Toronto:
LW Michael Dal Colle (1 @ 863k)
C. Jason Chimera (UFA)
2rd Pick

Islanders:
C. Tyler Bozak (UFA)
RHD. Connor Carrick

NYI looking for help down the middle and an NHL defender.

Leafs take a chance on Dal Colle finding some consistency (currently a scratch for AHL Bridgeport, but immensely skilled)
and get a second for two guys unlikely to beyond this season (Although i'd prefer to see them play Carrick over Polak)

I think this could work for both teams, (contracts are years after this season):

Toronto:
RHD. Sami Vatanen (2yrs; 4.875mm per)

Anaheim:
C. Tyler Bozak (UFA; 4.2mm)
RW. Kasperi Kapanen (1yr; 863k)

Anaheim needs immediate help at centre and also requires cap-room come offseason to resign Brandon Montour. To get cap-space they would have to let Bozak walk which would be likely given Getzlaf and Kessler would be coming back. Montour will become and RFA July 1 and they already have him ahead of Vatanen.

For Toronto they get a really talented Right handed d who could potentially play top minutes with Rielly depending on if chemistry were to form. Even still a top 4 RHD.
