Blue jackets for a first round pick , the leafs would then get eliminated in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs by the Montreal Canadiens and would eventually lose Nick Foligno in the same summer. Examples of players the Leafs GM can acquire with term on their contract are Josh Anderson, Travis Konecny, Jakob Chychrun and many more.
