Reasons to my madness

1. Philippe Myers was loaned to the Toronto Marlies halfway through last season so Toronto is familiar with him. His buyout actually creates cap space next season. Philippe Myers signs a league minimum contract because Toronto makes an effective pitch by offering a defined role and opportunity to round out his game with Toronto’s development coaches.


2. Seattle Kraken Head Coach Dave Hakstol worked with Justin Holl when he ran the Leafs defence. Holl emerged as a surprising Top 4 RHD under his tutelage and Seattle will be looking to improve after a brutal start last year. In Toronto’s perspective this trade gives them Donskoi who had a bad year in Seattle but has played well with great players during his time in Colorado. Toronto pays extra to get a retention.

3. Leafs do the unthinkable and keep Petr Mrazek and resign Jack Campbell- the hope being that a new goaltending coach helps return Mrazek’s game or makes him a more valuable player to trade during the season- Toronto just rid themselves of the Phil Kessel retention and I highly doubt they want to buyout or trade any more picks to undo this mistake

4. Toronto Maple Leafs trade Alex Kerfoot to create cap space and recoup picks- Detroit is on the upswing and Kerfoot is a versatile player who Yzerman would value
