With minor quibbles over what picks are included, I think this looks good for all four teams involved. I'd do the Columbus deal as a Columbus fan, and probably wouldn't even complain much if the pick coming from Calgary were a worse one. LA's going to need a cheap backup, and Vladar's a good choice. The Leafs swap is the one that gives me the most pause because it feels a little heavy for Calgary.

CGY isn’t making that TOR trade. Probably more likely to be a 1:1 with Hanifin and Nylander, especially given the AAV savings that TOR gets in 2023-24 and beyond when extensions are signed for both guys.

I don’t hate the CLB trade, but Conroy and scouts would need to confirm Sillinger is poised to be a 3C or better at this age. And I don’t think CGY is adding more than a 4th round pick in this swap (2nd is too much for a guy of Lindholm’s calibre)
