For the big trade with Minnesota, I'd make the pick a conditional 2nd that turns into a 1st if the Leafs win the cup or Spurgeon signs an extension. A young, good roster player plus a guaranteed 1st seems like a very high price for a 1 year rental. Spurgeon is good, but he's not on an elite level.
The main issue here (which a lot of posts on here seem to have) is that no one seems to get that no team in the league is going to go into a season with such little cap space. Especially with no healthy scratches in case of injury. I'd say the minimum any team goes into the season with is $1M in cap space, but that's with a 23 man roster. Anything less and they won't sustain a competitive team over the full season
