Leafs Trade Rumors

This may be the type of deal we could do for Rielly.

To Utah: Rielly

To Tor: Ian Cole + 2nd rd pick 2026

Cole is a 36yo expiring contract. By helping another team out by taking out an expiring contract may help us get a 2nd for Rielly without using retention for 4 years. This guy cannot play another year for the Leafs. I think he will do well somewhere else but he needs a change of scenery.

Leafs would absolutely get another prospect to come back in a trade like that. With a potential cap space peice aswell.

15 Feb 2026 19:10:26
Pens
Morgan R
Lorentz

Leafs
Kindell


Oilers
Laughton

Leafs
Howard.

I could see a slight possibility that Edmonton would bite on that if they fail on other trade fronts. They do need another forward with size and experience. Howard has a good upside though so the leafs might need to sweeten it.

The Pittsburgh deal I can't see happening. Kindel is way to bright of a budding star. He is playmaker similar to Mitch Marner in that linemates need to be ready for a pass that there doesn't seem to be enough room to make. He is a battler along the boards too which given his smaller stature is surprising. But his lower body leg strength is solid. Makes sense with both his parents being ex professional soccer players. I can't see them giving him up at all.

17 Feb 2026 00:30:31
Rielly won’t get traded until off season. He’s not waving. Laughton for Howard straight up seems doabke but only if leafs retain salary.

14 Feb 2026 19:35:52
If leafs come out of Olympic break and the players that r being rumoured in trades keep playing well. There is a very good chance leafs fetch multiple 1st picks for them. If that is true then leafs brass needs to entertain all of them and stock the shelves. The 6games b4 the deadline will determine if they will be able to. Carlo, OEL, Mcmann, and dare I say Laughton.

To Tor
1st rd 2027
2nd (blues) 2027
Gudas (exp contract)
Gaucher
To Anaheim
Carlo
Stolarz

To Tor
1st 2026 (Edm)
Chernyshov
To SJS
OEL

To Tor
1st 2026 (Tampa)
4th 2026 (NYR)
2nd 2027 (CBJ)
Villeneuve

To Sea
Laughton (50% retained)
Robertson
Maccelli (50% retained)

I previously had trade with Mcmann going to LAK for another 1st and prospect. With the Fiala injury makes a perfect replacement there. There’s your four 1st rd picks. Then u do what u want with other players like Jarnkrok, Domi, Joshua, Benoit.

15 Feb 2026 03:34:02
Is this a Rebuild OR Retool?

Personally I have little interest in draft picks in exchange for Leaf players.
Draft picks won’t be selected until June of this year.
That is followed by at least another year in juniors and another year or two, (for late 1st round picks), in the AHL, before they are ready to compete for a roster spots.
I feel Leafs should be targeting D+1, D+2 and D+3 prospects some of whom will be ready to compete for roster spots at this falls training camo.
By drafting players who have already been drafted Leafs get a better look at their progress a year, 2 or 3 after they have been drafted.

15 Feb 2026 10:06:27
Who’s playing defence for you moving forward lol I’ve said many times moving Carlo doesn’t make a ton of sense you paid a fortune to get him and to replace him you will most likely have to do the same. OEL has been great this year but zero chance he pulls that package and the third trade is ok I’m not sure I’d move Laughton personally.

15 Feb 2026 22:03:04
Gudas takes Carlo’s spot. You still have Benoit Rielly McCabe on your left side. What r u talking about who plays d. As for no interest in picks especially 1st rd picks or good 2nd rd and 4th rd picks is a ridiculous statement. Those can be used to acquire good players and nhl players not prospects bounced back and fourth from the minors for the last 2-3 yrs. Deep draft a lot of good players to choose from this year and next. Draft picks get u players prospects don’t.

18 Feb 2026 00:29:49
Ducks GM dry heaves
Kraken GM falls off his chair laughing.

14 Feb 2026 04:48:28
Would you consider:

To Minny: Matthews

To Tor: Faber, Ek OR Hartman.

14 Feb 2026 09:30:04
No because you just fixed one problem and created another the leafs need to draft there own Faber that’s the only way to get your hands on a top dman.

14 Feb 2026 16:51:21
2nd move would be
Nylander and Reilly to ANH
4
McTavish, Sennecke, Helleson.

14 Feb 2026 17:28:27
Swap out mctavish for either Carlson or Gauthier and I’m sold don’t like mctavish.

14 Feb 2026 17:41:37
Your first trade not a chance I’m giving ninny Matthews for that weak two players. You joking Clarky?

14 Feb 2026 21:31:00
I would do Faber and Boldy on that first deal.

15 Feb 2026 03:46:32
Faber and Ek would do but Faber and Boldy would be much better.
That said, would Matthews have any interest in going to Minnesota?

15 Feb 2026 10:08:34
Question I would ask clarky is why would either team trade the up and coming players for guys who are stars but haven’t won anything.

17 Feb 2026 00:50:21
Minny would jump at Matthews for those / guys but if I was Toronto it would be a no thank you. Boldy then we r talking not EK.

13 Feb 2026 02:33:52
Would you consider this?

To Pitts: Reilly, Robertson, 3rd rd pick?

To Tor: Karlsson (10M, 2.5M retained =7.5M x2 years), Brazeau @ 1.5MX 2

Or am I way off here?

13 Feb 2026 10:07:09
Too old . picks and prospects to restock the cupboards.

13 Feb 2026 19:01:36
Way off. It’s a retool don’t need or want karlsson.

13 Feb 2026 20:28:16
I Like Brazeau, But Karlsson is needed in Pittsburgh with Letang slowing down, even with his hefty contract. Dubas has always liked both Robertson and Reilly though.

How does this one sound. We trade them Reilly and retain $2.5 and Robertson as well as Mcmann who might sign with the GM who signed him as a undrafted player and gave him his start in the NHL as well as our 3rd round pick this year. In return we get Pittsburghs 1st in 2026, Brazeau who is a big serviceable player and Harrison Brunicke who is going to be a stud on Defence.

We get a great prospect who didn't look out of place in games in Pittsburgh or in the AHL and is Looking fantastic in Kamloops. He was a shotblocking and hitting machine at the WJC's this year. The only reason he is back in Junior is to get major minutes and Kamloops has a good shot of going far in the Playoffs.

13 Feb 2026 21:11:49
Sorry I meant to add that with Sid being in Pittsburgh and with Robertson going there it allows Pittsburgh to make a crazy offer to Jason Robertson as a UFA. They have the draft picks to make it happen whether it is just under the 11,700,192 or over the 11,700,183 and they will also have the cap space to do it. Maybe Dallas works out a deal with Pittsburgh before the deadline on that front. Or somehow a 3 way with Leafs, Dallas and Pittsburgh could be worked on.

13 Feb 2026 21:20:36
I’d do this Karlsson for the same price as Reilly for less term I’m in.

13 Feb 2026 23:05:08
Yes Leafs GM me too. We only have him on books for 2 more seasons at 7.5M where as Reilly would be 4 more. I’d rather a 40 year old Karlsson over a 30-31 year old Reilly plus getting Brazeau? I’d be taking it plus it helps get our PP puck moving D until we develop one of our own.

13 Feb 2026 23:07:36
@suffering stop suggesting trading McMann to me. It’s dumb, we will not get back a player of his value and a late 1st is not worth Bobby McMann. If it’s a retool, Bobby stays. If you’re rebuilding from bottom up then yes go get a 1st for him but they are not doing that. So don’t just move good players just for the sake of getting draft capital back.

14 Feb 2026 04:19:22
Who said I was trading McMann for just the mid 1st round pick Clarky? He is for the 1st and the key to the deal to get Brunicke. A younger version of Chris Tanev with his shot blocking but also a very mobile defenceman. At 36 years of age Tanev if he does the groiin surgery may not play again for the leafs anyway we need to stock the cupboard now. Robertson is straight up for Brazeau and Reilly and eating 2.5 of his contract is just a added player to entice the full deal. And to open up cap room for the leafs.

I jcan see Pittsburgh adding Reilly because they need veteran depth on D but not if they have to give up Karlsson who actually is playing the best 2 way hockey he has played in his career. They would certainly want Toronto to eat part of Reillys contract. For them to give up their Power play quaterback and you to ask them to eat part of Karlsson's contract doesn't make sense for them to do.

P. S didn't you suggest trading Nylander and Matthews and others in a massive deal I did call you dumb? No I said the returns looked decent other than swapping a few pieces. Im just playing Devils advocate on this one. It has to make sense for both teams.

Depending on if they make the playoffs or don't that First round pick can be used for both a retool (Trading it and a player for a better player in the off season. ) or a rebuild by using the pick or Trading it and a player to move up the Draft board.

I think if they could land Brunicke that at least 2 of him and Danford and Chadwick will be stalwarts with the leafs and possibly all 3. I have never said McMann is a bad player but he is a good trade piece given the free agency thing. Plus I think Holinka is going to be a pleasant surprise for fans and open eyes at Training Camp
.

14 Feb 2026 16:54:34
Not true Suffering I used the word dumb when you said you were retooling and then go on to trade McMann. If we are rebuilding and Moving Matthews and Nylander I’d be ok with trading Bobby for a 1st.

14 Feb 2026 17:32:49
I never said retool at all. regarding this post.
