Still not sold Werenski is sold on Toronto but if the rumours are true and we have a chance I would propose the following:
To Tor- Werenski and Olivier
To Clb-Knies, Robertson, Danford and 2027 1st(Col)
I would love to see Olivier on the fourth line.
No secret the stars play a lot better when there is no fear!

STL: Rielly Robertson 2nd
TOR: McMichael
28 Jun 2026 15:41:56
Look for the Leafs to acquire a good goalie in the next week!
And it’s not Bobrovski! Trade incoming soon!
Great inside sources.
28 Jun 2026 16:48:08
Uh huh. Lmao
28 Jun 2026 17:02:41
Outgoing
Stolarz and Robertson and ??
Incoming
Jet Greaves?
Wallestedt?
Shesterkin?
Demko? Is he healthy?
Dare I say Hellebuyck?
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 12:39:34
Chayka has done a great job with this team so far. Of course winning the draft and drafting McKenna helps!
To CBJ: F - M. Knies + 2027 1st + F - N. Robertson + D - E. Andrae
To TOR: D - Z. Werenski + 2028 3rd
It's rumored that CBJ wants players and not just picks and prospects.
In this deal, CBJ gets 2 young players, one a top line LW already signed 5 years team friendly.
Also send 2 young RFAs plus a pick
Leafs' new D
Werenski Raddysh
Rielly OEL
McCabe Tanev
Myers.
28 Jun 2026 12:39:35
Only with an extension!
28 Jun 2026 13:35:04
I’d rather part with Cowen than Knies, even for Werenski, if that’s even possible. But I’m just looking at the overall picture, and can we add pieces to our defence to get back to contender status in the next two years? I’d say probably. Can we find another Knies at that contract? Probably not, and I feel both are equally important to any team’s success in there respective positions.
So for me Knies would be harder to replace, and I’m having visions of having to watching Matthews and Werenski hold us hostage in two years.
28 Jun 2026 13:42:41
I'm tossed up on the Knies or Cowan argument. I feel CBJ would want Knies. Cowan is certainly cheaper, still on ELC and likely will have a lower cap number.
To the other comment, Werenski can not be extended until next summer. If he then decides to not be extended, trade him away then and recoup picks.
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 00:34:17
Leafs
Werenski
Jackets
Knies
Danford
1st 2027 Avs
Robertson
This would be my final offer.
Does it get it done?
Not likely 😏
28 Jun 2026 02:12:54
Ok Luke Fox. How bout you put your own proposal forward instead of reading one. Rather give up Danford and Robertson than including Cowan. That would really weaken your left side giving up Cowan. But that’s a really good package from what Waddell is asking for.
28 Jun 2026 05:21:49
Who’s Luke Fox?
28 Jun 2026 09:54:37
Think it’s Micheal J’s son, he’s in that new movie back back back again to the future.

I believe that is the most realistic trade for Werenski I’ve seen on here!
Good thinking, brother!
That’s exactly my package!
27 Jun 2026 23:18:05
Toronto + Vancouver Trade Idea
Toronto Maple Leafs receive:
Drew O'Connor
Linus Karlsson (right-shot dude)
Vancouver's 2027 2nd-round draft pick.
Vancouver Canucks receive!
Nick Robertson (RFA rights)
Denis Hildeby
Toronto needs to strengthen its bottom six.
Then Canucks trade Demko somewhere else, he just can't stay healthy.
28 Jun 2026 09:56:04
That would force us to acquire another goalie and give up more assets.
27 Jun 2026 19:28:46
Leafs
Werenski
Lindstrom (rights)
Jackets
Knies
Rielly
1st 2027 Avs
Holinka
Villeneuve
27 Jun 2026 18:59:31
Gonna pass on that. Werenski could be gone in 2 years. Lindstrom with his back issues and also the way he could not handle players his own size in the NCAA did not look good. His development has slowed and Holinkas has trended upward to say the least of how Villeneuve stood tall in the Calder Cup.
We are actually getting prospects developing. As good as Werenski is we letting too much go for the overall return. Kist my opinion which O am sure others will disagree with. But that’s life.
27 Jun 2026 19:56:59
Reilly won’t go there
27 Jun 2026 23:52:37
Ckps
He may not but if SJ gets involved as a third team…
Suffering
Take Lindstrom out
Then we take Villeneuve out.
28 Jun 2026 02:16:36
Why would SJS get involved to get Rielly to help the Leafs land Werenski? They r in on Werenski. They r not going to help Leafs land him. Now if they lose out on him then I see them making a trade for Rielly all on its own. 🥴
28 Jun 2026 05:24:19
It’s a little more complicated than that, champ.
28 Jun 2026 15:38:21
If we could get Cayden Lindstrom in that deal that would be a dream come true for our future down the middle!
He has size, offensive upside, defensively responsible and has a mean streak as I scouted him this year.
Danford and Cowan I want to keep as well as Knies.
Matthews to LA for Byfield and Clarke +.
If we ever have to trade Matthews LA is high on his list. LA needs to replace Kopitar.
Had to throw something out there instead of always criticizing.
Great page to debate Leafs trade scenarios as we don’t have Leaf haters on here.
👍👍
27 Jun 2026 17:04:01
So, Carlo to St Louis for 2 3rd round picks, more cap space what’s next???
27 Jun 2026 16:54:09
Hopefully a youth movement in the back end with 22 million to upgrade on both sides of the puck.
27 Jun 2026 16:58:44
As soon as the traded Carlo, I said to my son-in-law, “They are gonna draft McKenzie with one of those picks. He will be on Marlies this year but our future Dmen are starting to get depth.”
27 Jun 2026 17:27:18
Absolutely great pick
27 Jun 2026 17:56:37
I like the fact that he and Danford were paired and played well together at the WJC’s.
27 Jun 2026 17:58:02
Great trade
Mopping up the moron Treliving’s idiotic move
Mackenzie and Danford should be on the blue line in 2027-28
Like all the moves since Chayka was hired
Especially the draft picks
Good mix on defensive picks and saw Olsen play 4 times
He is a pain in the xxx👍 to play against
If he can find a little more finish he will for sure be a 4th line centre or third line winger
A breathe of fresh air since the dimwit got canned
27 Jun 2026 20:20:31
Right, it’s great they there’s been something some genuine improvement. I know a lot of people were stunned at the hiring of our new GM but he’s actually pulling triggers and making moves.
27 Jun 2026 20:31:42
With the players picked in this draft we should also give Props to Mark Leach who they left intact as Director of Amateur Scouting. Those guys don't sometimes get the credit they deserve.
27 Jun 2026 20:37:35
Well said Suffer.
27 Jun 2026 17:02:45
Hey All! Watching the Panthers and Caps go big bodies has me wondering if we can really compete in the next two years and keep Auston!
We don’t have the assets to get Zack Wierenski.
Therefore I wonder if this would work:
To Utah - William Nylander and a 4th round pick (2026)
To Tor - Ethan Belchetz, Lawson Crouse and Terrell Goldsmith
Frees up more cap space and gets more big bodies to play right away.
Adds about 5 million in space after signing Belchetz.
Keep Knies.
Trade - Reilly, Carlo and OEL.
Acquire - Adin Hill (Goalie)
Sign - Jamie Oleksiak (2yrs), Mason Marchment (3 years), Boone Jenner (3 years), Braden Schneider (3 years) and Mario Ferraro (5 years).
27 Jun 2026 16:55:13
Big bodies don’t equal a Stanley Cup.
27 Jun 2026 20:24:04
I would not be to worried about 2 teams heading towards being bigger. There are still 29 other teams we have to play and get points from. We can't be worried about 2 teams. If around trade deadline it looks like we could be on a collision course with one of them, if we are a playoff condtending team then we might address it with 1 or two select moves.
But don't base your season around it.
