Deals are fair. Maybe take out the third going from Buffalo to Toronto and ask for 50% retention so the Leafs can sign another LD for depth purposes, and at that point they won't be screwed under the cap if Thornton and Spezza get hurt all the sudden we have we need to play with 11 forwards lol.

We cant trade Hutch he has been so good for us this year

So the Leafs lose Hutchinson and then wait five games for Ullmark to be NHL ready. Sure, Leafs don't have any NHL goalie besides Campbell for five games And Hutchinson has been fine this season. And to lose Kerfoot, waiting for Granlund to arrive. Not sure how it makes the Leafs better this season and giving away futures too.

Why would you trade Hutchinson, he's been an emergency call up all year, he doesn't even need waivers to move to the taxi squad. Just keep him.

And hutch doesn't even need waivers to move to the taxi squad.

Buffalo easily says no as we intend to keep Ullmark

So we should keep paying Kerfoot 3.5 million to do what exactly? And go into the playoffs with Campbell and Freddy? Campbell has been great, but he's far from being a proven goalie, and we both know how it'll end if Freddy is our starter.

Granlund should find his game with the Leafs, and Ullmark solidifies our goaltending.

It isn't really Buffalo's decision. Ullmark is a UFA.

Hypothetically, lets say for some insane reason Ullmark wants to resign with Buffalo. Why not move Ullmark for assets and then just resign him when he hits UFA?

Not really worth the situation it would cause. We’d likely lose out the season and further damage the youngsters we have. Have you not seen our record with non-Ullmark starters? We have 1 win over about 20 games.

Your young players were being butchered by bad coaching. Is it worth risking losing Ullmark for nothing?

Honestly, yes. I'd rather lose him for nothing and win 10 of the next 20 than go 0-15-5 and shatter what little confidence they have in order to fetch a bot 6 center and a middling prospect. (Not to mention lose our 3rd too for unknown reasons.

with the new coaching its incredibly unlikely you'd got 0-15-5. Not like Ullmark is the savior of the franchise.
