That is an excellent trade for Toronto. Absolutely insane that they're getting Barrie at 50% retained, even though it's only for one year. That completely solves any cap issues they might have had. Just goes to show what Kadri's term was worth.
At this point the Leafs should be favoured to come out of the East. Obviously a lot can change, even between now and puck drop much less now and next year's playoffs. But this is a huge, huge move for them.
