When you look at all the young talent in SJ, is there really room for Musty? If the Leafs are looking for a young, power forward type that may be available and will drop the gloves but can put up offence, Musty would be a good target.
45 pts in 61 games as a 20 year old in his first season on the A. He is currently injured and out long term after a puck t the face in camp (iirc).
What's his value in you guys opinion?

05 Oct 2026 19:31:13 Do we really need more offensive young forwards? We are having trouble defensively with the roster we got.
Why get one when you can get both and instantly change 1/3 of our defence?

Too much for Edvinsson

I don't think Cowan needs to be added as Detroit is a desperate mess right now.

04 Oct 2026 14:01:04
Detroit may be a mess but there’s still 31 other teams calling about him, they aren’t going to give him away to a division rival for free.

Canucks not giving up the rest of their cap space on those 2 players but nice try. Leafs have to take some salary back in the trade for sure. TBH they have no interest in trading for Reilly.
03 Oct 2026 21:50:51
Would anyone be interested in doing a 7yr x 8.5M for Simon Edvinsson? Because 5 is lower then 7 we would have to give up 2 1sts, 2nd, 3rd which is a high price but do you guys think its worth it?
For anyone that doesn't know:

Nope. And they don’t have the picks to do it anyway …. Has to be their own picks.
Agree0Disagree0
03 Oct 2026 23:18:49
Yes they do.
We go into the later drafts (i.e. 2029 and 2030) and what's stopping us from acquiring our own picks back?
What would you give up for him in a trade?
Joshua and/or Domi for cap reasons, but what picks? And what number would you resign him at?
Agree0Disagree0
04 Oct 2026 15:04:55
It’s only 1st rd pick not 2 if u offer $8.5m. And Wings match that easily so not going to work.
Agree0Disagree0
05 Oct 2026 12:26:24
As mentioned - it is 2 firsts when it is 8.5x7 because you take the total contract (59.5M) and divide it by 5 not 7 because 5 is lower and then you get 11.9M which does equal two firsts, second, third but if you believe that Detroit will match than it doesn't matter.
02 Oct 2026 20:53:44
So question for everyone, I know @suffering will be on this lol.
Could we offer sheet Nikishin at 1x4.4? The compensation is 1 or 2 second rounders, then make it up in an extension, something like 7 x 8 or 7 x 9 million, so the man gets paid. Just curious!
Believable0Unbelievable0
02 Oct 2026 19:51:34
You need your own draft picks to pay the compensation. Plus, Carolina match.
Agree0Disagree0
02 Oct 2026 20:49:52
Ya absolutely I believe we have our own 2nd round.
Agree0Disagree0
02 Oct 2026 20:51:32
Ya, they could match and have probably offered way more and he didn’t agree so moot point right?
Agree0Disagree0
02 Oct 2026 22:46:48
@Lgm That's a dirty move, but would be very funny lol.
If I'm not wrong, Canes can't trade him for a year after signing an OS. If I'm correct in that, he would never sign the OS knowing he's then still in Carolina.
Agree0Disagree0
03 Oct 2026 05:05:34
I don't want to disappoint you LeafsGM. He can’t be offered sheeted. Yes he is a RFA but hasn’t played enough games to be offer sheet eligible. So a trade is the only option for him to leave.
Last I heard they had offered 8 years in the 6.5 range but he wants higher with less term. Not sure if we have enough to offer them in a trade without stripping some good prospects.

Cool, thanks guys. Definitely some things I didn’t think of there.
Agree0Disagree0
04 Oct 2026 15:08:14
You think they would take Reilly $1m ret., plus Col 1st and say Danford for Nikishin? I can’t see Reilly saying no to the reigning Stanley Cup champs. Add another forward prospect.
02 Oct 2026 01:01:23
Here’s a fun unrealistic thought
Tor: McKenna and OEL (for cap and value)
Montreal: Lane Hutson
Who says no?

@CKPS You cannot possibly believe the Leafs say no.

At this point I agree the Leafs say no.

You guys must be insane. You can only dream of finding guys like Hutson. He is a future 1D if not already. The guy is an absolute stud.
Unless McKenna turns into Kucherov, he will never have the value Hutson does.

I think Columbus not naming Werenski captain says a lot about their expectation he stays with the team long term. Listening to some of the podcasts of “insiders” seems like others agree. I don’t think we should rule them out on Werenski.
Cowan’s stock is pretty high right now, Columbus wants players more than prospects, and we’ve got a good relationship with Don Waddell and Columbus
Tor: Cowan, Danford, Col 1st, OEL
Columbus: Werenski
We have 7mil in space so the money works and Columbus would want a Defenceman back (reason they wanted Andre in Marchenko deal) so OEL can still play 2nd pair
Or would we rather pay Danford and Colorodo’s first for Nikishin?

01 Oct 2026 20:51:33
Unfortunately, Cowan is making it difficult to trade him. Add that we just traded Knies. I'm not sure 1. of the other young wingers is the best course of action right now.

I really like cowboy. I don't think I do this

01 Oct 2026 22:58:52
I agree he’s going to be a great player, but if Columbus is even close to as high on him as we are, just positionally a winger for a top 3 defenceman in the league is a no brainer to me.
