Not saying I prefer this route...but I could see Dubas moving Kadri/Brown over Nylander and then promoting Bracco. Maybe it depends on what offers come in the door for which players.
I largely agree on your comment above on Zaitsev. Without knowing how other GM's view him as a trade asset it's difficult to gauge how much or little it makes sense to try and trade him.
If you can package a Kadri + Zaitsev to bring in an affordable upgrade on right D and then maybe still move brown to get under the cap it might leave the leafs in a better overall position...but that's easy to say, might not be as easy to actually execute.
