Tor - Phil Kessel, Tyler Bozak, Peter Holland, Roman Polak, 2015 3rd rd pick
Wsh - Marcus Johansson, Madison Bowey, Brooks Laich, 2015 1st rd pick
Kessel = Bowey, 2015 1st
Bozak, Holland = Johansson
Polak, 3rd = Laich
Washington needs to win now with Ovechkin and Backstrom in there primes Bozak and Kessel give them a scoring punch on the second line. They will thrive against teams second pairings. Holland is a cheap young third line center for them. Polak can play on their bottom pairing giving them good depth to their d core. Washington gets top talents without giving up young core guys like Tom Wilson, Andre Burakovsky, Evgeni Kuznetsov
Leafs get a solid d prospect. Johansson is a younger center that could grow with the team. Laich works as a cap dump. The first will hopefully net them a good prosect.

I like the idea of getting young assets for those guys. I think you've undervalued kessel and bozak a little bit. I wouldn't mind the return for kessel but would try to get a bit more. Holland is still young and has shown potential, would like to see something of less value in his spot.
Overall good value but that is a lot of cap for Washington to take on. with big contracts already locked up and only having 12 guys signed for next year, I don't see this being realistic. Would have to chance Polak to Brennan probably.
