Leafs will trade Mrazek at some point before the start of next season in order to free the capspace for a Campbell extension (which you're pretty spot on at $5.5M based on what I've read as well, though I believe the term is going to be 5-6yrs instead of 4.) That said, there is no way you move him to a team for a 1st and a 3rd, even if that team was desperate. I've always been a fan of his even before he came to Toronto, but this years numbers aside, he doesn't fetch that return even if this was 2 years ago based on his Carolina numbers. Goalies that aren't top tier don't fetch high returns in this current market anymore.
Although I agree with what's been previously stated about Kerfoot in this thread, he's not getting a 1st round pick. If the Leafs trade him, and I believe they will, he's going to be part of a deal where he is not only a big part of the return, but a necessary asset for money matching purposes if the team tries to go for a more impact name at the deadline.
Pretty close to the number's I've heard predicted for Sandin and Liljegren on bridge deals, but Kase at $2M for 6 years made me laugh. I think the money value would be there, though I think he may push for $2.5 - $3M annual, he's not signing a 6yr deal at that price point anywhere.
I think you get more for Holl than you do for Dermott.
Maybe slightly controversial opion here, but considering a 37 year old Patrick Marleau was able to get two offers over $5M AAV when he hit the market 5 years ago, Giroux who is younger and putting up better numbers is going to sign for more term and a higher AAV than 2yrs @ $4M per.
