expensive. Ethan Bear doesn't solve our defensively minded RHD issue.
I mean, Kuraly is a fine player but there are similar guys to get in the UFA market that won't cost you Dermott.
