Well 3-0 NJ on this back 2 back weekend we’re screwed boys! So, we ready to look at trading off this core yet? We’d get a boatload for Matthews and would do ok for Nylander as well. We’ve already got Cowboy, McKenna, Danford, Koblar as our Beleki etc in the system ready now but I think we could turn things around similar to Montreal or like Boston did would be nice but I think they had a better set up prior but my point is this leadership group is going no where. I also think Hiller is gone very soon! Thoughts?

09 Nov 2026 02:15:26 Hiller won't be fired he was just hired.
Not a big fan of Hiller either, but it isn't his fault they run out an QMJHL D-corps every night. Rielly has been better to start the season, but he's still not a solution, Raddysh is in so far over his head I feel bad for the guy, OEL has clearly hit a wall at his age, Tanev is never healthy and McCabe clearly lost a step.
The offense really misses having a couple D that can at least get the puck up ice instead of getting hemmed night after night.
08 Nov 2026 17:01:16 I’m gonna say the quiet part out loud about Bob. He only looked good with top end defensive systems in front of him….
The years the Panthers went to the Cups those teams had three Selke calibre players minimum then add guys like Mikola and Forsling last year the Panthers were missing a lot of those guys and they stunk. I think it’s really that simple… the Leafs got scammed and now they are to scared to play the guy that has kept them alive this year….
This smells like a situation where Chayka will make a panic move and move a young guy like Cowan for a Carlo type player.

To Tor
Miroshnichenko
To Wash
Koblar
Wood
2nd rd 2027
To Tor
Andrae
To Columbus
Blankenburg
6th rd 2027
Bring in 2 young guys. Top 20 pick and his name ends in Chenko. Could start the Chenko line if we find one more. Andrae doesn't fit the Bowness system but would be a welcomed return to the leafs. Blankenburg not working out here so include him in package with a pick. Small moves with big future upside. I know it's costing u a top prospect in koblar but Chenko can contribute now.

05 Nov 2026 12:23:04 Seems like a decent package for Chenko. Andrae is on waivers. Can get him for nothing if they want him back. Leafs have 1 contract spot left. I don't really see the Andrae appeal. I'm pretty sure he wasn't the make or break part of the deal with Columbus. He was a contract spot dump by the Leafs most likely.
Agree0Disagree0
05 Nov 2026 14:07:35 @RLF Leafs don't have enough space to pickup Andrae off waivers due to the tagging rule. I believe Leafs have around $648K next year, so Andrae's $1.55M AAV is too high. That was a reason why Andrae was added to the Knies/Marchenko trade.
Agree0Disagree0
05 Nov 2026 14:35:41 Tags, Yea, I got he was also a cap dump in the Marchenko trade, but I thought the tagging limit was this season ($104M) + 10% equaling $114.4. Leafs have about $111M dedicated to next year, so I thought it would fit. I didn't realize they also calculate AHL one way contracts. So, even if they send Blankenburg back to Columbus it wouldn't matter because he is not signed through next season? Correct? Yet, if they move Wood, they would have just under $3.2 to add a player with term? Correct? Thanks for the info and responding to a post that isn't about Nylander. lol

@RLF 😆
I will add my 2 cents every 9nce in a while, but I generally agree with you guys so figured it wasn't needed. Especially on the Knies/Marchenko trade debate you guys have had.
It definitely would be nice if Chayka can trade Wood's $2.5M contract and remove it from the books. Apparently he was trying to trade him pretty much after the Knies/Marchenko trade was made.
Agree0Disagree0
06 Nov 2026 12:12:58
@RLF
Yes you are correct on both points. Blankenburg does not impact next year for tagging rules, but Wood does.
From what I can tell, the AHL one-way contracts for next year belong to:
Henrik Rybinski $875,000
Cole Ward $875,000
AA $900,000
So, $111.1M + $2.65M = $113.75M
Then $114.4 (10% increase) - $113.75 leaves approximately $650K in cap space for next
year
I'm no capologist, so just take this with a grain of salt 😆
Leafs definitely need to get rid of Wood or whomever else they can to open up space.

06 Nov 2026 18:07:30 Leafs need defenders not forwards.
04 Nov 2026 14:44:12 Sounding like Chatfield could be available and shouldn't be all to prohibitive.
Tor: Tverberg
Car: Chatfield

05 Nov 2026 00:02:19 I don’t think you realize how important he is to the Canes. He’s one of their main shutdown guys. The only reason for the rumours is that he’s gonna command an expensive new deal.
Agree0Disagree0
05 Nov 2026 11:46:08
The reason of the rumors is because contract negotiations have gone no where.
03 Nov 2026 14:38:58
Just throwing this one out there. We need cheap entry level contracts on the team but we also need to get a young top defensemen like Edvinsson from Detroit. My proposal
Marchenko for Edvinsson
Then Rielly to wherever this season or in the off season. Leafs can sign Edvinsson for $8-$10 mil
and still have money to sign Kuch next year or McDavid the following year!

Leafs can't sign Edvinsson without dumping a lot more than Mo. He will have the prorated salary like Willy did when he held out.
I have absolutely no interest in Kuch and his 20m ask on a 6-7yr deal.
Agree1Disagree0
04 Nov 2026 23:09:39
Marchenko and Rielly combine for around $11 million this year. Then next year Marchenko goes to $12.5 million.
Agree1Disagree0
05 Nov 2026 12:07:18 From my understanding, if Edvinsson was to sign for $10M today (Nov 5), his pro-rated cap hit for this season would be about $12.4M. If he waits until Dec 1, it goes up to about $14.8M for this season. Leafs could wait until the off-season to move a contract like Rielly's. If Edvinsson is traded, it will have to be a team with lots of cap space or they are sending back lots of cap to make it work.

Hrenklin
Doesn’t Joshua and OEL cover off that tagging rule?

01 Nov 2026 19:13:32 @Salming They should even it out just fine as both are signed through next season which is the main issue.

02 Nov 2026 18:05:13 It's not too far off, but it's still not enough.
