Leafs rumours 3

05 Feb 2026 01:01:31
San Jose
McMann
Roy
Carlo

Leafs
Musty
2nd 2027.

06 Feb 2026 16:33:21
Way too little for those 3 guys.

07 Feb 2026 13:39:59
I think it is light from SJ.
Plus, apparently the Leafs have no use for 20 year old prospects especially with only average skating, even if they 24 points in 32 games in their 1st AHL season.
Personally, I prefer Chernyshov. I think he will be the better player.
I would replace Musty with Cherny and they add Luneau as well.

05 Feb 2026 00:56:31
Oilers
McMann
Laughton
Carlo

Leafs
Howard
Beau Akey
Mangiapane for cap.

06 Feb 2026 04:03:58
Overpayment by the leafs.
Especially considering Mangiapane is under contract for another year at $3.6 million.

06 Feb 2026 16:34:01
No thank you. You an oilers fan?

04 Feb 2026 17:49:54
Couple trade ideas

Tor: Robertson hildaby
Phi: tomosino and our 1st back in 2027

Trade 2

Tor: Reilly maccelli
Sjs: leddy ( cap dump) 2026 2nd and haultunen

Still leaves the ability to trade mcmann and OEL.

I can see Philly agreeing to the first one Robertson is a player they liked in the passes and they need a goalie hildaby stings a bit but the Russian kid is younger and keeps getting better. We get our first back and tomosino who’s a young depth forward.

Second trade obviously Reilly has to waive but the sharks seem like a solid spot former leafs there up and coming team checks a lot of boxes we throw in maccelli too has been great sell high in return leafs get a 2nd this year cap dump leddy who is expiring and a prospect that lit up the ohl with Cowan 6’4 blue chip power forward prospect.

04 Feb 2026 17:12:36
Don’t want to trade McMann. Call it a retool and go onto to trade McMann? Leafs trade this guy and he will be a top 6 on any other team getting many more minutes than he is now and putting up 50-60+ points while playing the right way and all you goofballs are trying to trade him for a late draft pick 🤦.

04 Feb 2026 17:13:46
Couple of bad ideas.

04 Feb 2026 18:08:30
I'd try and pry Martone from Philly.

04 Feb 2026 21:09:41
I see both sides
@clarky simple fact is mcmann isn’t worth the money he’s gonna want here 4-5 mil even so if you want to keep him have those talks and it simple we need assets and if you want to come back in the summer cool

@bliwhard you never have anything intelligent to say lol

@hrenklin martone is a elite prospect very doubtful you get him in any trade unless a top player is going the other way.

04 Feb 2026 22:19:36
@Goat? I don’t see it that way. What’s Bobby on pace to hit 30 goals and 50 points and you’re telling me he isn’t worth 4-5M? Not to mention he plays the right way. All heart. We trade him and we will be looking for that exact player in a years time but they will all cost 7-8M ++. I do not see an advantage to trading this guy. He is getting better each year that he is in the show. Trade him and hope some middle to late 1st rd pick turns out to be something. OEL makes sense even though I don’t want to lose him. Reilly should be traded already, Maccelli, sure. But is this is a retool McMann and Knies should not come up in trade talks unless it’s a big overpay.

04 Feb 2026 22:59:15
Goat2.0 Giving up hildeby and McMann for a first rd pick and Tomassino who’s buried in the minors? That sounds intelligent to you? 😂🤣😂🤣 let’s not get on the Reilly and Maccelli trade. Right team to target but your return is ridiculous. Talk about no intelligence.

04 Feb 2026 23:37:39
Mr. Emoji, hate to say that you are correct on both trades BUT you could possibly get more people to give you some respect if you weren’t such an ‘armpit’ and were respectful of others.

But that’s your nature.

Like the bully on the schoolyard but no doubt the “tiny dog that barks all the time”. I can see you now!

04 Feb 2026 23:53:39
@clarky idk I’m not sold on holding onto him I personally would rather sell on him as he’s the best trade chip we got but I will say if the leafs don’t get a first or solid prospect I’ll be upset. but these trade have nothing to do with mcmann trade lol

@blowhard yes if I can move some depth pieces and get some value assets why wouldn’t you I get hildaby is looking good but the other two would be harder to move everyone wants to complain about empty cupboards but we want to pick and choose what we sell off….

05 Feb 2026 02:19:34
Blowhard is Blowing-Hard again.
He didn’t say McMann and Hildeby, he said Robertson and Hildeby.

Personally I would like to Keep McMann unless we are getting a young, roster player with upside for him.
Someone like Matt Savoie (RW) from the Oilers.

If Rielly is willing to waive to go to San Jose let’s get it done.
Taking on Leddy’s expiring contract while getting a 2nd round pick plus Haultunin would be great.
Even just the 2nd or the prospect would be be great.

Since 2022 - 2023 Leafs are 24 - 5 - 1 WITHOUT Morgan Reilly.

Tomasino was a 1st round pick, 24th overall.
He played well enough on his ELC to warrant a $1.7 million dollar contract but then fell out of favor with management.
Tomasino is a Right Wing and Leafs have only one (1) right winger, Nylander, on the roster.
I would like to see the Leafs give Tomasino another opportunity.
Robertson - Roy - Tomasino on our 3rd line might prove interesting.

05 Feb 2026 14:26:20
Pros are saying at the most a late second pick for mcmann.

05 Feb 2026 20:39:28
It is my hope that Treliving will hold out for at least a 1st for McMann.
McMann is “money in the bank” for the Leafs while a pick has risk.
There will be a team step up with 1st I believe.

04 Feb 2026 14:38:47
Tampa
McMann
Benoit
Leafs
O'Reilly.

04 Feb 2026 15:21:00
I'd prefer the picks after so many failed trades. If we bring in a costly player, if want something younger.

04 Feb 2026 16:57:03
Good Trade McMann for O'reilly, the kid played really well at the WOrld Juniors. But I would like a Third round pick for Benoit too.

04 Feb 2026 16:59:53
I love O'reilly for McMann. The kid played great at the world juniors and is a gamer. I'd like to get a 3rd round pick tossed in for Benoit too though.

05 Feb 2026 02:24:47
Love the trade.
Last summer, when his value was at its peak, I wanted to trade Stolarz to the Oilers for Sam O’Reilly, before Oilers traded him to Tampa for Íke Howard.
O’Reilly is a right winger as well, fitting a glaring need on the Leafs.
McMann would be a great addition to the Lightning’s push for one more Stanley Cup with their current core.

05 Feb 2026 20:45:07
I cannot support this trade. It far undervalues two current NHL player for a unproven prospect.

Yes I do like O’Reilly but not at this price.

Need more back from Tampa or this will become a Boston-type trade that will haunt us!

04 Feb 2026 14:32:22
Stolarz to Habs for a second and third.

McMann, Reilly and Robertson to Detroit for Cossa and Nate Danielson.

04 Feb 2026 23:51:02
Okay with the Hab trade but having trouble digesting the DRW trade.

Personally even with trading Stolarz I don’t think we need a 24yo old goalie from DRW. Love Danielson though.

IMO DRW need to add both a pick to replace Cossa and another decent A prospect. We are giving up 3 pieces!

McMann gets at least one piece, Rielly one piece and Robertson one piece so I’m thinking you re light.

05 Feb 2026 08:15:02
Wings wouldn’t be adding. Leafs are getting arguably the best goalie not currently in the NHL and a very good prospect, for a UFA, an average player, and an offense only, overpaid D man that they’re happy to rid themselves of.

05 Feb 2026 22:04:52
Okay Bob, respect your opinion.
But I don’t do the deal.
I look elsewhere.

04 Feb 2026 00:58:22
Ducks
McMann
Roy
Benoit

Leafs
Luneau
Colangelo
2nd 2026
2nd 2027

Oilers
Laughton
Stolarz

Leafs
Mangiapane for cap
Howard
2nd 2026.

03 Feb 2026 19:57:18
Tor: Benoit

Col: 4th

__________
Tor: robertson

Nash: perbix.

03 Feb 2026 22:30:39
I would prefer Blankenburg to Perbix. but I don’t think I would trade Robertson.
People tend to forget that Robertson missed two (2) years of development with the Marlies due to serious injury.
Robertson is just coming into his own at 24 and should become a consistent 20 goal scorer.

03 Feb 2026 20:20:30
Winnipeg

Bobby McMann
Vinnie Lettieri (Marlies)


Toronto

Colby Barlow
3 Round Pick 2026

Not a blockbuster by any means but brings a 1st rounder in Barlow who is being wasted in Winnipegs defensive farm team (And regular team for that matter) system. The Jets are so woeful in offense that Macelli and Roy would be 5th and 6th in scoring there. McMann would entice them to let Barlow go. I would put him with the Marlies and send Cowan down to develop chemistry for future years. Cowans playmaking with Barlows shot could be deadly. Lettieri would help the Moose and possibly the Jets with some depth scoring but he is not really a fit in Toronto so basically we are hoping to get a 3rd rounder. Right now I think the Jets would part with Barlow because they still have Braydon Yager and Brad Lambert. Both of those as well having trouble getting traction in that defensive system there. Its starting to make sense why McGroarty wanted out immediately sparking the Trade for Yager. A 14th overall for a 14th overall. Barlow would also feel more comfortable playing closer to home and also having old Defense point man from Junior Bed Danford joining the fold after the OHL season ends. It could blow up but Barlow has a NHL caliber shot that overpowers goalies. If he rebounds I would rather it be with the leafs.

03 Feb 2026 17:06:52
This would be if a retool.

Ana
Carlo $3.485M
Roy $3M

Tor
Strome $5M
Luneau ELC
Gaucher ELC
2026 2nd

Anaheim helps solidify their right side D by adding Carlo who also has one year left on his deal. Roy can slot into 4th line C or a bottom 6 wing position. He also has another year term left which adds value to both players acquired.

Leafs take on Strome and his contract. Maybe coming home will help rejuvenate him. Luneau fills a need on the RD puck moving side. Gaucher is a big, physical defensive minded C/ W that can fill that role long term. He may never reach offensive potential, but very physical and battles hard. Pretty good scraper as well. Leafs also pick up a 2nd round pick.

Also

LA
Rielly $7.5M ($1.5M retained)
Robertson $1.85M

Tor
Moore $4.2M
Greentree ELC

LA needs help offensively. A change of scenery could really help Rielly. At $6M (with retention) he could help in that 2nd pair position moving Edmundson down to the 3rd pair or put Rielly with Doughty and Anderson with Clarke. Robertson will likely add more offense than Moore at a cheaper price.

Leafs take on Moores contract, but get Greentree as the added value to make the deal work as they are retaining on Rielly and Robertson is an upgrade on Moore.

Leafs save $4M in cap space. $25M for next season.
Out - Carlo, Roy, Rielly, Robertson.
In - Strome, Luneau, Gaucher, Moore, Greentree, 2nd

Also based on re-signing McMann and Laughton.

Leafs will need to look for D-men going forward obviously. They will have OEL, McCabe, Luneau, Benoit, Myers, Rafai and possibly Tanev, plus Danford as a good prospect.

Also, neither Strome or Moore have any trade protection, making it easier to move them again if the Leafs wanted to. Strome can be bought out at $1.67M for two years freeing up $3.3M next season, but adding $1.67M the season after.

03 Feb 2026 20:25:17
I’m going to say yes to all these trades.

I do like Gaucher and Luneau a lot, both are very strong skaters with skill and IQ. Gaucher is a beast; if he can further his offensive skills he will be a very solid add.

Greentree is a big power winger that can score but lacks speed; he can keep up but far from a speedster. Like a Taveras but not as strong a puck carrier.

Moore and Strome don’t hurt but I would have liked something with more upside. Yes both could possibly recapture their form and get us other assets so sure.

I also like that the Anaheim R2 is in 2026.

03 Feb 2026 20:29:51
Rielly is a cap dump, your not getting Greentree in any Rielly trade!

03 Feb 2026 20:56:38
Rsears. The idea of Strome and Moore is if Leafs take on their contracts without any retention, Leafs get the larger return as shown. Not really about them being an asset hopefully regaining form.
The no trade protection makes it worthwhile for the Leafs to take them as there are always teams rebuilding that need vets with good size cap hits to reach the cap floor. Leafs should be able to easily move one or both for a mid-late pick in the summer.

03 Feb 2026 21:13:02
Marner4life. So is Moore a cap dump and LA as I said, is hurting for offence. They are aged to win now. For all his warts, Rielly can skate and puts up pretty solid offence. At $6M per, with the cap going up, he is likely worth that.
I hear so much about Greentree being so incredible. This is the same guy that was healthy scratched for team Canada at the WJC.

Not many 19 year old top players get scratched at the WJC. People talk like he is a for sure top line winger or something. He is likely to be a mid 6 winger that still needs time to develop. Guys with his size and strength can dominate in Junior, but not always when playing against men and he doesn't have the wheels to blow past people. He just turned 20 and still in Junior. I like him, but he is not likely to be a star. Top end is probably like a Lawson Crouse.

04 Feb 2026 00:08:41
Okay understand, not a big leap for me.
I’m onboard.

04 Feb 2026 19:44:28
Greentree just traded to NY.

04 Feb 2026 21:21:09
Greentree was scratched at the world junior because of the coach the knights and spits are big rivals Sam oreilly played top line minutes for that team and he had no business playing.

03 Feb 2026 14:21:48
3 Team trade
Leafs trades: Danford (to Chicago)
Myers (to Winnipeg)

Chicago trades: Murphy (50 percent retained) (to Toronto)
Nazar (to Winnipeg)

Winnipeg trades: Stanley (to Toronto)
Toews (to Chicago)


Toronto trades: Stolarz
to
Edmonton trades: Isaac Howard

Toronto trades: McMann
to
Boston trades: Leafs 2026 First round pick and Minten

Lines: Knies Matthews Cowan
Robertson Tavares Nylander
Domi Minten Jarnkrok
Lorentz Laughton Roy

Rielly Murphy
OEL McCabe
Stanley Carlo

Woll
Hildeby.

03 Feb 2026 17:01:09
Just because Boston fleeced us doesn't mean we can fleece them back, maybe get your first back, but realistically they probably give you their first for him. I wouldn't trade a top 10 pick for Mcmann. If the roles were reversed nevernind adding minten.

03 Feb 2026 21:07:58
Lmao. Boston wouldn’t give you Minten straight up for Mcmann.

03 Feb 2026 22:46:09
Boston chuckles.
Again!

Definitely DON’T trade a 20 year old Ben Danford for Connor Murphy (33 years old March 26th)
I think Leafs have MORE THAN ENOUGH 30+ year old defensemen,
Leafs are beginning a Retool not competing for the Stanley Cup.

Had Stolarz played even reasonably well during his starts this year, Edmonton might be interested as Jarry has been a disappointment.
But Stolarz has been absolutely TERRIBLE so I doubt the Oilers are giving up their top prospect for him.

03 Feb 2026 02:17:53
This is a crazy trade idea that I don’t think would happen, but imo wouldn’t be too off . MTL trades with Toronto which would help habs now and in the future while also giving Toronto enough pieces to do a proper rebuild

MTL sends : hage, reinbacher, dach, 26 1st, 27 1st, 26 2nd and 27 2nd
Toronto sends : mathews and knies

Caufield Suzuki knies
Slafkovsky mathews demidov
Bolduc kapanen Newhook
Texier Evans Anderson

Hutson Dobson
Matheson guhle
Engstrom Pickford

Fowler/ dobes
With the cap skyrocketing, bad contracts coming off the book and the core all signed to long term deals, habs wouldn’t have any problem extending demidov and mathews to long term deals

I just feel that demidov/ mathews combo is match made in heaven with slaf as great compliment, not to mention knies is the perfect fit for Suzuki/ caufield.
