The Trade in a nutshell for the Leafs and the Kings
Leafs: Lose Marner (one of the best playmaker in the league, with a decent defensive game, who's hockey IQ is off the charts, and already has a 94 point season at only 23), Liljegren who's going to be a solid top 3 d-man, Brooks (who's not really worth anything, but whatever), 2 seconds (2 players that have top 9, maybe even top 6 upside, especially since Dubas is awesome at drafting). They get Doughty, who sucks now and eat 4.5 million of his salary for 7 years. In conclusion, our offence and future is screwed, and our defence is slightly better.
The Kings add Marner to their roster and setting up a potential dynasty in 5 years, while losing arguably the WORST contract in the league and Vilardi (who has top 6 upside, with mediocre skating and is injury-prone).
You can't argue with facts.
