I absolutly love this for Toronto. McCann is good and we paid very little for him.
For real though. Everyone on this site always yells about how anyone rumoured to the Leafs is going to cost an arm and a leg, but then Kyle trades for their actual value or less and people always freak out. Like guys, make the adjustment already. Dubas knows how to swing a trade.
Penguins were probably going to lose him anyway, but they still didn't get as much value from a trade as I would've thought. At least they got Hallander back in the system.
Basically gave up a 7th for him since Penguins gave them Hållander for free. Kappy wasn’t even worth the 15oa pick at that time
Kapanen's value was worth a late 1st. 15 might have been a touch high on its own but that would have been fair value. People on here always underestimate what Leafs players are worth, or overestimate what players going to the Leafs are worth and then freak out when Dubas trades them for proper value or more in favour of the Leafs. Like guys its time to make the adjustment.

Dickinson got a 3rd and McCann was on pace for 61p/82gp this year

That draft was extremely deep and the 15oa in that draft might have been top 10 in a normal draft. They could have got him for a good prospect and a 2nd imo or a 25-31 1st (like you said) not the 15oa + a good prospect
