Description
Do I like this team better?
No.

But do I think we'll be able to resign Reilly or Mikheyev next year?
Again, no.

Do I think not having Robertson and Liljgren on the team at the start of the season is a good idea?
Still no.

Did I at least get fair value for Reilly?
Possibly? It is only 1 year of Reilly. I guess you could add a conditional 2023 pick if Reilly re-signs with the Devils.

Either way I'm tired of watching the Leafs lose good players for nothing with non-stop disappointment year after year.

Reilly is a UFA at the end of the year. My guess is his next AAV will be around 8 million. The Leafs can't do that unless they move someone big. They seem ever unwilling to do that. So I tried to do something fair. The Leafs don't get a lot, but they get cap space, a decent prospect, and recuperate some draft capital. And NJ gets a pretty good pairing for Hamilton without mortgaging much of their future.

Leafs aren't winning the cup next year, and Reilly doesn't change that. But maybe they go on a little run and finally have a bit of playoff success. While Reilly undoubtedly makes that easier, it's not impossible without him. Plus, 3.5 mil in cap space and some extra draft picks could help land a pretty decent rental at the deadline.

Also, Robertson and Liljgren are waiver exempt. Brooks, Mennell, Engvall and Anderson are not. Honestly, I would be fine losing any of them, but my hope is Robertson and Liljgren force the Leafs to make a decision to part with some of them. Maybe there's a mid-season trade to be made, maybe not, but just in case it keeps a little extra depth.

Leafs won't do this and I don't blame them. Reilly is a popular player (for reference he's my favourite player), and fans would not love a trade that makes the team worse. But it's this or trade Marner next year (which I'm also fine with), except Sandin looks set to be a Reilly replacement. There isn't a Marner replacement.

Also, don't think there's a taxi squad this year, but using it to show some of the depth the Leafs would have assuming everyone clears waivers.

If that's the return for Rielly (which it definitely isn't) you keep him

Sorry, it's not a good reason to trade upcoming UFAs from a playoff contending team. Teams are trying to advance, so the Leafs keep Reilly and probably Mikheyev.
Using your logic, if it so terrible to have players "walk for nothing" why would any team trade for an upcoming UFA?
