IMO I don't mind this trade, and I think value wise its pretty fair, however as much as I am a fan of Kucherov, is he the missing piece TOR is looking for? Are the Leafs getting better? Basically they're swapping JVR for Kucherov, taking on a bad contract and giving up a second to make this upgrade. I feel like TOR is further along developing a future Kucherov (Marner, Nylander, Kapanen, Rychel Johansson) than something that JVR brings which is a net presence, some physicality and what I think of as more of a two-way player. Now in all honesty, JVR hasn't played for some time so my memory of him isn't the greatest, I just don't know if its beneficial to make this move.
