This projection sort of assumes that the Leafs would be using IR for small ailments that otherwise might just be day-to-day. Regardless, removing Simmonds for two forwards with salaries totaling $2M or less would be an obvious workaround in that regard.

Yes, Arizona is taking on a slight salary increase here, but they're also acquiring a valuable draft pick and two NHL quality players who are seven years or more younger than Hjalmarsson.

Given Arizona's prospect/draft capital (or lack thereof) and it's less than promising future, taking on $2M in salary would be worth it if they're able to add the aforementioned assets. They could easily move a smaller contract in another trade if the additional $2M is unwanted.
