I really like the roster you put together here - adding Copp, Anderson, Simmonds up front and Tanev, Hjalmarsson on D would be a significant upgrade, and likely a slight improvement with Keumper in net.
Some of your trades and signings are a bit optimistic though:
- Josh Anderson will probably cost more than Johnsson + 3rd, if it was a 1st maybe it makes sense for Columbus. But either way the contract situation for him is not ideal - the 1 year deal you propose walks him into UFA and a longer term is going to significantly increase the AAV. I could see $4.5m x 3 years making some sense for both sides, except the Leafs probably need to sacrifice somewhere else to fit that in.
- Arizona trade looks reasonable, love the idea of pairing Hjalmarsson (or Larsson from EDM) with Sandin on the 3rd pair to help him develop with a Swedish vet.
- Winnipeg will not be keen to part with Copp, the trade seems reasonable if you are high on Dermott, I just don't think the Jets pull the trigger on it.
- Tanev probably gets north of $5m unless he really wants to take a discount to play in Toronto.
- Simmonds probably gets something closer to $2m. Leafs should only offer league min, I think he probably ends up going elsewhere but anything could happen!
- Mikheyev best case scenario is probably closer to $2m x 2.
Hard to fit all the more realistic AAV's under the cap, and need room for at least 1 more roster player, so something would have to give!
