-I think Arizona would pass on this. Sandin/1st/2nd would be a good start, but if you're kicking both picks to 2024 I think the last piece needs to be a significant prospect - and Abruzzese just isn't there for me. He's already 23 and hasn't done a whole lot at the NHL level - the fact that the Leafs are calling up guys like Joey Anderson and Bobby McMann over him gives me a lot of pause about how his game will translate at the NHL level. There needs to be something significant added/swapped out for Abruzzese here.
-This probably gets Meier, but I'd argue it's a bad deal for Toronto. I think Meier is a guy who would be a straight rental for them, and giving up your best prospect and your '23 1st for a rental you're not going to have the space to sign, then adding additional assets on top of that, is just too much.
