Big roster shakeup.
Tor- Matthews, OEL
NYR- 5th overall, Fox, Lafreniere
Then Chicago has lots of needs and is available for business.
Tor- Nylander, Reilly, 2027 2nd (Lower of the 2)
Chi- 4th overall, Rinzel
I know people don't like Pettersson but I don't know what other 1st line center they could aquire cheap.
Tor- Robertson, Domi, Maccelli, low level prospect (Tverberg)
Van- Pettersson, Debrusk
Anaheim is scratching McTavish and he might be at the bottom of his value.
Tor- Carlo, 1st 2027, Stolarz
Ana- McTavish, Pick/prospect
Draft McKenna, and then 2 of Reid, Verhoeff, Carels
McKenna-Pettersson-Lafreniere
Knies-McTavish-Cowan
Joshua-Tavares-Debrusk
Lorentz-Groulx-Quillan
Verhoeff/Reid-Fox
McCabe-Tanev
Carels-Rinzel
Danford
Woll
Hilldeby
The only thing you could try is flipping Fox and a prospect for the #2 pick and take Stenberg as well. If you do this then another trade needs to happen for a d-man. Probably Hamilton for cheap out of NJ.

Can we please stop with trade proposals involving teams giving up assets where they do not have a surplus at that partcular position?
I understand Matthews would probably agree to SJ, but the reality is, there's no RHD in SJ's pipeline, and there are two RHD available in the top 4 this year.
Same with LA. Sure, We need a guy like Brandt Clarke, but so does LA. If they give up Clarke in any deal, who do they get to play RD when Doughty retires in a year or two?

Well done, gentlemen.
11 May 2026 14:49:29
I know I bring Anaheim up a lot, but they seem like a team that would be perfect to pop a couple players off of. I said on the rumours side, it would be MacTavish and Luneau if it were me. MacT is one of those guys that are being underutilized in Anaheim imo. Like how I felt about Bennett when he was still in Calgary. He's making $7M for a guy playing only 12 mins a night in the playoffs.
Ducks may want to move that contract for a cheaper 3rd/4th line option. Luneau likely a bit tougher to get them to part with, but their window is open and vet RD's are probably more to their liking as they have Helleson already for the bottom pair RD duties.
I think there is opportunity here for the Leafs.
11 May 2026 15:09:26
100% McTavish is a better player then most think. He came in under a crappy coach and then the Ducks became this monster over night and McTavish just hasn’t been trusted by Quenville. Leafs add McTavish and move JT to the wing to shelter him.
11 May 2026 10:18:00
What a big offseason this year here’s what I’m thinking at least some of it.
Draft (first 3 rounds)
Gavin Mckenna
Ethan Mackenzie
Brady Knowling
Offer sheet Jack Drury 4mx3y
Free agency
Jankowski 2yx1.5m
Marchment 4yx6m
Trades is where I think they improve the blueline.
Idk all trades other than they need to dump Reilly. I would get what you can for Maccelli and then
Robertson, 2nd 2027 or 28 for Owen Zellwenger
Thoughts. It’s not perfect but it adds some good depth upfront and the goal has to be to try and get younger on the blueline.
11 May 2026 12:40:37
That may get Zellweger. He's not established in their top 4 as some said. He was scratched the whole playoffs until last game. You know, I want Luneau instead. If I were the Leafs, I would be looking at a deal to try and get MacTavish and Luneau. MacT has been scratched for a couple games as well. Draft McKenna, get MacT and Luneau and that's a good start to a solid rebuild.
I think it would start with Carlo, and go from there. Stolarz or Woll would likely interest them as well. Anaheim's window is open and they need vet RD depending on who they do/can re-sign. Carlo, Woll+(?) for MacT and Luneau.
Offer sheets are an interesting to think about, though rarely done.
11 May 2026 15:24:05
@RLF I think it’s hard to move Carlo unless they are getting an NHL dman back. Don’t get me wrong, he wasn’t the best at times last year but he was also stapled to Reilly most of the year and at 3.5 it’s harder to replace that at that cap hit but if they can get a McTavish for him that’s hard to walk from as well.
11 May 2026 02:01:41
Well I of course had that Goalie Carousel trade earlier and the last few weeks people have suggested trading Stolarz or Hildeby or Woll a lot.
Here is a blockbuster one to chew on.
Rangers get: Matthews $13.25M
Woll $ 3.6 M
Domi $ 3.75M Part extra piece part Salary
Rights to Macelli $ 3.75 EST. Part extra pience & salary
Total $24.35 Million
Leafs get: Lafreniere $7.45 M
Trochek $1.0 M
Shesterkin $11.5 M
Total $19.95
It is basically a Shesterkin for Matthews deal as the centre pieces, Then Woll and Domi and Macelli are a package for Lafreniere and Perrault.
We will still obviously to more deals and draft etc. But even if our existing Defence stayed intact (Which it certainly won't) The best goalies in Hockey can make any defence look better than they are and he is certainly one of the Top 3 in the game.
11 May 2026 01:09:27
Sorry Perrault was supposed to be there not Trochek. Had thought about Vinnie but Perrault is younger with a great ceiling.
11 May 2026 12:56:43
The Leafs have two NHL goalies, signed with term and a 3rd goalie who looks NHL ready and the Leafs will use the value of Matthews to get another goalie? I get he is one of the best in the world, but goaltending is not really a Leafs issue. It is having one too many.
I get why the Leafs would consider this. Why would NYR do this deal? If they are getting Matthews, it would seem they want to try and compete now as he is in his prime.
Trading their top goalie would be a step back. You could argue that Woll is younger and still a good goalie. Then as I said, why are the Leafs trading for a goalie if NYR would be happy to give up a superstar goalie and play Woll. Why not just keep Woll and use Matthews in a trade to fill a void where there is a real need.
11 May 2026 13:30:27
I won't get into a long debate with you on this one. The Leafs have a goaltending dilemna in that they don't have a true elite goalie and yes they have 3 under contract but 1 is constantly injured and the other one has actually lost his starting spot with the Marlies to a young goalie. That same young goalie that would very much benefit working under Shesterkin.
New York is in a weird mode in that they are not sure it they want to retool or rebuild even more confused than Toronto is in that regard. The Rangers always crave a Star Forward and Matthews fits that and would be a good one to Centre Greentree as he develops. That my personal take. No long debate needed.
11 May 2026 13:43:41
It takes two to have a long debate, Suffering. You have long debates with many and question many people's views, prop ideas, etc. Typically to tell them what is wrong with it. I asked pertinent questions to your prop. No different than comments you might make to others. Not sure what the problem is with that.

Not sure SJ would do that deal. Leafs should if they could.
Can't imagine Rangers doing that one.
11 May 2026 14:45:08
Sharks won’t do it. Matthews and a bunch of junk going their way. Take Misa or the 2027 pick out and maybe.
11 May 2026 16:26:16
On the San Jose one, yes, that’s a high pay from San Jose. I don’t want to part with him, but if Danford was put in and Myers taken out, that trade gets much closer to reality.
11 May 2026 01:55:25
Matthews Robertson 2nd for Kucherov.
11 May 2026 02:36:09
Makes no sense for Toronto.
11 May 2026 01:08:28
Nash
Matthews $13.25M
Tor
Martin $.942M
Reid unsigned
2026 1st (10 OA)
L'Heureux $.875M
Nashville picks up a #1 centre much younger than Stamkos and O'Reilly. They only lose L'Heureux off their roster.
Leafs pick up very good young C and D prospect in Martin and Reid. L'Heureux will add some physicality in the bottom of the lineup.
All 3 guys play with some jam and not afraid to drop the mitts when needed. The 10th OA pick could allow the Leafs to pick up another good prospect (like Rudolph) on top of the 1st overall they already own. They clear about $12.5M in cap as well.
11 May 2026 00:42:15
I want more. Too many maybe players involved.
