I’m hoping Chayka finds trade partners for Reilly, Maccelli, Robertson, Joshua and Lorentz.

I’m okay with not winning any trade, just want some cap space to get a couple of solid UFAs and plug a few holes.

Reilly to SJS for either F. Bystedt or Carson Wetsch plus R4 2027.

Maccelli and Robertson to NJD for Dawson Mercer.

Dakota Joshua to WJ for R5 2027.

Lorentz to CA for R4 2027.

Jenner
Marchment
AJ Greer
And No Bobrovsky!

29 Jun 2026 11:43:30
I would not be disappointed with any of that.
But we also need at least one more Dman.

29 Jun 2026 12:44:02
Toronto will not do any of this, just look back at the players they have traded to bring in dead wood. There are more Leafs players on other teams than all of the NHL combined.

Toronto will not pull the trigger because they do not care if they win the CUP, they fill the arena anyway and this will not stop until people demand more. The blow jays are in the same boat.

28 Jun 2026 17:47:56
Absolutely love Knies!
But, if Wenenski is willing to come here than it’s a no brainer! Have to go after generational talent when it’s available! My problem is facilitating trade without giving up Cowan!?
Col-Knies, Danford, 2027 1st, rights to Villeneuve, and a 2028 2nd
But probably gonna have to be Cowan too! (take out V & 2nd)
Thoughts?

28 Jun 2026 18:19:12
Werenski is a generational talent? Since when? After the best year of his life? He’s very good. Full stop

28 Jun 2026 19:23:15
Generational is a stretch.

I have three concerns about this. Listed least to most concerning.

1- They get Werenski and win the cup and him and Matthews hold each other's hand as they walk across the boarder mission accomplished.

2- Same as number one without the cup.

3- Through a GM's lens years down the road,
They have success, reach the final, decide to stay, and based on what was offered as of today for J.

Robertson I could see Matthews and Werenski want 6-7x 20 million to extend, and we’d also need a new contract for Cowen, Hildeby, and soon after Mckenna along with Danford. In that time frame it makes me get the feeling we’d be headed in a core four type scenario again, with Matthews and Werenski reaching their mid to late 30’s. It scares the crap out of me and if we don’t win the cup it’s a broken record again.

28 Jun 2026 20:50:23
So let's see... As I determined your last thought it would be Knies, Danford, Cowan and a 1st. You are giving up a !st (I am assuming the Colorado one, which even late is still a 1st. You are giving up 3 players who at the end of Werenski's contract would still be under contract with us and Danford and Cowan would be blossoming at that point.

And... we get Werenski but lose Knies, and Cowan. What is your next plan for replacing the offence and the Future? I also think if Werenski and his agent saw what was going out from the Leafs to get him, he says no.

28 Jun 2026 21:24:26
Ya too much for one guy that may walk.

28 Jun 2026 17:30:45
STL: Rielly Robertson 2nd

TOR: McMichael

28 Jun 2026 13:03:41
I suspect many are still hoping the Leafs can offload Reilly’s contract and allow Chayka to go big-game hunting for a UFA Dman, say Rasmus Andersson.

Just getting rid of Reilly is addition by subtraction.

SJS still needs a veteran Dman and they appear to be on Reill’s trade list so they’re my target.

I’d really like Filip Bystedt.

These two moves get us in the playoffs again and allow us to be a top level team.

I also think a couple more strategic UFA signings and trades makes us a SC contender.

28 Jun 2026 17:09:24
Rielly has zero value otherwise he’d be gone by now unless Leafs retain 50 percent

All for Andersson to round out the D.

29 Jun 2026 11:47:39
LukeFox or whoever you are!

Think you’re wrong on zero value for Reilly, though I don’t know if you’re speaking literally or figuratively.

Carlo just got two R3 picks and there will be many teams interested in Reilly’s veteran experience and offence, diminished or not!

28 Jun 2026 05:52:45
To Toronto
Hayton RFA

To Utah
Robertson RFA
2027 4th

Leafs need a defensively responsible 3C & Utah could use some more goal scoring.
I would rather try for someone younger like Hayton as opposed to FA Jenner.

Thoughts?

28 Jun 2026 09:52:33
I think JT is our 3C. He’s great defensively and his faceoff percentage is near the top of the league.

28 Jun 2026 10:43:23
What would it take to get Durzi in that deal? Just Reilly? Maybe add a Quillan or mid draft pick?

Sign FA’s: Stanley, E. Kane, V. Arvidsson, AJ Greer.

Knies Matthews McKenna
Arvidsson JT Nylander
Cowan Hayton Kane
Joshua Shaw Greer

McCabe Raddysh
OEL Durzi
Stanley Tanev

28 Jun 2026 11:35:48
JT is great defensively?
Please stop…

28 Jun 2026 12:41:33
I’d do the trade but Imo Tavares is still 2C in this lineup.
Hayton will need to earn it but hasn’t yet done so.

28 Jun 2026 13:43:15
I like Hayton as a swap for Robertson.

28 Jun 2026 15:14:53
@LeafsGM78
Tavares is horrible defensively, but still does have enough offensive pop to play 2C for one more season. I don't see a good 2C fit without giving up higher roster players or higher prospects, so Tavares plays 2C this year IMO.

@Clarky17
I have no desire for Stanley or E. Kane, but I do like Arvidsson and Greer.
If Chayka can come up with a package to include Durzi as well, then all the power to him. As for me, I don't want to touch Cowan or Danford.

@LukeFox
100% agree, Tavares is horrible defensively.

@RandySeara
Yes, Tavares still plays 2C, and we play Hayton at 3C to form some form of shutdown line and take those match ups away from Matthews.

@Torontobuds
Hope Chayka can make this happen. It would be nice to get a 26 year old defensive 3C, who has shown some sort of offensive pop as well.

28 Jun 2026 15:25:00
Get realistic as Hayton has higher value than Robertson and Reilly for Durzi? Utah would laugh their asses off! Reilly is not considered by any team right now to be of high value!
That’s why Chayka has not traded him! Leafs have over 22 million in cap space since Carlo has been traded.


They will take a serious run at Rasmus Andersson. Then they will take a run at Werenski. Knies will be part of it as long as Werenski agrees to sign an extension next year when eligible. Werenski and Matthews are good buddies.

28 Jun 2026 17:49:54
@Tags this team needs some toughness. If we don’t get an equivalent of Stanley or Kane we will be bullied all year. Like said on here many times, need tough Gius and the stars play better. Matthews had 60 goals while Reaves was in the lineup.

28 Jun 2026 21:15:00
@Realistic GM ...And how do they go about doing this Werenski deal where they have a guarantee he agrees to sign an extension when eligible?
