Cant do it. Obviously this is a crazy deal shown here. But taking NAZ contract back is just too much. If they gave TO Tanev for free maybe. Like if this deal was Bertuzzi and Brodie for Naz and Tanev straight up. I could see considering it. Trying to make it work. But that Naz contract is just so bad, CAL needs to pay heavy to get rid of it. Even if you get Tanev with it. Even without giving up an asset, the Leafs would still need to make sacrifices to their team in order to fit Naz in. Basically hindering their ability to rebuild the D corps, which they badly need to do. Just doesn't make any sense. If Im the Leafs going after Tanev right now, Im offering Liljegren straight up. Or Timmins and a 5th rounder. The other offer would be a 2nd round pick straight up. But the Leafs don't have any. Otherwise, id take my chances and see if he is available in FA. I would not offer a first for him straight up.
