Leafs rumours 3

22 Sep 2025 15:26:29
To Anaheim
Benoit $1.35M/ 2 yrs
Robertson $1.825M RFA

To Toronto
Luneau .865M/ 2yrs RFA
2026 4th rounder

Luneau plays bottom pairing with OEL.

Anaheim gets a young potential 25+ goal scorer and gets back a tough, physical Dman who has matured since moving to Toronto.

Thoughts?

Thoughts?

22 Sep 2025 19:13:12
As much as I like Benoit's compete and thought he was good in the playoffs, I do this one. Saves Leafs huge against the cap, removes an extra forward and most importantly, gives the Leafs a point producing RD prospect that can likely play in the NHL now.

22 Sep 2025 22:53:37
Depends on how they spend the cap space those two are heart and soul guys potentially and I can’t predict the outcome of the cap space but if a top six is the result I’d be in.

23 Sep 2025 01:48:15
I think you can make this trade without benoit in it the thing Anaheim has a lot of is young blueliners they need more offence.

23 Sep 2025 05:12:38
Benoit went unsigned by Anaheim when Leafs signed him.
Why would they now trade for him?

20 Sep 2025 11:36:21
To Tor
Trochek 5.6

To Nyr
Robertson 1.83
Mcmann 1.35
Jarnkrok 2.1
Holinka
2027 2nd

Would have said zibanejad but unless nyr retains no one trading for him with all that term and price tag. Trochek the only option for nyr. Replace holinka with another prospect but I don't believe u need to give Cowan or Danford in this deal. But I maybe wrong.

Knies Matthews Trochek
Macelli Tavares Nylander
Joshua Roy Cowan
Lorentz Laughton Domi

20 Sep 2025 15:54:16
I doubt ny traded trochek, he's one of the best faceoff guys in the league. And keeping their depth at center is probably preferred.

22 Sep 2025 00:24:52
A bunch of nothing for a 2nd line center?

19 Sep 2025 00:25:23
Two proposed trades,

#1 Toronto trades Robertson, McMann, Myers and a second in 2027

To
Colorado for Martin Necas

Leafs put Kampf & Jarnkroc on waivers to clear cap space

#2 Toronto trades Robertson, McMann, Jarnkroc, 1st in 2028

To
Pittsburgh for Brian Rust

19 Sep 2025 09:15:15
Why are you paying more for rust necas is younger and better… that being said I don’t think Colorado moves him as for rust he’s a nice player but I’d like to see the leafs target some youth this year they are getting to be an older team.

19 Sep 2025 17:48:58
Rust is way more valuable in playoffs. More heart and grit. We already have Nylander, we don’t need Necas. I’d take the Rust deal but I don’t want to lose McMann.

20 Sep 2025 00:19:20
In my opinion Necas is far better and younger than Rust.

The offer to Colorado does not even come close to being enough for Necas.

The Leafs have given away far too many 1st round picks over the past 5 - 10 years.
Giving up another one, 3 years from now would be poor planning!

20 Sep 2025 15:55:41
Why's everyone looking at rust over rakell?

Rakell is much more playoff geared than rust.

17 Sep 2025 23:34:32
David Kampf (10% Retained)
Nic Robertson
2027 2nd Round Pick
2028 3rd Round Pick
To The Pittsburgh Penguins For
Rickard Rakell

18 Sep 2025 14:00:16
It's probably more Robertson, Danford, 2nd for rakell.

18 Sep 2025 23:36:28
I think it will take more to pry Rickard Rakell away from the Penguins.

I would trade Cowan before I traded Danford.
A Top 4, defensively above average, RHD is much harder to come by than a middle 6 left winger.

17 Sep 2025 13:01:12
Robertson, Domi, Kamph Or Jarnkok, and a second to Pittsburgh

Rust to Toronto.

17 Sep 2025 19:42:43
Don’t see that happening Bobby, bunch of meh in that package. Plus where would Pitts put all those guys?

17 Sep 2025 23:17:30
Insufficient!

16 Sep 2025 18:44:11
Last minute trade proposals. . .

To LEAFS
Owen Tippet

To FLYERS
Nick Robertson
David Kampf
2028 1st

TO LEAFS
Rasmus Andersson

TO CALGARY
Calle Jarkrok
Ben Danford
2027 2nd

17 Sep 2025 02:08:04
The Calgary trade is interesting though I doubt Danford and a 2nd round pick even come close to the asking price.

I don’t feel Owen Tippet is the correct right wingers to fit onto the top line with Matthews and Knies.
Tippets two main weaknesses are his passing and his defensive play two areas Marner excelled in.
That said, if he can be acquired for Robertson and a distant 1st round pick it might be worth a gamble.

14 Sep 2025 17:55:24
Adding some size to Toronto. Both players want out of their current teams, so Yegor Chinakhov gets a fresh start in Toronto while Nick Robertson heads the other way. I see more potential in Yegor to become the better player between the two.

Travis Sanheim and Nick Seeler also head to Toronto, with Oliver Ekman-Larsson, Bobby McMann, Calle Järnkrok, and Simon Benoite going the other way. If that’s not enough for Toronto’s side, I’d include a 2026 2nd-round pick to balance the deal.

David Kämpff can be moved elsewhere for a 6th-round pick.

15 Sep 2025 02:03:26
I would prefer Leafs target Nashville Predators Luke Evangelista than Chinakov.
Evangelista and the Predators have reached a contract impasse and he might be available.
I see Evangelista being a perfect fit on Leafs 3rd line with Roy and Joshua.

I don’t see any benefit to the Flyers to trade both Sanheim (LHD) and Seeler (LHD) for that package.
Sanheim is superior to OEL.
Seeler is superior to Benoit and I don’t think McMann makes up the difference.
Jarnkrok is merely someone to help balance the cap hits I assume.

16 Sep 2025 13:57:41
Seems like more lateral moves imo… the leafs don’t need anymore bodies they need to move out some of the vets like kampf and jarnkrok to give some of these younger marlies a look here and there if I was tre I’d be acquiring picks and prospects to use at the deadline.

14 Sep 2025 02:15:36
Leafs
Rakell

Pens
Jarnkrok
Robertson
Hildeby

14 Sep 2025 14:48:51
Throw in Domi.

15 Sep 2025 02:10:46
I’m a big fan of acquiring Rakell.
I see him as an excellent fit with Matthews and Knies on the 1st line.
I’m not sure that package is sufficient to sway Dubas’ interest.

Rakell ($5 M)

Jarnkrok ($2.1)
Robertson ($1.85)
Total $3.95

The numbers don’t match for the Leafs and I would love to rid the Leafs of Domi’s contract.
Would Dubas take Domi plus a 2027, conditional 2nd round pick instead of Jarnkrok?
At least Jarnkrok can fill the need for a 4th line RW.
With the acquisition of Rakell there is no position in the lineup for Domi.

16 Sep 2025 23:20:18
Lol
Domi will be first line RW on the leafs
Watch for it.

13 Sep 2025 11:01:48
Edmonton may want to move off McDavid and get something valuable for him before he walks next year.

To Toronto: McDavid, Skinner

To Edm: Matthews, Woll, Robertson, Cade Webber, 2026 2nd rd pick

Would you do it? Who adds here?

13 Sep 2025 16:06:58
Ludicrous.

13 Sep 2025 19:58:25
Best player in the world. They want to resign him. I doubt they are even considering it unless they have been told he is not resigning.

13 Sep 2025 20:24:02
They better consider it. McDavid has given them 10 years of service. He will walk by the end of the year cup or no cup. Edmonton has already peaked imo and Mc can just let the agent take over talks and pass it off just like JT did.

It would be in Edmontons best interest not to deny the thought of Mc walking so if all they want is the extra cap space so be it.

14 Sep 2025 00:13:13
Where does McDavid have the better chance to win a Cup?
In Edmonton where the Oilers have been to the finals the past two years or Toronto, where the team has won only two playoff series in the past decade?

McDavid is NOT coming to Toronto, he is merely trying to force the Oilers into upgrading their goaltending.

In case anyone is looking, Woll is not an upgrade over Skinner.

11 Sep 2025 11:57:17
If Dubas wanted to get three players from Toronto (Robertson, Kämpf, and Järnkrok) and sent back a 2nd and a 6th round pick for next summer, with no players going the other way, that could work.

Let’s be real, those three probably don’t even fit into Toronto’s roster anymore. Cowan should absolutely get a spot with the big club.

Also, McMann deserves a shot on the second line. If his game doesn’t take a step forward, then trade him, but give him the opportunity now.

As for Roslovic, he’s not a Berube-type player at all, too soft. So no thanks on him coming to Toronto.

11 Sep 2025 13:51:11
Why does Cowan just deserve a spot in the lineup? Ask Robertson how dominating junior worked for him turning pro?

11 Sep 2025 17:03:27
Why are those three worth a second?

11 Sep 2025 20:15:26
Shana…. Cowan doesn’t “deserve” a spot. He will need to earn it. However Robertson NEVER dominated in junior. He had one very good season. Cowan is a much better player than Robertson.

11 Sep 2025 22:06:38
Didn’t Marner rip up junior and become a pretty good regular.

12 Sep 2025 03:11:30
I'd give him a run at the start. 3 games just to get the feel for the level.

10 Sep 2025 23:17:03
Anyone:

Nic Robertson
Calle Jankrok
David Kampf


Leafs:

3rd

Knies-Matthews-Macceli
Nylander-Tavares-Roslovic (1yr@3.5M)
Domi-Roy-McMann
Joshua-Laughton-Lorentz
Pezzetta

McCabe-Tanev
Rielly-Carlo
Benoit-Oliver Ekman Larsson
Thrun

Stolarz-Woll-Hildeby

12 Sep 2025 00:42:02
Forget about the cream puff Roslovic.
Get rid of Domi.
Put Maccelli at LW on the 2nd line where he belongs.
Put Nylander back at RW where he belongs.
Put Dakota Joshua at LW on the 3rd line where he belongs.

Trade for a suitable 1st line RW like Rust or Rakell.

Knies - Matthews - Rust/ Rakell
Maccelli - Tavares - Nylander
Joshua - Roy - Evangelista (for Robertson & McMann)
Lorentz - Laughton - Jarnkrok.

12 Sep 2025 20:01:26
Agree with WB 100%…. especially on Domi.
