So this is very interesting to me because during Chris Johnston's recent appearance on SDP he mildly scoffed at the idea of Dermott getting traded.

It sounds to me like the current plan is to slot Dermott into Bogosian's slot and have Sandin takeover LD3 full time. Meaning you probably have Menell as the 7th D because he's not waiver exempt and I have to assume he'd get claimed. Also I doubt they're scratching Dermott if they just paid him 1.5x2. As much as Sandin-Menell sounds like a lot of fun.

Menell isn't waiver exempt, but sandin is. Sandin likely won't be on the team unless he outperforms someone in the top 4. Beating out dermott should not be the benchmark to make the team.

Doesn’t a 2 way deal mean he doesn’t have to pass through waivers? Or does it just mean different salaries and waivers has its own rules?
The latter. He just gets paid at a lower salary in the AHL, but if you send him down another team could claim him.

Johnson scoffs at anything that would require Dubas lifting a finger. You couldn't find a bigger Dubas shill if you tried.

he also said the leafs were going to acquire a big name big potential player who didn’t play in the playoffs.

and that Matthews was going to be captain. He isn’t anywhere near infallible

This Menell fellow sound like the Leafs are trying to find this years KHL's version of Mikko Lehtonen.

& recent signing Kirill Semyonov the new Alexander Barabanov.
Except those players didn't have multiple AHL seasons under them...

I’d imagine the waivers risk is moderate with this player and this contract.
He’s got a chance to compete for 6/7.
