Holl is meh and Ritchie's worthless. You have a bottom-4 D-man and a cap dump bottom-6 wing here included for one of OTT's most prolific winger. There's no value in there, only close to $5M of dead cap. Which is something Sens have once already received from Leafs in Zaitsev.
If you need to dump these guys to make money for the trade, fine, but the part of value is missing here. OTT would likely maximize his value by retaining as cap space is not a problem for them, which would certainly increase his value.
Robertson+2022 1st. That's what I'd want if I retain half of Brown's salary and take in some needless cap dumps. Also that comes pretty close to what NJ got for Coleman, and with half retention their cap hit is exactly the same.
If Leafs were to suggest lowering the value of the trade by not having Sens retain any salary, I'd just decline and sell Brown elsewhere. Sens are bound to get a huge haul for him from any contender.
