No, even for the Leafs, it's a bad fit. Regardless of your cap situation, you need to make the most efficient use of the dollars you're spending. A $3M overpayment on any player is a bad fit for everyone.
I like the idea of getting a top D without giving up assets, but it's pretty safe to say you'd be paying the guy big money for his past history, not upcoming potential play. This is a New York Rangers kind of deal that I'd prefer the leafs stay out of.
