I honestly don't see how its that bad, A.Brooks and McEneny are essentially throwins on both sides and don't need to be included, so in essence the trade is Bracco, Carrick, 2 2nds for Tanev , a 5th and a 7th. I don't know about you but I don't think that Carrick has a ton of value, he's mostly a 3rd paring defensemen with some offense, so the 5th and 7th should suffice. The trade than becomes Tanev, who despite his injury history is a solid 2-3 defensemen for the Leafs, plus he has some chemistry with Reilly and most importantly he's not overpaid. As for what the Leafs lose, they give up a decent prospect who likely plays a middle six role in the NHL and 2 2nds which aren't likely to be very high, plus more than anything they are unpredictable. If anything the offer you mentioned seems like more of an overpayment. I know you could argue that Carrick and Brooks still have upside but given that the Leafs are about to enter a cap crunch, they cant keep banking on upside for mid twenties players, they need to go out and get a proven product that can help this team make a playoff run before they have to pay the likes of Marner, Mathews Nylander.
