Toronto trades
McCabe
5th round pick

Ottawa trades
Kelly
Brannstrom
Sokolov
3rd round pick

Ottawa could use a bottom pair defenceman to battle with kleven for a roster spot in the fall

Unless McCabe is committed long term on a new contract it would be better to get assets back before he walks for nothing after next season. Kelly, brannstrom and sokolov are all RFA's that the leafs can fill in nicely with their own RFA's NRobertson, dewar and liljegren. Leafs also turn their 5th into a 3rd, which is a bit over the top but should be enough to entice treliving.

Too much for McCabe, also McCabe didn’t like the idea of playing in Canada before being traded to Toronto so he probably wouldn’t play in Ottawa.
