As a sub DAL fan, this is actually fairly interesting. A lot of expiring contracts on either side, with the only staying pieces being Faksa for TOR and Marner/Kerfoot for DAL. I can see DAL doing this if they're completely out of the playoff picture, but it does handcuff them pretty good on the defensive side for the current year.
On the TOR side... I don't know. I think they would need some reassurance they would be able to keep any of these guys. But at the current cap, and their likely demands for the new contracts (Klingberg wants and will get 8million from someone, for example), I don't really see it happening. Maybe you keep Klingberg, but lose Reilly? Is that really beneficial for TOR? I don't know.
Overall, it's a bit more interesting after the initial look. I think it really depends on playoff picture and extension talks with all the expiring contracts
