Dick measuring aside, good trade for both teams.
Devils are getting a decent (if vanilla) forward with the ability to play with better players. In the right situation no one should pre-surprised if he has a 50+ point season, or flirts with 30 goals.
The Leafs move his entire cap hit, and pretty close to full value in a solid prospect that is likely NHL ready and fits their needs to a T. Frankly after the Murray/Nutivaara trades and Johnson waivers I was worried we'd have to give him away, but Anderson is a nice get.
