Leafs Trade Rumors

15 Jan 2025 14:35:37
Tor: McMann, 2025 6th

Sea: tanev (50%)


McMann has gone cold again. I felt he was completely invisible last night. This is meant as a wake up call aswell as strengthening the team for the stretch run. We know what tanev is. Seattle does this cuz McMann is signed for a couple more years, and get a late pick.

15 Jan 2025 17:56:06
Rather keep McMann.

15 Jan 2025 20:42:33
McMann is a decent piece to consider trading since the entire city of Toronto will gladly pay 4 players most of the salary cap to keep losing in the playoffs. We've pretty much been left minimal choice since we have one of the worst prospect pools in the league. probably have the least amount of draft picks over the next 3 years too.

15 Jan 2025 23:23:55
I like Mcmann. Seems like a losing trade to me.

16 Jan 2025 00:16:07
Hrenklin. McMann only makes $1.35M. What does that have to do with Core 4 making so much?

14 Jan 2025 20:06:35
Getting all the needs in one spot.

To Leafs: Jenner (3.73M X2), Gudbranson 4M X 2 - 50% retention to 2M, Olivier (1.1M X 1)

To Clb: Minten, Robertson, Kampf, Reaves, Jarnkrok, 2nd rd pick 2025, 2nd rd pick 2027


New lines:
Knies Matthews Domi
Patches JT Marner
McMann Jenner Nylander
Oliver Dewar Lorentz/ Holmberg/ Grebyenkin/ Steeves

McCabe Tanev
OEL Gudbranson
Rielly Myers/ Timmins.

Columbus is in the playoff race, so I doubt they are sellers unless they drop off.
Not sure if Clb would go for it anyway. It isn't like the deal makes them better now, which is what I think they will want to do.

According to Elite Sports Gudbranson has only played 3 games this year so I would assume he is out with a long term injury.
I have never been a fan of Gudbranson’s game and see him as a bottom pairing defenseman and not a sufficient upgrade over Benoit and Timmins to sacrifice assets for.
Jenner and Mathieu Olivier on the other hand would be great additions.
Jenner fits the role of 3rd line center perfectly and Olivier fills a need at right wing on the 4th line and would hopefully allow Berube to plant Reaves in the press box.
As RLF points out, CBJs are in the hunt for a wild card slot which would be great for the team and the city after losing Johnny Gaudreau.
They might be looking to upgrade not sell off.

Leafs trade Cowan (has proved he is good against young kids in ohl but perfor.s mediocre against 19yrolds in world juniors) plus a
4th round pick
And salary fillers

To

Calgary for
Kadri 50 % retained

You wanted to trade Marner last year he was useless. Seems Marner has been a top 5 NHL player the last 5 yrs. But you never see tomorrow and what difference Player is at 27 or 28 compared to 23 and 24

Who does Marner remind you of it has to be Doug Gilmour. And he is god to leaf fans.

13 Jan 2025 23:53:00
Trading a 19 year old Cowan for a 34 year old Kadri would seem a very poor decision.

14 Jan 2025 00:43:55
Marner isn't Doug Gilmour lol. Dougy had bite to his game like Mitchy will never have. He may not have fought like a goon, but he had no issue with grinding it out along with skill. That isn't Mitch at all.

14 Jan 2025 02:55:32
I get the reasoning, but I'd move Cowen for someone that we can get 10 full years with before they go on vacation at robidas island.

14 Jan 2025 03:49:39
Marner is more like a berezin with better vision.

14 Jan 2025 12:19:58
What am I reading here?
Marner is like Gilmour or Berezen, lol. In what world?
If anything, I think Marner is more like Denis Savard even though I think Savard played centre.

What do you guys think?

14 Jan 2025 14:15:37
Marner doesn't really remind me of anyone from the past that much. Off the top of my head if I had to pick someone, Paul Kayira.

14 Jan 2025 14:31:07
How about Marner is like how Thorton. Billion assists but no cup, uugh.

14 Jan 2025 15:30:36
😆 Hrenklin
Hopefully he changes that narrative!

15 Jan 2025 14:40:00
@RLF that's a good comparison. Small skilled guy, good skater.

13 Jan 2025 15:26:01
Toronto Trades
Rielly
Reaves
Minton (AHL)
2nd Round Pick 2025 (FLAs Pick)

Vancouver Trades
JTMiller
Soucy
5th Round Pick 2025


Of course any player that has a NTC or NMC in their contract will have to waive it.

2 teams looking to make a trade or a few more deal with Vancouver dealing with issues including what each Roster will be looking at.



Thoughts ?

13 Jan 2025 23:58:13
I would make that trade but I don’t think Vancouver would.
Canucks want an NHL ready center not a center still developing in the AHL.

12 Jan 2025 17:06:15
Let’s get this done:

To Tor: Laughton

To Phi: Kampf, Robertson, 2025 2nd rd pick

New Shaken Up Lines:

Knies Matthews Domi
Patches JT Nylander
McMann Laughton Marner
Lorentz Dewar Holmberg/ Reaves

PP1 - JT Nylander Domi Patches OEL

PP2 - Matthews Marner Knies McMann Timmins/ McCabe

PP time split in half.

12 Jan 2025 22:33:29
just look at the lines and you realize how little this guy knows. mitch on the third line?

13 Jan 2025 01:24:37
noser, sometimes spreading the wealth is a good idea. which like would you have your top defensive pariing against?

im losing faith in patches. hes been kinda sluggish for the last 3 or 4 weeks.

13 Jan 2025 02:32:14
Once again…. Max Domi is not a first line player. Zero defence and way too many dumb penalties.

13 Jan 2025 12:46:19
Lol Bluenoser. Well let’s keep it the same then 🤡, it’s working well. Mitch always plays better running his own line but we can go through this for another playoffs to find out it doesn’t work. CKPS Domi played with Matthews last year and it went well. Short term memory loss?

14 Jan 2025 00:01:27
Briere has already stated he is holding out for a 1st round pick.
Change that 2nd for a 1st and Laughton is probably yours.
Do Leafs really want to give up a 1st for a 3rd line center?
