I've been hearing a lot of Trochek talk. Reilly for Nurse doesn't make sense. Stampkos has been talked about and are they really considering not taking McKenna number one? They should be preparing a jersey with number 12 on it to represent the luck ball and have only one name on it.
If they are considering a trade with San Jose, they need more than Misa and the second pick for Mathews.

Back to the Dallas cap problems, here's one... Would you do this?
To Dallas:
1st overall pick
William Nylander
To Toronto:
Wyatt Johnston
Tomas Harley
Dallas gets their cap flexibility in to sign their RFAs and still get two solid pieces back.
Toronto gets a pick moving defenseman locked up for 8 more years and a good center. Both are 24 years old and signed.
15 May 2026 03:27:34
God no.
15 May 2026 01:48:03
I don’t want to see this but I could see them doing this.
Rangers
1st overall
Robertson
Leafs
Trocheck
5th overall
Their other 1st 2026
15 May 2026 02:06:47
If Vinnie was taken out of that and Lafreniere was put in I'd do that deal.
14 May 2026 12:49:07
Toronto Maple Leafs trade idea.
Lian Bichsel
Dallas Stars receive.
Brandon Carlo
Nick Robertson RFA
Jacob Quillan
2026 3rd-round pick.
14 May 2026 23:27:43
An excellent target but Stars cannot add these salaries with their cap position and need to sign Robertson and Bourque.
14 May 2026 13:41:44
Don't get me wrong I want to pick McKenna as much as the next guy but what if we just explored what a trade for #1 would be.
Tor - 1st overall
Van - Buium, 3rd overall
Toronto takes one of McKenna, Stenberg, or Reid and gets a top d prospect
Tor - 1st overall, Reilly
Clb - Werenski, Fantilli, Olivier, 14th overall
Toronto gets #1 d-man, 2nd line center, best power forward in league and a high pick. Salary will be an issue here.
Tor - 1st overall
Cal - 6th overall, Parekh, Wolf
Toronto gets a starting goalie, a good d-prospect and drafts Smits at 6.
Tor- 1st overall
Min - Hughes, Wallsteadt
Again, Torotno gets a starting goalie and a #1 d-man
Tor - 1st overall,
NJ - Nemec, Silayev, 12th overall, another pick/prospect
#1 young d-man, good d prospect, top pick
Tor - 1st overall
Sea - 7th overall, Catton, O'brien, Mountour
Still draft a player like Smits and get 2 great offensive prospects and a d-man
Tor - 1st overall
Uta - Keller, Cooley, Sergachev
Tor - 1st overall, Stolarz
Mon - Reinbacher, Fowler, Hague, Bolduc, Guhle
Tor - 1st overall
Phi - Martone, Kocecny, Tippett, Bonk
Tor- 1st overall
Ana - Gauthier, Senneke, Mctavish
I know none of these would happen and we are taking a great young player at 1 but what package would you guys want for #1?
14 May 2026 13:06:49
Considering the massive overpays by the other team. All I of them lol lol. There are a few I think if a piece or 2, were removed could be considered by the other team.
14 May 2026 13:28:42
There were more basis for trades. Also, I would think it would take an overpay for a team to give up a #1 overall pick.
14 May 2026 13:52:47
There are some like Calgary and NJ that have a good basis. The issue I see with most of the other teams is picking up the #1 and trading all those valuable pieces isn't where they are at in their team build. Many are looking to contend now and giving up those pieces would be a step back. Van is rebuilding, it seems, so giving up a young piece they want to build around to get another young piece to build around doesn't seem to help them move forward.
They could keep Buium and still pick 3rd and now have 2 pieces to build around.
The Columbus one seems like a massive overpayment from them, imo.
14 May 2026 23:53:16
Yes the Columbus one very massive overpayment, Seattle one as well as well as the Philadelphia one too.

So I was actually thinking about a possible deal with Dallas as well. Even with the rising cap they are in trouble for next year. Harley's new contract kicks in and he gets a raise from $4M up to $10.59. Jason Robertson is an RFA and needs a raise to at least $12M. Maverick Bourque is an RFA and will need a good raise. Jamie Benn is a UFA again. And they have about 4 other players that need new contracts. So hear me out:
Dallas recieved: Reilly and Nick Robertson
Toronto Recieves: Tomas Harley and Tyler Sequin
I know you will say "no way Dallas does this" but they just might. Sequin has one year left at $9.85M and Harley has a massive contract starting that handcuffs them.
They already have their #1 Damn in Heiskanen. And they want to retain Jason Robertson on a new deal. We are doing them a huge favor to take the Seguin contract, and they get a serviceable Reilly back to play on the second pairing. They also gets Jason's brother where Nick might thrive playing with his brother. Dallas saves 10M in cap space. Leafs have the cap space for Sequin next year and we get a good young puck moving defenseman.
Kinda reminds me of when the Leafs gave Carolina a first round pick to take Patrick Marleaus contract because we had no cap space and that turned into Seth Jarvis for the canes.
14 May 2026 04:57:41
Lol, complete zero percent chance Dallas would do this.
14 May 2026 13:58:18
Dallas could get a boatload of picks and prospects for Harley if they want to move him for cap purposes. Don't see this as a move they would make.
SJ one is interesting.
CLB. Don't see it. I don't think Fantilli is going anywhere.
Especially not for a winger.
NYR needs talent upfront as they have a good group of d-men. I bet they would have interest in Matthews or Nylander, but all depends on the ask from Toronto.

Well, Berube is officially out. I didn't think he would be back. Makes sense to move on. Now they need to know before the draft if Matthews (and Willy) wants to be here or not. If not, look to get another top 5 pick + and like with Berube, move on.
If they both would rather leave. I hope one trade gets a top 5, and the other high end prospects and/or good young roster players or NHL ready ones.
With the extra cap and assets accumulated, it'd need to be traditional rebuild. If done right with the right UFA signings, they could be competitive next season. Not a contender, but competitive.
14 May 2026 00:48:43
He should have been canned at Christmas.
14 May 2026 16:29:50
@golft But…… then our boys may have actually played better for the new shinny coach and made the playoffs to be swept in the first round so all and all I’m ok with the 1st ova Matthews and Willy leaving fingers crossed and retooling around our new picks and prospects with Knies Cowboy Bedford and the other young Marlies that now play with some key UFA/Trades this team will be pretty decent potentially.
I say retool over rebuild only bc we don’t have our firsts for the next two years. I do believe we’ll be in the first round besides Colorado’s 1st next year with the above mentioned departures. LFG Leafs new coach core and process.
14 May 2026 23:28:48
Rebuild all day long.
