Slight overpay on the Cernak trade + huge overpay on his contract

I'd say cut Holl and it's fine.

Also Liljegren is nowhere near ready for top-6 minutes. If you cut 2.5m off Cernak's contract the D can look like

Rielly-Cernak
Muzzin-Manson
Lehtonen-Holl
Sandin

which is way better

I dont think Tampa has the cap to take Johnsson. Maybe a Liljegren/Cernak swap would work

Leafs are not trading Holl, Kapanen and Dermott as they are all important young players on this dream team.

Overpay on the cernak trade? We literally get the best prospect and the best player in the deal!!! Tama says no, quality>quantity. Doesn't matter either way though, Tampa can't afford to take on the extra cap

Overpay on the cernak contract? Absolutely.

Also I wouldn't do the Manson trade

How come so many Toronto ACGM's forget that re-signing Kyle Clifford elevates the 2021 third originally included in that trade to the 2021 second?

You can't be serious with this comment. Toronto is by far getting the best of this deal with Holl included as well as being able to use a 2nd round pick that they don't own.
