Leafs with Zadorov added to their current D corps (nothing taken away, Kilngberg obv won't be missed), and experienced starting goalie (Markstrom) in net and a new top line of Huberdeau Matthews Marner. That could be their best shot at a cup in decades.

Plus, Nylander's a UFA at the end of the year, so TO's gonna have to move something regardless. Whether it's someone else to make cap space or Nylander himself.

Spoiler!

If I were Huberdeau, as bad as it is here with the press and the way he's playing, I can only imagine how bad it would be in TO if he doesn't get his game together there. However, it is the Eastern Conference where we hear his game is more suited, maybe he thinks it is worth a shot.
