After lengthy discussions, the Leafs and Devils have finally agreed to a pretty big deal today.

To Toronto
Brayden Schenn
Carl Soderberg
Erik Gudbranson
Brendan Dillon

To New Jersey
Tyler Johnson
2015 3rd
2016 2nd
3.25m cap

Probably the toughest deal to make since I've joined the CPHL. I'm a huge fan of Tyler Johnson and it was tough trading him, but this package worked for me. It's effectively four NHL players for one, with three of those still being young and improving while the fourth one is on a decent contract. Having to include some cap for Johnson's new contract isn't ideal, but that was the only way that 3thirty would include all the cheap players in this deal lol. My defense is now pretty much set for the foreseeable future (Giordano-Boychuk, Scandella-Hickey, Gudbranson-Dillon) and adding Schenn/Soderberg gives me more depth and balance up front.

This one is risky for both of us and will surely be interesting to look at in a couple of years. Thanks 3thirty for the talks - it took some time, but it was also a lot of fun!
