The trade would certainly make the Leafs better this year. But Meier's cap next season really doesn't work for the Leafs without probably Nylander next summer, so how are the Leafs better off?
Leafs are hoping Niemela is a Leafs in 2024/25 and Knies this season or next. Having two NHLer on cheap ELC is important for the cap strapped Leafs. IMO Meier isn't a fit for the Leafs.
Teams with more cap and available prospects and picks to satisfy the Sharks seems to be best deal for everyone.
