OK, I won't mention that Canes, don't need a left winger, but Pesce for JVR is a crappy trade for Carolina. Cheap top four Dmen under control for five full years is worth more than one full year of JVR.
I know the Leafs have mentioned they will take on cap, but I wondering if they are so willing to take on cap for the next year and in Kruger's case two full years? And NOT having Kruger and Orprik gives the Leafs 8.6m to spend on two players which might be better, although by your trade they wouldn't have Bowey.
