While Mcdo would probably be good for the Leafs' Dcore... his contract is waaaayyy too brutal to consider as it ends when he is 37 (expecially if NSH would likely decline any retention).

That’s a lot of retention to downgrade really at both spots. The pieces proposed from the leafs side aren’t bad, but I don’t think Nashville would have a problem moving Saros without heavy retention, also not sure theyd really want to retain on McDonough for 3 years.

NSH doesn't have two retention spots available, and the package they're receiving isn't remotely enticing.

There’s just no way this is good enough for both those guys, Nashville loses this

Don't see Domi waiving NTC for NAS also

Mc



McDonough has negative value...

But yeah this trade makes minimal sense for either side

McDonagh's been playing well. He's earning his keep, even before you factor in the 50% retention the OP is asking for.

Domi and Samsonov on the other hand...
