The One NHL Trade Every Fan Wishes They Could Erase—And Why It Still Haunts Their Team
Toronto Maple Leafs
Nazem Kadri, Calle Rosen and 2020 third-round pick for Alex Kerfoot, Tyson Barrie and 2020 sixth-round pick (2019)
Kadri was coming off his second straight suspension in the playoffs when the Leafs dealt him to Colorado. There was frustration there, certainly. The Leafs also had problems on defense and thought they could solve it with Barrie while replacing Kadri at the same time. It didn’t work. Barrie wasn’t a good fit, and while Kerfoot proved malleable, he was not a full-time center. The Leafs missed Kadri and what could have been a dominant 1-2-3 down the middle with Auston Matthews and John Tavares. — Jonas Siegel
