If leafs come out of Olympic break and the players that r being rumoured in trades keep playing well. There is a very good chance leafs fetch multiple 1st picks for them. If that is true then leafs brass needs to entertain all of them and stock the shelves. The 6games b4 the deadline will determine if they will be able to. Carlo, OEL, Mcmann, and dare I say Laughton.
To Tor
1st rd 2027
2nd (blues) 2027
Gudas (exp contract)

I previously had trade with Mcmann going to LAK for another 1st and prospect. With the Fiala injury makes a perfect replacement there. There’s your four 1st rd picks. Then u do what u want with other players like Jarnkrok, Domi, Joshua, Benoit.

To Tor
1st 2026
Wright
To LA
Mcmann
After Fiala out perfect replacement. They know they will be in for a bidding war so hence the 1st and a good prospect.
14 Feb 2026 04:48:28
Would you consider:
To Minny: Matthews
To Tor: Faber, Ek OR Hartman.
14 Feb 2026 09:30:04
No because you just fixed one problem and created another the leafs need to draft there own Faber that’s the only way to get your hands on a top dman.
14 Feb 2026 16:51:21
2nd move would be
Nylander and Reilly to ANH
4
McTavish, Sennecke, Helleson.
14 Feb 2026 17:28:27
Swap out mctavish for either Carlson or Gauthier and I’m sold don’t like mctavish.
14 Feb 2026 17:41:37
Your first trade not a chance I’m giving ninny Matthews for that weak two players. You joking Clarky?
13 Feb 2026 23:59:05
With Kevin Fiala Suffering possibly a season ending injury against Canada today does anyone think the leafs phone might be ringing in regards to a Bobby McMann deal? Left Winger goes down. L. A says "We hear through the grapevine you have a Left Winger you have been shopping around the league, and you don't have a 1st round pick this year. Well it just so happens. ".
14 Feb 2026 17:29:10
If a first is on the table I definitely trade Mcmann there.
13 Feb 2026 02:33:52
Would you consider this?
To Pitts: Reilly, Robertson, 3rd rd pick?
To Tor: Karlsson (10M, 2.5M retained =7.5M x2 years), Brazeau @ 1.5MX 2
Or am I way off here?
13 Feb 2026 10:07:09
Too old . picks and prospects to restock the cupboards.
13 Feb 2026 19:01:36
Way off. It’s a retool don’t need or want karlsson.
13 Feb 2026 20:28:16
I Like Brazeau, But Karlsson is needed in Pittsburgh with Letang slowing down, even with his hefty contract. Dubas has always liked both Robertson and Reilly though.
How does this one sound. We trade them Reilly and retain $2.5 and Robertson as well as Mcmann who might sign with the GM who signed him as a undrafted player and gave him his start in the NHL as well as our 3rd round pick this year. In return we get Pittsburghs 1st in 2026, Brazeau who is a big serviceable player and Harrison Brunicke who is going to be a stud on Defence.
We get a great prospect who didn't look out of place in games in Pittsburgh or in the AHL and is Looking fantastic in Kamloops. He was a shotblocking and hitting machine at the WJC's this year. The only reason he is back in Junior is to get major minutes and Kamloops has a good shot of going far in the Playoffs.
13 Feb 2026 21:11:49
Sorry I meant to add that with Sid being in Pittsburgh and with Robertson going there it allows Pittsburgh to make a crazy offer to Jason Robertson as a UFA. They have the draft picks to make it happen whether it is just under the 11,700,192 or over the 11,700,183 and they will also have the cap space to do it. Maybe Dallas works out a deal with Pittsburgh before the deadline on that front. Or somehow a 3 way with Leafs, Dallas and Pittsburgh could be worked on.
13 Feb 2026 21:20:36
I’d do this Karlsson for the same price as Reilly for less term I’m in.
13 Feb 2026 23:05:08
Yes Leafs GM me too. We only have him on books for 2 more seasons at 7.5M where as Reilly would be 4 more. I’d rather a 40 year old Karlsson over a 30-31 year old Reilly plus getting Brazeau? I’d be taking it plus it helps get our PP puck moving D until we develop one of our own.
13 Feb 2026 23:07:36
@suffering stop suggesting trading McMann to me. It’s dumb, we will not get back a player of his value and a late 1st is not worth Bobby McMann. If it’s a retool, Bobby stays. If you’re rebuilding from bottom up then yes go get a 1st for him but they are not doing that. So don’t just move good players just for the sake of getting draft capital back.
14 Feb 2026 04:19:22
Who said I was trading McMann for just the mid 1st round pick Clarky? He is for the 1st and the key to the deal to get Brunicke. A younger version of Chris Tanev with his shot blocking but also a very mobile defenceman. At 36 years of age Tanev if he does the groiin surgery may not play again for the leafs anyway we need to stock the cupboard now. Robertson is straight up for Brazeau and Reilly and eating 2.5 of his contract is just a added player to entice the full deal. And to open up cap room for the leafs.
I jcan see Pittsburgh adding Reilly because they need veteran depth on D but not if they have to give up Karlsson who actually is playing the best 2 way hockey he has played in his career. They would certainly want Toronto to eat part of Reillys contract. For them to give up their Power play quaterback and you to ask them to eat part of Karlsson's contract doesn't make sense for them to do.
P. S didn't you suggest trading Nylander and Matthews and others in a massive deal I did call you dumb? No I said the returns looked decent other than swapping a few pieces. Im just playing Devils advocate on this one. It has to make sense for both teams.
Depending on if they make the playoffs or don't that First round pick can be used for both a retool (Trading it and a player for a better player in the off season. ) or a rebuild by using the pick or Trading it and a player to move up the Draft board.
I think if they could land Brunicke that at least 2 of him and Danford and Chadwick will be stalwarts with the leafs and possibly all 3. I have never said McMann is a bad player but he is a good trade piece given the free agency thing. Plus I think Holinka is going to be a pleasant surprise for fans and open eyes at Training Camp
.
14 Feb 2026 16:54:34
Not true Suffering I used the word dumb when you said you were retooling and then go on to trade McMann. If we are rebuilding and Moving Matthews and Nylander I’d be ok with trading Bobby for a 1st.
14 Feb 2026 17:32:49
I never said retool at all. regarding this post.
11 Feb 2026 20:15:11
Tor: stolarz, Cowan, benoit
Utah: shmaltz, tij Iginla.
11 Feb 2026 21:08:12
OMG! I need to call 911. I think I broke a couple of ribs because I was laughing so hard at this one. lol
Why in the world would a team that is in a playoff hunt trade their top centerman for a backup goalie and number 7 defenseman and basically do a swap of comparable prospects. That's basically asking Utah to tank so we can walk into their wildcard spot. Hey if Utah wants to do this deal I'd be all in but I don't expect the phone to ring anytime soon.
12 Feb 2026 11:44:24
Isn’t that top Center a UFA this summer?
12 Feb 2026 12:27:19
Yes he is but it sounds like he wants to resign. If they don't want to sign him they would not trade him before the deadline while they are in a playoff position. If they trade his rights before July 1 on a trade and sign deal then hey I would do that deal as Toronto but right now it won't happen. Utah has a good thing going and if you traded your number 1 center and fell out of the playoffs because of it that would not enhance your season ticket sales for next year at all.
12 Feb 2026 19:55:09
To add to my last response. If they were to let him go for a trade and sign after the season they would have to then make a major free agent signing or a major trade deal. They are struggling for attendance. Yes they have a lot of obstructed views which limits sales to 12,000 but even with renovations they will still be one of the lower seating capacities in the league.
Plus the owners in the league are already showing concern that even with Technically sold out games, the Sunday and midweek games have huge empty seats in the lower bowl. They need to make the playoffs and make them consistently or this cursed Phoenix team could be moving once again at some point. Utah may not be the hotbed they had hoped for in regards to Hockey. A good exciting team should fill the arena no matter the day of the week the game is played.
13 Feb 2026 16:21:54
Tij iginla alone gets more than the leafs offer here lol.
11 Feb 2026 00:00:58
I think I kind of like this trade even though it’s tough to give up a goalie.
To Phi: Woll, Maccelli
To Tor: Tippett, Hathaway
Maybe someone adds a draft pick here. But would you make this deal?
11 Feb 2026 01:19:00
Hate to sacrifice Woll but Tippett is a right wing which would fill a glaring hole in the Leafs lineup. Hathaway brings a lunch bucket full of grit.
Get it done.
11 Feb 2026 01:45:49
I'm keeping Woll and Hildebeast. Stolarz can get punted. I like Stolarz well enough, Woll and Hildeby are just homegrown talent in net at the right age and price.
11 Feb 2026 11:50:51
Hey Clarky! I would do Macelli and a pick in 2027 for Tippett. I wouldn't do Joseph Woll in there only because even though he has no assists this year he is still only 2 points behind Hathaway and could still catch him lol lol lol. In fact after watching Hathaway get his pocket picked on a empty net chance I think Joe Woll might stand a better chance of scoring into the empty net from his own crease :o)
11 Feb 2026 21:59:00
Good debate guy but I think Stolarz has more potential than Woll and not sure Stolarz fits the Flyers time frame.
@Suffering, you ain’t getting Hathaway for goal scoring. Personally I don’t care if Woll scores more. This team needs a presence out there that is willing to drop the gloves to change the tide of the game. We don’t have that in a very tough division. Plus he helps on PK too and would be an asset if we ever got back to playoffs.
12 Feb 2026 01:06:28
Clarky. If you want a player with grit and lays big hits and is not afraid to take on any of the big boys despite usually being smaller than most he fights (He has fought Olivier, Tom Wilson, Xhekaj, Kolesr, Brenbdan Dillon and it goes on and on) and can still chip in on some points . Look to the Rangers and try and get Sam Carrick. Same age (34) as Hathaway and way more affordable. Hathaway is $2.400,000 as opposed to Carrick at $1,000,000
As far as Stolarz and Woll. You said Stolarz has more potential than Woll. He is 32 already so that potential I think was at its peak in the last couple of years. Curious what you mean that he doesn't fit the flyers timeframe?
12 Feb 2026 22:52:28
I’ve put many trades up here for Sam Carrick, he is another piece for sure.
@Woll and Stolarz, yes he is 32 but has potential to be one of the best goalies in the show when healthy and on his game. You Hildebeast learning from a guy his size and AA is not far off either. Plus if I’m Philly who is still in a rebuild I’d want Woll for Tippett due to his age.
11 Feb 2026 00:40:48
Saw this mock trade in an article thought I’d share
Tor: Reilly 4th 2027
Sjs: Ferraro 2nd 2028
Who says no?
11 Feb 2026 00:02:22
I like it but it’s 1 for 1 if not I think we add the higher draft pick here. Love to have Ferraro though.
11 Feb 2026 02:40:35
I would think that if San Jose is willing to take Rielly at $7.5 for four (4) more years after this year then a 2nd for a sweetener sounds about right.
Ferrari is a UFA July 1st.
He would be an upgrade over Benoit but could the Leafs afford to resign him.
Of course, should Leafs trade OEL then they would have the cap space to make Ferraro a fair offer.
11 Feb 2026 11:52:06
I like it and would love to see Ferraro in a Leaf Uniform but I think because San Jose only has 2 guys under contract on their Defense for next year they will re-sign Ferraro. He is a good defenseman and has played his whole career there and is a assistant captain and he is only 27 so with the young team he is still young enough but also old enough to be a good team leader.
I would be open if the leafs can land a 2nd round pick for one of the extra bodys they are trying to clear out, of sending Reilly and that 2nd pick as a favour to San Jose just to literally take Reilly and his contract to give us some financial ammunition once Free Agency hits.
10 Feb 2026 22:44:52
My first trade on Feb 25th:
To Det: Reilly 7.5M
To Tor: Gustavsson 2M expiring contract. + 2nd 2026.
11 Feb 2026 02:42:46
I’m not sure I understand why Detroit would take Rielly at $7.5 x 4 more years PLUS give the Leafs a 2nd?
Shouldn’t the sweetener be going to Detroit?
11 Feb 2026 13:22:07
Any trades with Detroit need to return Cossa. After you’ve moved Stolarz to Habs.
08 Feb 2026 16:28:25
Tor: jarnkrok, 6th
MTL: Laine, 2nd
Leafs get paid to take on laine's full contract. Moving jarnkrok helps make it happen while also keeping it available for Joshua to come back from injury without issue. Montreal gets cap space for a bigger deal.
08 Feb 2026 17:17:35
Makes zero sense for Toronto. Trying to create cap space not add a horrible contract.
08 Feb 2026 17:54:59
The most the NHL allows for a team to absorb on a contract when trading the player to another team is 50%. So with Montreal still on the hook for 50% and then taking on Jarnkroks contract there really is not a lot of cap space for that bigger deal. Both players are free agents at end of year. I am sure the leafs would do this deal as their really is no risk to them. If Laine lights it up its a bonus but no obligation to sign him. And who wouldn't want to trade a 6th round pick to get a second. I don't see it as something Montreal would benefit from.
09 Feb 2026 00:20:48
I didn't say anything about retention. Now Laine might be a horrible contract, but, he's still talented with size right handed. Montreal would get 6.6m in cap while the Leafs have sucked this year. Would get a second.
Who knows. Would you consider Laine if he was signed for 3.5x3?
09 Feb 2026 12:56:45
@ Hrenkin Im confused . you said you didn't say anything about retention. But you also said the leafs would get paidto take on Laine's full contract. How does that work?
09 Feb 2026 15:40:30
They can fit the whole 8.7m cap hit. They just send jarnkrok back with a 7th, to get a 2nd.
Now leafs have a high skill right winger, and can see how well he does. Maybe it worth resigning him at a lower rate, but leafs now have a 2nd, and moved out a player. Who isn't resigning.
09 Feb 2026 16:02:23
I took was looking at this as an advantage it would have to come with retention but laine is an expiring deal so for the leafs you take on a cap dump who can put the puck in the net along with a pick something like laine and a 2nd for Benoit but only way it works is if either tanev is done and or they move a domi/ maccelli it’s leveraging cap space to get an asset.
09 Feb 2026 16:25:03
Leafs can’t fit his cap space without retention. They have as of now $3.2m. Jarnkrok $2.1m Laine $8.7m, fo the math it doesn’t work. Move on.
09 Feb 2026 20:30:46
Are you including ltir relief? We have more moved to make and 2 weeks after the Olympic break to fiulgure it out. I would expect a formal update from the Leafs on the 23rd or 24th on the injury situation. We still have a couple. peices to move out yes. But this can be done without retention.
09 Feb 2026 22:50:18
lol
Good one hrenklin
Give it up already.
09 Feb 2026 23:24:47
Im still confused though. YOu said the leafs get paid to take on his whole contract. But now you are saying they have the money to cover it. So they are actually not getting paid to take it on.
10 Feb 2026 12:23:18
Seriously Hrenkin, Laine? But why am I surprised.
10 Feb 2026 13:31:29
Yes that’s including LTIR move on this is a ridiculous trade post.
10 Feb 2026 21:07:51
I’d do it who was selected after Matthews that draft year?
07 Feb 2026 18:52:49
So here is one to Ponder.
Tampa Bay -Bobby McMann
Leafs- Sam O-reilly
Only if the leafs are not going to sign Bobby McMann (Which I have no objection to by the way. )
Apparently Tampa Bay is looking for a major add on for depth on their 3rd line for scoring and physicality. They are tight on salary cap and don't have a first round pick again until 2028 so they are shopping the only real asset they have and that is Sam O'Reilly. Bobby Mcmann suits their need in salary and scoring and physicality and is capable of a very good winger on their 3rd line and in case of a rash of injuries which they have now sliding up to the 2nd line. I straight up Mcmann for O'reilly would be a good deal for both teams. It also gives the Leafs a chance to reunite O'reilly with Cowan as they were dynamite in Junior on London.
09 Feb 2026 03:41:25
Retain half of McMann’s salary to make it easier for the Lightning to to say yes!
09 Feb 2026 22:52:03
I agree with water buff
Makes it so leafs gm.
