In a vacuum, I don't hate that for McCabe, and it's actually fair and likely tilted a bit to the Leafs but when I look at the Leafs D group, their current top 4 are Reilly-OEL, Tanev-McCabe, who are all signed until the end of 2027-28. That's not a group that screams cup contention to me, so in terms of what the Leafs need to do, despite the deal in a vacuum is good, I'd say overall, it doesn't make sense for the Leafs considering what they need, which is a legit top guy, that will require money. This group of four eats up 20M.
