Leafs want to trade Simmonds as a favour to the player if there is a team willing to give him NHL playing time. He's just too far on the Leafs depth chart. Apparently the memo sent out to the league said the return didn't matter, they just want to do right by the player.

I think Engvall could probably get more if he wasn't being traded out of necessity. Any player being moved for cap reasons decreases their value. Now I dont think it decreases it so much that the Leafs would have to pay to get rid of Engvall, but I'm sure you have seen many people claiming that.

My point is that this return probably makes sense, if he even gets traded. Leafs may not trade Engvall, but if they are fully healthy they have to trade someone and Engvall is a real possibility. If they do trade him, I would not be surprised if this is the return, even if Engvall is theoretically worth more.

I'm not a bug fan of Barbashev because I think he overachieved last year, but let's assume he didn't and he is a 20 goal scorer at a reasonable cap hit this year.

1) He is a UFA next year and the Leafs will almost certainly not be able to retain him.

2) The Leafs can't really afford that reasonable cap hit right now without retention.

3) Leafs don't need Barbashev. He'd be a nice to have (assuming we're getting the Barbashev of last season and not the one of the playoffs). We're not giving up Sandin for a nice to have.

Personally, I don't think the Leafs trade Sandin unless they're getting back another good young defenseman (think Chychrun, although I doubt that happens for different reasons). I imagine they would rather let him miss the year then give him up for something that they're not sold on.

Anyway, now that I've written this long explanation why the Leafs won't do it, I expect this exact trade to be announced within the hour.
