Domi gets swapped out for Mangiapane, and their cap hits are pretty much identical anyway.
Domi's defensive game has always been weak, so Andrew Mangiapane would be a perfect trade target to move Domi out. Mangiapane actually throws hits every now and then (unlike Domi), forechecks way better, and while Domi has the better passing/ playmaking, he just doesn't really fit anywhere in Toronto's lineup right now. So Mangiapane could be a solid test run in that spot.
Leafs fans seem really annoyed/ frustrated with Mangiapane lately, but he's still the more versatile guy overall than Domi.
So why not?

So Domi makes $3.75m has 31pts. Plays LW/RW/C. Yes he’s signed for an extra year. Mangia 💩 makes $3.60m has 12pts and only plays LW. Yes he’s signed to one less year. He supposedly was a penalty kill guy but has fizzled in that department.
Other than the one year less on his contract, he’s 💩. Domi’s play hasn’t been as bad as everyone says. Especially lately, and he’s a good playoff guy. I believe Oilers get the better player here. Just my opinion by looking at performance this season.

You saying he doesn’t fit anywhere in the Leafs lineup is a bad observation.
Agree0Disagree0
26 Feb 2026 16:30:57
Domi looked the worst I’ve seen yet, last game. Call it rust if you want, but he also looked soft as butter. Guy is more terrified of contact than Mitch was. Like holy 💩 Max hit someone, talk 💩, anything. Just turning pucks over and not winning any puck battles.
Don’t see any use for Domi right now and I have defended him in the past because he usually shows up for playoffs, but we ain’t getting there and he is apart of the reason why.
Agree0Disagree0
26 Feb 2026 16:36:33
I have to admit I agree with Blowhard on this one. I commented on another post that Domi is worth way more than most are saying on here. As I said on the other post... Domi has 11 points in the past 11 games and I guarantee if a team wants him at the deadline he has heated up at the right time to get a way, way, way better return than Mangianpane.
You don't do a swap of a 3rd line player who can also fill in on the 2nd as he has lately for a 4th liner; he is playing his way out of the league.

Phillip Danault (25% Retained) to Toronto for Laughton + Järnkrok
Danault can show better next season What could he produce as a 3rd line center once Scott and Calle's contracts expire.
Roy's been underwhelming this year, and so has Danault. Moving Danault to 3C might be just the spark he needs for a fresh start.
So Roy could also change teams too.
Laughton to take the 3C spot at his new team; Calle probably returns to Sweden after the season.
So Nicolas Roy might be moved in exchange for a third-round draft pick.

26 Feb 2026 16:23:37
So u want to get rid of the 28yr old 3C at $3m for a 33yr old 3C making $5.5m? Roy has 20pts and Danault has 14pts. If u can’t see the issue here plus u r giving them Laughton and Jarnkrok. Thanks, but no thanks rather keep Laughton and Roy over dandelion 😂😂

26 Feb 2026 16:29:30
Even with the retention he’s still 4.125m not even worth half of that.

If I am giving up McMann and OEL the only way that deal gets done is #1 we are not eating any of OEL's contract. #2 dump Mangiapane's contract on someone else. We ain't taking it. We will take Hutson even if he isn't what his 2 brothers are (He is still not bad though) and Emberson and that 1st round pick but you better also throw in at least a 2nd round pick. Not sure where you get it but you need to get it..

26 Feb 2026 02:27:23
Leafs have made it perfectly clear they don’t want Mangiapane. So this trade will not work.

Mangiapane is a cap dump. Leafs could flip him for a 5th or something useless if there's more time before the deadline.

Rather keep McMann and OEL for that package.

Deadline Moves: Domi to Edmonton (for Max Jones + 4th), Jarnkrok to Colorado trade to late round pick 5-6?

Anything to get rid of Domi is good for Toronto! I’d trade him straight up for Mangiapane too.

Any trade that moves Domi out is good. Edmonton wouldn’t do that deal. I’d take just the 4th.

9 goals, minus 16, can’t play defensively, and makes almost $4m per season….

26 Feb 2026 13:33:12
You guys can dislike him personally etc. But I am saying at this point with the Trade Deadline coming up he is, believe it or not, worth much more than in this post. NHL teams at the deadline look at things from a different perspective than fans disliking a player.
He has heated up of late and with 11 points in this last 11 games he might be one of the more valuable trade chips, believe it or not, that this team has at the deadline.
25 Feb 2026 17:37:58
Bobby McMann → Nashville Predatorss
Toronto Maple Leafs receive : Reid Schaefer + 2026 2nd-round pick
Oliver Ekman-Larsson → Edmonton
Toronto Maple Leafs receive: Isaac Howard + 2026 2nd-round pick.

You must be joking. 😂😂😂.

25 Feb 2026 21:28:39
No joke,
Toronto's season has been a complete disaster so far, so changes need to happen, got to get some picks back and some prospects in return. Obviously Toronto loses OEL and McMann, but they get Howard back, who has a ton of upside, plus Reid Schaefer, who's already played some NHL games and is still developing nicely. Lane Pederson is a versatile guy who could slot in on the 4th line at LW/RW/C.
You really think Toronto's gonna haul in a bunch of 1st-round picks and multiple A-grade prospects with those guys? Buahaha. keep watching football.
Howard's the main target here( top3-6 potential )and Schaefer's(top 9 potential)gonna play a full NHL season somewhere next season anyway, so why not test him out in Toronto? Lane Pederson can play LW/C/RW, he's solid enough for bottom6- minutes, can fill in when needed, and he'd easily take Jarnkrok's spot while being a good replacement for Laughton.
Or should Toronto just do nothing and hope this roster somehow squeaks into the playoffs? Haha.
Curious to hear your trade ideas... or not.
Agree0Disagree0
26 Feb 2026 00:10:28
Nashville will not give up Schaefer and a 2nd for McMann unless there is a sign and trade done first with the Leafs and McMann. He certainly isn't Matthew Schaefer but he still a pretty damn good hockey player.
I think OEL could get you Howard and a 1st not a 2nd.
To the right TeamLaughton is worth more than a Second and a Lane Pederson. I appreciate you said Pederson is versatile but letting other guys on the Marlies know where the good restaurants in the minor league cities is not the versatility we need. The last 5 years he has 61 NHL games with a whopping 8 points.

@blowhard.... Both means 2 in most English and math circles. The suggested trade had 3 players. So when you tell everyone their trades are garbage.... I notice you never say what might be a better return for the suggested player or players. Try that once in awhile so we can see your hockey insight.

26 Feb 2026 13:25:18
If I have to give u a lesson in what trades make sense and what is garbage then stop posting. Like I said b4 this site is really become a joke. With all the new casual GMS thinking they have a clue about what’s realistic and what’s considered laughable. I said both cause the Laughton trade I didn’t even consider that to be serious so I just ignored it.
Giving him back to Philly for that after you got him for a 1st and a good prospect just tells me you r 🥴. This site used to be good with reasonable ppl posting now it’s just become about guys who get 🥴🍻💨 then post gibberish. I just waiting to see the trades the leafs actually make then compare it to the nonsense ppl are suggesting here.

25 Feb 2026 16:32:55
I’m not giving Tampa Mcmann and Benoit for a 19yr old who’s still playing in the OHL. Sorry rather get a 1st rd pick 2026 and a prospect which is what’s being floated as value for him. Not to mention giving them Benoit as well. Undervalued trade. Cowan for wright no thank you. Your 4 centres next year are u serious? 😂🤣😂 cmon golf town.

26 Feb 2026 05:01:13
Blowhard.
You shouldn’t so readily expose your lack of hockey knowledge.
Sam OReilly wasn't just Cowan’s teammate on the London Knights but also often his linemate.
The two played very well together.
O’Reilly is also a right shot a feature that only two Leafs currently possess, Nylander and Nic Roy (throw in Jarnkrok if you want).
O’Reilly will compete for a roster spot next year.
Why would Leafs prefer a late first round pick in 2026 or 2027 who will be at least 3 - 4 years away from competing to make the team.
You are very quick to criticize the vast majority of proposals, most often rudely!
Why don’t you focus on making your own proposals a little better balanced.
Agree0Disagree0
26 Feb 2026 13:28:11
The 1st rd picks get u capital to make good hockey trades. That's how a retool id done not getting another kid and waiting for him to develop. That’s called a rebuild. You talk about hockey knowledge but you clearly are still grazing in the pastures. 🦬
25 Feb 2026 14:22:31
The 1st I assume is for McMann? If so then you want more than Gavin Brindley who is a hard worker but vastly undersized, and a Middle of the road Junior Defenseman. The problem with Colorado is that their cupboard is even more bare than the leafs for prospects. The only real one they have worth pursuing is Max Curran as I stated in another post but then he has decided to commit to UMass for from all accounts the full 4 years.
I think over the next 3 years Colorado fans will be in for a slow ride down the hill as their team ages and they are up against the cap with nothing to trade in assets or prospects and no Cash to get free agents. In two years their could be some major players from the team getting auctioned off.
Agree0Disagree0
25 Feb 2026 16:35:09
You guys are seriously undervaluing leaf players.
San Jose gets Reilly and his full $7,500,000 contract in return for that. We get obviously $7,500,000 for the final 4 years of his contract. We also get their 2026 second round pick and their 2027 1St round pick.
We then Take J. G Pageau's $5,000,000 for the remainder of this year to give the Islanders some much needed cap room to be able to add on before the playoffs. We also send them the 2nd round pick we got from San Jose for 2026 and our 2nd round pick in 2027 In return we get Kawshawn Aitcheson.
San Jose gets a veteran D-man when they have hardly any signed for next year.
Islanders get 2nd round picks and hugely needed salary relief.
We get pageau and only the remaining on his Contract of $5 million for this year and if he actually is a good fit for us. They we see if we get him to sign at $3 million for 3 years as a UFA with no trade restrictions and give him bonus clause incentives. It still gives us $4.5 million cap relief from Reillys contract. We also get the most important piece which is Kashawn Aitcheson who is a great offensive talent. Is one of the hardest most feared hitters in all of Junior "A" and rarely gets penalties for those crushing hits. And. he is pretty handy with the fists as well. Oh. and lets not forget that 1st round pick in 2027 from San Jose.
Believable1Unbelievable0
24 Feb 2026 22:40:20
It might be too big a price for SJS but I like it!
Aitcheson appears to have top4 talent.
Pageau can be resigned or traded and 2027R1 essentially for Rielly plus KA makes this a great return.
Call Tre and make it happen.
Agree0Disagree0
25 Feb 2026 14:46:18
@ Randy. Tre says why would he want a potential Star Defensemen? lol
Heard a interesting rumour that if the Islanders don't trade any of their 1st round picks this year (They have 2) before the Deadline they might try to Trade Aitcheson and both the Picks to whoever has the 1st overall for that shot at either Stenberg or McKenna. That would be a game changer for the Isles and the other rebuilding team who restocks their shelves in a big way.

Lets say Matthews now wants to play with an American Olympian buddy. Just for arguments sake. Players will have to waive their no moves.

24 Feb 2026 16:17:59
That would be a tough one to pull off. Florida is already in a $-7,696,538 Projected Cap Space. This would add another $1,850,000 to that. Plus I think Reinhart to waive that no trade would ask for compensation from Toronto in the range of $1,250,000 per year to be added to his contract for Tax loss compensation moving from Florida to Ontario. Matthews would not be to upset to going to Florida and paying a lot less in tax.
Agree0Disagree0
24 Feb 2026 19:25:26
Blowhard, I'm working on it, I suggest you do the same.
S1967. As I said at the start, players would have to waive their no moves. They could move someone else to make the cap work if Barkov can make it back.
Agree1Disagree0
24 Feb 2026 23:02:51
I know they have to waive the no moves I am just saying that unless Reinhart gets a raise he ain't moving. Plus with florida being over already on that cap and adding to it. If Barkov come back it would be more like moving 2 extra bodies of substantial $ then what's the point if you just keep moving out bodies. Don't get me wrong. I like the players involved and the assets I just don't see how it works at all for Florida $ wise.
Agree1Disagree0
24 Feb 2026 23:41:40
If this is you working on it then u are way off and need to do some serious homework. Matthews is going nowhere so posting proposed trades for him is ridiculous. Plain and simple. RLF we need to post realistic trades for players that r are truly candidates of being traded.

24 Feb 2026 23:48:43
Love the trade from the Leafs perspective but can’t imagine Florida jumping at the opportunity.
I also find it amusing to read Blowhard’s comments on other people’s proposals considering how outlandish many of his are.

25 Feb 2026 11:49:00
Blowhard. It was to post something different than the same trades with slight tweaks that get posted over and over again. Some of yours look reasonable, many look ridiculous. Not very "realistic" of you to think otherwise. And, "We" can post whatever Leaf related trade we want. Most of the trades that actually happen in the NHL, were never posted here, so no one is doing a very good job of "realistic trades", which includes you.
