Obviously dubas won't make a big move I think the roster is pretty much set for next season but I do have one suggestion. But this only happens if Kase is healthy if not then keep what we have.

Leafs
Kerfoot
Howell
2022 7th

Ducks
Rackell (50% retained)

Rackell knows Ritchie well as they played together in Anaheim. I'm not too sure how I really feel abou Kerfoot I mean what you see is what you get. Fast, decently skilled, good penalty killer
Lineup next year if Kase is healthy

Bunting Matthews Marner
Kase Tavares Nylander
Ritchie Rackell Mikheyev
Simmonds Kampf Spezza

That is a really solid team that is full of players who can play up in down the lineup. We also have guys like Malgin and Anderson as extras and Robertson being a wild card and we know Brooks can play the fourth line with Spezza very effectively. We have a lot of depth so we should be fine baring any Injuries.

And honestly Hutchinson was very good last season and I'm comfortable with him being the third goalie.

On defence the depth might be lacking depending on what Lilygreen and Menel can bring to the table.

I think maybe if you add Manson and Dermott in those deals I would take it but right now for that trade straight up I wouldn’t. I believe Kerfoot and Dermott will be traded together and I think the leafs need to get a player who is exactly like Bogosian to replace him in the bottom pairing on defence. Demers could work if they have cap to sign him or Chara or even in the trade market. As long if we can get someone good on any team to help with the top 6 it would be great.

I really need to know what makes people believe Bunting is a 1LW. Maybe he is and this is his chance but maybe, he's a middle 6 guy that will get way to much ice time.
