Something that I’ve been thinking about is offer sheets. Leafs own their own 2nd next year so in theory the Leafs could offer sheet someone @2.3-4.6 million. Teams like Anaheim could be a target for this.
What’s your thoughts?

Who are your targets you're thinking about?

Anaheim has a lot of cap space, and don't have to pay their younger guys yet.

I like the thought of offer sheets but you have
to target teams that are hard up against the cap. Remember 2 years ago Edmonton was up against it (as they are again). Bowman in all his wisdom decided in August he wanted to keep $10 million for possible cap space for the trade deadline. So he let St. Louis offer sheet Both Dylan Holloway and Philip Broberg and got a 2nd and a 3rd round pick in total compensation. People say it ranks as one of the worst moves in Edmonton's history. Holloway is now close to a point a game player who is very physical as well.
Broberg is ranked in the 98 percentile for overall speed in the NHL and is imbedded in the top 10 fastest dmen but also crazy Goid defensively. Both are still only going to be 25 heading into this season. Funny the 2 exact kind of players Edmonton was trying to get the last 2 years. They already had. The lost them both on very affordable offer sheets. Broberg 4.58 Holloway 2.29. So yeah you can get a deal by lower base offer sheets.

I think it all depends on what happens with Matthews, Nylander and probably Rielly. If any/all are moved and solid players/prospects are the return, there may be no need to give up a pick in order to get a young player.

Utah is a bit tight on the cap and Beaudoin will probably crack the lineup so might be worth a 2nd round pick for Barrett Hayton. He would be a good third line pickup.

We could take a run at Mavrik Bourque and offer right to the max that we could do with our 2nd round compensation. Dallas would have a extremely tough time to match if they sign Robertson. That brings us a very good young centreman.
Now for free agents id think Laine would look well on the 3rd line with JT and Joshua who can pick up the defensive slack.
The #2 spot could be Tuch, Roslovic are the only right handed options that could be available.
Now defensively
We should move out Rielly.
OEL ZZZZZZZZ
ZZZZZZZZZ Tanev
Mccabe Rinzel
We have 2 holes to fill, Anderson prefered after drafting Reid and bringing in Rinzel. for the last spot id thinking Ferraro would be the #1 choice to compiment Tanev, with Logan Stanley bein the second option.
Everyone else thats not bolted down we should trade for picks and prospects to use to upgrade players as we go.

Really think that the Leafs should keep Matthews
Leafs trade Nylander to Hawks for 4th overall pick and 2nd '26 (Tor)
Leafs trade Rielly to the Sharks for 2nd '26
Leafs trade Stolarz to Canucks for DeBrusk
Leafs trade 2 2nds and Robertson to Stars for Harley
Leafs trade Domi to Jets for Barron
Leafs trade Myers, Maccelli and Benoit for picks
Draft McKenna and Reid or Verhoeff
Sign Laughton, P Kane, Marchment, Oleksiak and Raddysh
Knies Matthews P Kane
Cowan Tavares McKenna
DeBrusk Jenner Marchment Laughton Barron Lorentz
Spare Joshua
Harley Raddysh
McCabe Tanev
OEL Oleksiak
Woll
Hildeby

Why would Dallas ever make that trade and give up Harley?
I like the Laughton and Raddysh Ufa signing ideas... but not sure about the other ones. P Kane is far too old, and I doubt Marchment will ever come back to TO.

Well one more from way in right field. We give our 1st and RFA rights to Robertson to St. Louis all the way down in the 11th draft spot which isn't super horrible spot.
In return we want Centre Dylan Holloway (St.
Louis was using him as a winger), D-man Philip Broberg, and with the 11th pick now we have our #2 Centre and #1 pairing Defenseman and we then draft at 6'-5" and 227 lbs of Ethan (The Beast) Belchetz.

Forgot to add.... then St. Louis can draft Stenberg and they have him and his brother they already drafted as a 1st rounder.

Oh god no that's terrible return.

I’m curious why you consider that a horrible return?
Agree0Disagree0
09 May 2026 02:20:11
Holloway, Broberg and the 11th overall for the 1st overall and Robertson?
Seems like a huge overpayment by St. Louis?
