50 point scorer, solid prospect, 2nd, 4th, and 7th for a waiver player, a fringe young guy, and the worst goalie in the league. Love it

I doubt Jacket's fans dislike this trade, like you say, but I can tell it's probably in the Jackets favor. I do see these players being available from the Jackets this offseason, but it probably is in packages to take on D-prospects and 2nd to 5th round picks to alleviate the bubble of bottom 6 players to make room for other young guys to come in. As a Jackets fan, I think Stenlund is a criminally underrated power forward center, Bemstrom is the unluckiest guy on the roster (I think he hit the most posts this season for CBJ + his injury history is rough), and I hope Korpisalo will turn it around after his surgeries this year.

The Leafs could probably get away with not sending the 2nd. Kerfoot really adds to the "too many middle 6 forwards" problem that Columbus has. I think a line of Kerfoot, Voracek, and Laine could be really fun to watch next year. Is Kerfoot more of a salary dump player at this point for the Leafs?

IDK. I kind of like the meat of the trade but the smaller assets could use more fine tuning. What would really make this trade make more sense to me is if a third team came in and took on Kerfoot, and a couple of those picks, and the Jackets walk away with a RHD after unloading their forward bubble. Maybe the Jackets retain 50% of the Kerfoot contract and send the 12 and this is just part of a three way blockbuster that gets Chychrun out of Arizona and Toronot can keep Der-Arguchintsev. I think Columbus would owe Toronto more, but I think it would come in the form of salary retainage or picks, but I really don't know what Toronto needs.

We may win this trade and that's cause it's very one-sided
Bemstrom is interesting, he was a pp specialist on euro ice that Torts tried to turn into a checking forward. Terribly mismanaged.
I don't think Stenlund is that underrated if he couldn't even make the lineup as a scratch/injury replacement this year, when he does play he doesn't move around much, most of his points come on the powerplay when he has more room than 5on5. I don't think Korpi will return to allstar status, and could see him possibly just going back to europe if no one else in the league wants him.

I agree with you on the skaters, and I wish both of them well in change-of-scenery trades. But Jarmo isn't going to trade Korpi this summer. He didn't just sign him to that show me contract to trade him. Nor do I think Dubas would trade for him.

I read that Jackets trade as follows:
* Bemstrom is tremendously underrated as a defensive contributor.
* It's Kerfoot.

Therefore no.
