The Leafs are at contract maximum, you'd have to take on contracts for any trade to work.
Perhaps a lower-tier prospect like Kral or Hollowell would be a more appropriate trade piece for Savard (along with picks, obviously), but the timelines don't really make sense. Niemela's going to be an NHL player sooner rather than later, and Savard's contract exceeds Sandin and Liljegren's extensions. It would make more sense and be cheaper to offer teams just picks for a rental.
I don't really know Pezzetta, but his penalty minutes makes him look like more of a liability (per 60) than Simmonds.
