I think I see where you are going with this, but I do not believe these are the right moves for the Leafs or the other two teams involved. Here are my thoughts:
1. Why would either team do that Nylander trade? Chicago has no reason to move Boqvist and frankly he probably has more value to them than Nylander, while Toronto does not need another overpaid defenceman in Murphy. That contract only gets in the way frankly.
2. Barrie is still a solid player, so I don't think we should trade him if we consider ourselves a contender.
3. The value is a bit off in the last trade because Hutch is worth very very little and DeSmith and a 2nd is a pretty steep price to pay for half of a season of Barrie, especially since Pittsburgh is not exactly the best team in a tough Eastern conference (particularly the metro).
Overall, I would keep Barrie while we make a push for a decent playoff run. He is certainly better than Murphy. I would also hold onto Nylander since he is playing well and the contract isn't looking quite so bad now, even if Boqvist is good and has lots of potential. So, pretty much, I don't think either deal makes sense for either team involved. But good on you to have some fun and share your thoughts.
