Minten, Robertson, Grebenkin , Jarncrock, Kampf, Liljegren, Niemela & a 1 st Rd pick in 2026, 2027 & 2028 to Pittsburgh for Crosby & Letang. With Pittsburgh eating half of 8.7 million cap hit on Crosby contract & 25 % on Letang contract with caphit of 6.1 million. Of course Pittsburgh can then trade any new acquisition to a Cup contender for prospects & or draft picks.
A 2nd round pick to a third party team to eat half of remaining 4.35 million cap hit on Crosby contract. Leafs are then cap compliant.

* All the bottom 6 capable of moving up in the line up in the event of injuries. Domi or a W. Nylander could also play C, Marner as well could play C though faceoffs would be a challenge for him. Matthews, Crosby & Tavares comparable to any top 3 C's league wide.
Particularly playoff games in many cases decided by power play effectiveness, overall Crosby & Letang improve that for the Leafs regardless of playing on either the 1st or 2nd PP.
