That's a no from the Leafs. Kerfoot is better centre than Haula, and though Granlund would be nice, Leafs have wingers.
That's a big price to pay for 1.5 years of Eklund. So he bumps Dermot or Bogosian out of the lineup...who have been playing well.
Plus the two weeks Covid isolation and the Leafs are down three player for two weeks, before the players can even practice. Really the trades helps marginally this year if at all, and really hurts the future.

NSH declines the Granlund & Haula trade, but accepts the Ekholm proposal.

Agree completely.
