A little heavy on the Blues side. I think take Kyrou off and add a second from St Louis.

Arenāt you supposed to aim high with first offers? Not a bad idea. Definitely has value and balance and worst case scenario we get tradable assets.
19 May 2026 14:23:15
No thanks. We need a higher skilled center than Frost.

I was saying I don't do this deal unless you replace Whitecoud with Parekh, otherwise I'm not really interested.
Agree0Disagree0
19 May 2026 22:32:14
They won't let Parekh go. Not that I am that big of a fan of his anyway. But if you put Cole Reschny in there and get rid of Whitecloud and then use the 6th pick for Rudolph I am all in. Not to mention having those back to back picks in second round could put you in line for the Ruck twins.
They are ranked higher but the fact they want to go to the same team bodes well for them dropping to the team that can grab them both. Let's also not overlook Frost. I think he has started to find his confidence and I can see him being a 50-60 point guy on a regular basis.
18 May 2026 22:44:38
Do not take this seriously Iām bored.
Matthew Knies
To Chicago
For
4th overall
Kevin Korchinski
Morgan Reilly
2027 1st (col)
Nick Robertson
2028 3rd
To Van
For Elias Pettersson
Iām completely lost on Petersons value because heās still putting up good numbers but heās making 11 mil. Iād do anything to get it done but this is by far the max Iād give for him.
Sign Alex Tuch
Sign Viktor Arvidsson he had a fantastic year.
Stolarz
Woll
This is a completely revamped defense that will win championships is Korchinski turns into a top guy.
Goaltending is great and center depth is contending with best in the league. Iād hate to lose Knies but if Chicago gives us the option to finally create our young d core you have to take it: rumors are swirling about it too weāll see what happens

Levshunov and the 4th are mandatory if they're getting Knies.
And it just might be worth it.
Agree2Disagree0
18 May 2026 23:17:03
Not trading Knies. Move Nylander before Knies. Also donāt want Petterson, his attitude towards the game is exactly what we are trying to get rid of here. Make an identity and stick to it when they pick up these players is my train if thought and Petterson isnāt part of that identity.

18 May 2026 23:39:13
Yes I would move Free Willy before Knies.
But I like your trades and lineup irregardless.

I think Tuch has lost a couple of $ on his poor playoff performance against the Habs.

19 May 2026 14:32:59
@Mattyboy21
Korshinski stinks.
@FrenUnited
No chance Chicago gives up Levshunov.
I think Leafs get
4OA.
Change Korshinski to Renzel.
Plus add 2026 2nd (Leafs original pick).
18 May 2026 19:35:36
To Toronto
Karlsson $5.9M/1yr
To Vegas
Carlo $3.49M/1yr
2026 2nd
Howden has been playing well at 3C, so this helps out Vegas who will be in a cap crunch next season.
Plus they get a top 4RHD and save about $2.5M cap space.
Leafs get a fast, defensive 3C, who is grest on the PK (he can even play 2C IMO).
Thoughts?

Orā¦. Leafs sign Laughton and give up zero assets:
Agree0Disagree0
19 May 2026 12:22:57
You can also pick up Laughton and play him 3LW. I think Karlsson is a much better centre and Laughton is way better on the wing.
Now we have 2/3 of a solid defensive 3rd line that can also create some secondary scoring.
Seattle is looking for top 6 scoring and a top 4 RHD.
Toronto can take on a project, who is think has tons of potential.
Thoughts?

Wright has age to believe there's still upside.
Carlo's a fringe 2nd pair, and Macelli's only a top 6 on a bad team.
Watching these playoffs has really hammered home how poor the Leafs roster is.
Agree2Disagree0
18 May 2026 18:09:53
This might need a 3rd to finish crossing the line. But I don't mind it for a RW.
Agree0Disagree0
18 May 2026 21:47:22
I think Wright's value is way higher than that. Iām not sure why people are already writing him off. Heās 22 and heās shown he can really play both sides. I think any trade with him starts with the Colorado first.
Agree2Disagree0
19 May 2026 12:52:34
From my perspective Maccelli and Carlo are enough to pry Wright loose.
There were reasons three NHL teams bypassed him at #1.
He was a great junior player but still only making his way in the NHL.
18 May 2026 15:54:34
I did not realize until today that the State of Washington passed a new Millionaires tax on March 30th of this year, which takes effect January 1, 2028.
This is something to take into account when looking at any trades involving Seattle. Initially, it looked like that might be a team players would get traded to and increase their take home pay with the No State Tax. But now it means any athlete that goes there will be paying $99,000 extra per $1,000,000 after the initial first $1,000,000.
Starting Jan. 1, 2028.
That is a factor that any player with a no trade will now be taking into account. Not to mention, Seattle will be careful on their contracts in the next few years with younger players when they hit RFA as even though the cap will go up again in the 2027-2028 season. They will need to save cap room if they want to try to get free agents or players at the deadlines going forward. This could be a huge game changer to the way they will do business.

Unrealā¦. And Gary Bettman will look us in the eye and tell us that teams like Florida and Tampa donāt have an advantage. Tampa is about to sign Raddysh for 6 mil when heād get 9 in Toronto š

18 May 2026 20:47:19
Iām sure if Toronto had the tax advantages you wouldnāt be commenting mattyboy.
The economic benefits are what they are
Maybe if we had a decent team players would come here irregardless of the tax situation
Winning is incentive
Having a jackass like Treliving and his army of assistants gmās in charge didnāt help
Letās see what wonder boy Johnny can do

18 May 2026 22:38:07
Exactly. It was not the NHL that passed the High income Tax in Washington as it is something that was needed in that state for a while. However... when the NHL brought in the Salary Cap it was to prevent the rich teams just throwing money around to outbid every team with their wealth to get the best players. (Never worked in Toronto because or terrible management doing the signings.) But with some teams not having State Tax and other States having lower taxes and with the Canadian Provinces having hight taxes.
A true equitable Salary cap would be one that calculates in each year the Take home pay percentage to put each team in the league on a level playing field. So if your Tax is lower your Salary cap is lower but the same percentage of a team that has a higher tax. Only fair way of doing it in my opinion.
Agree1Disagree0
19 May 2026 11:38:37
Lots of reasons to not sign in Toronto. But the income tax thing is a real problem that the NHL should address as many teams (in both countries) have a disadvantage compared to teams in tax free states.

Ok, I have to tell Golftown that āirregardlessā is frowned upon in the English language. It is a double-negative!
Using it once was okay but all the time is just bad.
Irrespective or regardless will suffice.
Sorry but my Mother always said people will listen and read your stuff with better grammar.

19 May 2026 22:18:50
I'm just saying it needs to change to even this up. The stats don't lie. The last 9 Stanley Cup Finals..... 5 were won by teams from Tax Free States. 10 of the teams in the finals in those 9 years were from Tax Free states.
And 2 times in those 9 years 2 teams from tax free states faced each other in the finals. That is scary when you are talkng about a 32 team league.

So my question woukd be ā¦. Why would Matthewās waive his no trade to go to Chicago if Bedard was gone and so was Chicagoās first round pick this year. He would be going to a worse situation than he was leaving. Makes no sense at all.

The best laughable part in this trade is giving Bedard more value than Matthews. Like u said this trade was a joke not serious at all. Good one.
