But really - "here, play top minutes with a revolving door of barely NHL calibre D" then "why don't you excel!?" Gunnarsson goes to STL, he's getting 2nd pairing minutes. Franson goes to Nashville, he's getting 3rd pairing minutes.Once again, as has been an issue with the top line, really good players are being put into situations with other players who aren't at that level and criticized when the results aren't great.
Have you been Dion Phaneuf's defensive partner? Cool. You're gone! Beauchemin, Schenn, Aulie (?), Gunnarsson, Kostka, Franson, Holzer.— Steve “Dangle” Glynn (@Steve_Dangle) March 2, 2015

The #leafs acquire Eric Brewer and a fifth-rounder from #NHLDucks for Korbinian Holzer. Trade call pending.— Chris Johnston (@reporterchris) March 2, 2015

Wow, a 5th for Holzer and to the next 2 months of Brewer's contract? That's actually fantastic.
Who's keeping track, the Leafs have seemed to pick up quite a few draft picks the last little while.

It's a start, but we're going to need to add a lot more in the next couple of years (hopefully starting at 5 he draft).They've added 5 draft picks since the Franson trade. NAS 1st, PIT 4th, ANA 5th, STL 6th in 2015 and PIT 2nd in 2016.
Still only two picks in the top 60, which is disappointing.
