I would be pretty intrigued if their 2017 1st + prospect was offered. There's a good chance Toronto repeats a bottom finish, and this could be a good lottery pick.

I wouldn't do it.
I wouldn't trade it to Toronto for anything short of Marner (which they wouldn't do). You gotta remember Toronto tanked this year... remove the first round pick and you remove the incentive to tank. You'd be making a bet that the Leafs next year +Marner, +healthy JVR (maybe), +Nylander, +Matthews, + any free agents they sign (Stamkos?) will be similarly as bad and that whoever you're able to draft next year will has good as whoever you can draft this year +1 year of experience.
I'll take the bird in the hand.
