Leafs Trade Rumors

Matthews trade scenario but I don’t think he’s going anywhere. But will happen in offseason.
To Tor
Johnson
Robertson rfa rights
1st 2027
2nd 2026
To Dal
Matthews
Cowan

The way I’m thinking is if Robertson signs a offer sheet which is very possible it will be over the $9.36mil cause he wants more than that, which activates 2 1st rd picks and 2nd and 3rd as comp. Now you’ve turned this trade into 3 1st 2 2nd and a 3rd. Plus u got Johnson. I know u give up Cowan in the deal with Matthews but comp seems well worth it.

tor: robertson, carlo, holinka

stl: faulk (1m retianed)

trying to make a fair trade with minimal assets sucks. but, we turn carlo into the dmen we hoped carlo would be. hes a natural RHD, defensive but offensive at the same time. id prefer getting parayko from st luois, but, hes much more costly.

st luois gets some retool peices that arent our bet, but arent terrible.

Faulk nixed a trade didn't he? Ssid he wouldn't leave if I recall.

If his trade protection expired then maybe, but he isn't high on my list anyway.

What the heck is the trade Faulk hasn’t been great since he left Carolina and you wanna give up Robertson Carlo and holinka that’s insane.

02 Jan 2026 18:04:30
I like to wait and see when Carlo comes back how he plays b4 deciding to get rid of him. Too much for Faulk.

@LL - he currently has a 15 team NTC

@goat + fault is a well rounded dman. He's 10g 10a in 40g. Doesn't have much of an injury history. He's a solid top 4 the that compliments more offensive minded dmen. He's got a great first pass out of the zone. You should watch more teams regularly instead of just when they play the leafs.

Why would Dallas make such a terrible trade.
So one sided favoring the Leafs.

02 Jan 2026 16:51:28
Well one sided it may look now but! From what I’ve seen as of late from AM I’m not sure. Matthews is starting to appear healthy and dangerous again. 4 pts last night against Winnipeg! So, I’m NOT saying plan the parade or now keep him bc I still believe he’ll leave after his contract expires but if he keeps this up his trade value will skyrocket! Thank you 34! Nice parting gift to the fans!

Matthews catching fire and looked really good against a tough jets team that came to play last night. His value is going up as is all the leafs roster. I wouldn’t be making any moves until deadline. Matthews would be offseason regardless.

Tor: macelli
Edm: mangiapane 800k retained.

You know what would be nice is some original thought on these posts if I want to see proposed trades by reporters or analyst I’ll read them in the articles they write. I come here to read thinking outside the box but keep getting the same 💩 I read in articles. Then told my posts are ridiculous cause I don’t follow the analyst or reporters outlooks or predictions.

30 Dec 2025 17:52:44
I have no issue with someone posting a deal they saw somewhere else. I would prefer they note it is something they saw, but why does it matter where they got the idea?
Some of your trades blowhard are just slight retools of what other people on here have already posted. Nor are people saying your posts are ridiculous because they don't follow analysts or reporters. They say they are ridiculous because they all heavily favour the Leafs because you don't put much value on other teams players.

Take your Utah trade you listed.
Guenther (9 OA pick) is a 22 year old on pace for 35 goals and 65 points. Close to what Matthews had as a 21 year old (37/ 73). Guenther had 27/ 33 for 60 as a 21 year old. That's not a massive difference.
Crouse-Big, physical 30-40 pt two way vet forward
Iginla- (6 OA pick)19 year old on a 100 pt pace in junior. Looks like a top 6 forward in the making.
Lamoureux- (29 OA pick)21 year old 6'7" good skating right shot D who has already played some in the NHL. Top 4 D trending.
2026 1st

What does Utah get. Matthews, (who at the moment) is not a top 5 player in the world anymore. He's on pace for just over 30 goals and 60 points. Less than last year. Makes $13.25M. You add Robertson for value. On pace for 17 goals and 35 points. Guenther and Crouse alone may equal Robertson's and Matthews production this year. And Utah is supposed to add Iginla, Lamoureux and another 1st. When Matthews was scoring 50+, that would still be a decent haul. He hasn't done that in 2 seasons now.

Funny, I have young kids and don't really pay attention to outside posts just check this site once or twice a day. Pretty sure my last post was a Matthews to phili for 2 1sts Drysdale and grebenkin and got told to make more realistic trades, so what can ya do.

31 Dec 2025 00:04:55
Lol
Blowhard your trade posts are hilarious because anyone who follows hockey knows what you are posting is lunacy.

31 Dec 2025 13:40:33
Ok so you are saying guenther is going to lead the league in goals scored from now until age 28? Cause that’s what Matthews has done. FYI Matthews is averaging the same points per game as guenther at this moment. Crouse has less points then Robertson and is 4yrs older with dbl the cap hit with no RFA rights he’s a FA. These things are all factors in my trade. U take one of iginla or lamaureux out but not the picks and guenther and Crouse definitely not.

Inhale deeply, exhale extremely loudly.

Blowhard24, your posts often don’t follow reason!

30 Dec 2025 13:38:23
To tor
1st 2026
1st 2027
Wright
Obrien
Beniers

To Sea
Matthews
Robertson

Kraken 2pts out of wild card spot with games in hand on both teams occupying those spots. Also has multiple 1st rd picks in each year. Non tax state for fashion boy keeps more money.

30 Dec 2025 17:10:27
SEA doesn't make this trade because it simply guts them down the middle by trading two centres who are both young. So they don't move both Beniers and Wright.

If you can get Wright, O'Brien, and 2 1st round picks for Matthews and Roberston, you probably want to make this deal if you're TOR. I still don't know if SEA wants to do it, as they have a lot of youth and should probably just wait another year to see what they have.

30 Dec 2025 17:59:06
Because Beniers and Wright have never really taken off yet and became top point producers, if O'Brien was removed, this may be close.

30 Dec 2025 18:30:12
@RLF

Yeah, if one of those three SEA players is removed from the proposal, then it may be close.

For SEA, since O'Brien isn't quite NHL ready, and since Matthews is a Centre and the deal shifts them to 'win-now', doesn't parting with O'Brien in the deal, and also one of SEA's young centers make more sense than sending both center out?

I also wonder if Robertson's truly necessary in this hyptothical. If Chinakhov could fetch a 2nd and 3rd yesterday, then Robertson should be able to get the Leafs something very similar, no?

31 Dec 2025 00:05:37
French. Depends on their projection of O'Brien compared to Beniers and Wright. If they see O'Brien as a true top 6 centre, then moving the other 2 would make sense.

31 Dec 2025 13:30:56
I would want obrien over wright if I was leafs. Beniers there more for cap reasons and an immediate replacement for Matthews.

01 Jan 2026 01:23:23
If O’Brien is taken out TML should NOT make the trade.
You guys have all lost faith in Matthews.

02 Jan 2026 17:06:19
@FrensU Chinakov got a 2nd and 3rd Round picks crazy. It is market value tho I guess but! If Nicky Bobby keeps playing the way he is trending he will get a larger return I think and tbh other than the size difference between Chin and Robby I think NR is looking like a better player in general. More of what and why the Leafs have kept him around to develop into, while also maximizing their return. Cause he isn’t in the long term future I don’t believe.
