Leafs rumours 3

27 Nov 2025 21:46:20
For argument sake,

Van: Rielly, Woll, Robertson

Tor: Hughes

Would Love to throw Domi or Jankrap in there too lol

27 Nov 2025 22:47:12
I can see adding Domi but would have to take back Kane for the cap to balance.

27 Nov 2025 23:34:24
So I had 2 🥴 tell me that the package I put together couldn’t get Hughes but this one does? Why on earth would u give up Woll?

28 Nov 2025 00:02:03
The Norris trophy runner up for this?
Every other team in the league could put together a better package than this.
Imagine what the Devils would offer to acquire a 3rd Hughes brother.
Simply not believable.

28 Nov 2025 01:15:06
Woll is a decent player but has huge flaws that have cost us games and series and Vancouver could use a good goalie Stolarz and hildeby are huge guys and are more then capable of winning games not to mention we need a Norris trophy calibre defender.

28 Nov 2025 12:29:22
Put hildeby not Woll.

27 Nov 2025 19:11:15
To Nashville
Robertson $.825M RFA
Jarnkrok $2.1M UFA

To Toronto
McCarron $.9M
2026 2nd (via Minny)

Nashville get a young, potential 20/ 25 goal scorer in Robertson. IMO best to trade him while value is still at a high point, before he continues to regress.
Jarnkrok a good defensive/ PK guy who is only owed $.775M in actual money for the year.

Leafs get a big RH 4C, who plays physical and also hits & fights to defend team mates.
I'm hoping to squeeze a lower 2nd from Nashville, but if that's too much, I could live with a 3rd.

Lines
Knies Matthews Domi
Cowan Tavares Nylander
Laughton Roy Maccelli/ McMann
Lorentz McCarron Maccelli/ McMann
Joshua

Thoughts?

27 Nov 2025 21:25:48
Don’t need more bottom 6 players.

28 Nov 2025 00:03:20
Much rather have Robertson than McCarron.

28 Nov 2025 00:47:46
It's not just for a bottom 6 player. It's getting a RH 4C who plays physical and can PK as well, while giving up a bottom 6 winger. Plus, I'm trying to get a 2nd round pick and capitalize on Robertson's play before he regresses.

28 Nov 2025 00:59:18
Plus opens up another $2M in cap space giving more room when TDL rolls around.

28 Nov 2025 17:24:00
If Nash would do it, sure. A different style of bottom 6 player, some draft capital and cap space. Sounds good to me. McCarron is good on the dot, PK's and plays a physical game while never being shy to drop the mitts.
After a hot start, Robertson has 1 point in his last 6 games and a -4. Playing in the top 6 as well. Him and McMann are both slumping on the scoresheet lately.

Vancouver deal is laughable. That offer from leafs doesn’t get Hughes alone!

27 Nov 2025 21:27:23
In what world does Maccelli get a 2nd? Take a 4th or 5th and run.

28 Nov 2025 00:07:33
The Norris Trophy runner up for Reilly, McMann, Carlo, Holimka and Leafs only true NHL prospect besides Cowan (who can no longer be considered a prospect) .
If Alvin made a trade like this he might not live to see Christmas.

27 Nov 2025 03:03:12
Wow so i heard if both leafs and oilers are out of it by deadline, there's blockbuster coming between the 2...


Heard...draisitl and bouchard

For.....matthews, rielly, cowan and i think i also heard lower level prospect as well...

27 Nov 2025 06:47:08
Uh huh, I heard Quinn Hughes to the leafs for Willy as well. Then I woke up.

27 Nov 2025 11:10:02
Lmao. You “heard” that did you? You heard nothing!

27 Nov 2025 13:17:10
Did your good buddy Tucks give you this info?

Fault already said he refuses to waive. Not that I want him anyway.

26 Nov 2025 22:11:41
Ok insider 😂😂😂.

27 Nov 2025 04:11:16
Trocheck isn’t going anywhere.
He’s far too important to the Rangers.
Especially for a nothing burger like Joshua, McMann and Quillan.

27 Nov 2025 09:41:34
They have no cap space and they aren’t able to move ZiB to clear some. Next up Tro. Artemi FA frees up 11mil but then u have a gapping hole. So tro going nowhere at 32yrs old I’m sure if right deal presents itself he’s gone.

28 Nov 2025 00:12:44
St. Louis sends their #1 center to the Leafs for Carlo and two expiring contracts (Maccelli & Jarnkrok), players who won’t even be in the NHL next season?
Seriously?

26 Nov 2025 12:22:24
tor: mcmann, villeneuve

chi: murphy (50%), 2026 4th rd pick

murphy at 2.2m for the rest of the season should help with our defensive injuries. this would allow mccabe to shift back to the left side with him on a rubbish down pair until tanev comes back. then he can work with OEL or rielly.

if the leafs continue to flounder he could be flipped again for a draft pick at the deadline at another 50%. hed have some solid value down the stretch.

26 Nov 2025 13:20:08
Garbage.

26 Nov 2025 15:34:24
A 6'3 RHD that blocks shots, hits people is garbage as our right handed down are all broken with no immediate time table for return. Sound like what's garbage is your thinking.

27 Nov 2025 04:14:39
Murphy would be a good addition to the Leafs back end, but I doubt very much that Chicago lets him go for the return of McMann and Villenuve.
But …
If it can be done somehow, it makes the Leafs a better team.

27 Nov 2025 16:18:48
Playing playing 3dd pairing minutes. Down 6 minutes from last season. Chicago is very much playing their young players. The return of McMann is a 2 way option. You have a 20 goal scorer that you could look at resigning, or a 20 goal scorer that could be moved at the deadline for another draft pick while retaining a developing RHD that is perfect for Chicago's timeline.

25 Nov 2025 14:52:42
Nash
Matthews $13.25M
Groulx $.812M

Tor
Stamkos $8M
Wood $.950M
L'Heureux $.863M
Gibson $.865M
2026 1st (No protection)

Nash gets the best player in Matthews with term and take Groulx for contract limit purposes.

Leafs take on the aging Stamkos and his contract who may revive a bit coming to his hometown. We know he is a leader and will play with passion. Wood is a big, strong power forward. L'Heureux will add physicality with the ability to alos produce some points. Gibson a stay at home Rd prospect and an unprotected 1st in a deep draft. Open more cap space as well.

I know I will get the "not enough for Matthews" from some. Let's face it, Matthews is oft injured and is not the player right now he was 2 years ago. Could he become that again? Very possible. But at this point he isn't and his value will reflect that.

25 Nov 2025 18:22:49
#1 D or #1 Center needs to be involved if we trade Matthews.

25 Nov 2025 23:47:38
Stamkos though RLF? We thought Austin’s dropped off, Stamkos fell off the map. Doesn’t have it anymore. I want big, tough, strong with heart.

26 Nov 2025 01:13:38
Why Stamkos?
Why not Marchessault a center/ right wing.

If Brady Martin is not part of the return package then I would not be at all interested.

26 Nov 2025 02:13:47
Clarky. Going to need to take back some contract money. That is why Stamkos is in there.

26 Nov 2025 02:24:18
@Clarky Stammer fell off years ago. Tampa just propped him up.

26 Nov 2025 09:23:08
I just don’t see them moving off of Matthews and I’m gonna say it because I think there’s actually something to it berube needs to stop using Matthews so much in defensive situations he’s used the most out of any star player in defensive situations the pk has improved since him and knies have been out as well he’s not ROR he’s better but they got to use him in the offensive end.

27 Nov 2025 04:22:45
Not something I would want to see the Leafs do.
A huge NO to Stamkos but a yes to Marchessault and Hague to make the money work.
I would also want to see Brady Martin and Luke Evangelista coming back to the Leafs.
Woods as a big (6’4”) RW would fit the Leafs needs but the scouting reports state that his “skating has always been an issue and still is. ”.

27 Nov 2025 14:36:10
WB49. So you want Martin, March, Hague, Evangelista. And what else for Matthews?

25 Nov 2025 09:16:04
Tor: Reilly
Ana: mintyukov

I'd pitch it now is the best time to trade Reilly his point production is up Anaheim is looking solid maybe they see value in Mo

25 Nov 2025 14:53:40
Anaheim could use a vet LD. So, maybe.

26 Nov 2025 01:14:42
Awesome trade if Anaheim and Reilly agree.
Leafs would also need to take back some salary.

26 Nov 2025 02:24:41
I'd make the offer, who knows if Anaheim and Mo agree.

26 Nov 2025 09:31:20
The leafs got to put some pressure on Reilly to get him out yes it’s a bad look PR wise but he’s clearly been the issue.

Before when the leafs blueline was made up of guys like hainsey and Brodie he shined because the supporting cast was just so much worse not that they have a decent blueline he sticks out that much more.

I’ve been saying for a while now they need to move off of him because for the last 3-5 years it’s always beeen the conversation of who do they get to play with him and you can hate on carlo I get it but it’s gonna cost you the same if not more to replace carlo as what you just paid to get him.

Right hand top 4 d are a premium in the league lefties are a dime a dozen

Tanev carlo danford is a pretty solid right side if you ask me it’s not amazing but it’s the best I’ve seen since maybe the early 2000’s.

25 Nov 2025 03:33:28
Now im not the best at proposals and i know one person says its black the other says its midnight blue, we know that much...i dont even care what people reply back cause i dont read them cause i can be an ass and very critical of people and my leafs...but ive been around this sport my whole life...theres not much out there in terms of adding to the roster by picks and prospects cause leafs have barely anything in the cupboards ..if i been an ass to anyone on here, i apologize, its not to be a goof,if i use someones profile name and critisize them its because i know u know alot about hockey an i expect you to be fair and not undermine all leaf players



My proposal is this

To leafs: bowen byram

To sabres: carlo,domi, valis


Strategy on decision....byram to me is a #2 moderate, #3 good #4 great..u with me on the way im thinking?

Carlo to me was always a #4 OK dman
Was always servicable, BUT HAS STRUGGLED with leafs, needs a quick change and can fill the void more then likely for them losing byram...

Domi is also servicable who can play center or wing anywhere in the lineup, not great shows flashes of good and bad, u with me so far...he has struggled with the leafs and def needs a change of scenery being traded to buffalo, might just be what he needs, reason being, he can be pissed at leafs which sparks energy and knowing if he dont play well then he might just not be warranted with anymore contracts, so i think maybe gell fight otherwise to prove he isn't a wash...he gas put up 72 points b4

Now i know it should be a pick here maybe a 2nd or 3rd but leafs cant do that, and its possible buffalo would laugh at my proposal cause its not danford, cowan or quillian but rather valis, but i think hes going to turn heads...and be pleasantly suprized


Carlo, domi and valis for byram


Im sure most of u will say its not enough, why would sabres want that...but i truly think it is...we got two players who are going to have establish a turn around and when they are on, there descent, and valis mark my words will turn out to be a top 9
.to me i look at it like this....2 C players and another potential C or better player for a B+ player....so im not gonna read any comments so rip me apart....i will bet on it, byram will be a leafs target at least...

25 Nov 2025 14:59:02
I like Valis, I have mentioned him before.

Byram is a 21+ min a night d-man.
Domi likely holds negative value at the moment because of what he is paid and his inconsistency. He is not as brutal as some say, but not holding positive value either. Carlo has struggled some but Buffalo could use a right shot D. You're right, I think the value is light form the Leafs and the Sabres pass.

So, you won't read anyone else comments, but we should read yours. Interesting way to look at things.

25 Nov 2025 03:19:39
Toronto trades Domi, McMann, Carlo

To
Seattle for
Jamie Oleksiak, Mason Marchmont

Toronto trades Robertson, Marcelli, Myers

To
Nashville for Marchessault

Toronto trades Benoit, Pezzeti, 5th

To
Anaheim for Pavel Mintyukov, Ross Johnson

These are trade that lazy ass Treliving could make today

And look to trade Rielly to Vancouver at the trade deadline for Myers and a 2nd

25 Nov 2025 09:10:25
You are assuming any team would want what your offering.

25 Nov 2025 21:55:17
Hey Goat, "GO CHEW THE LONG GRASS! "

26 Nov 2025 01:22:48
Mintyukov is only 21 and was a 1st round - 10th overall pick.
You want Anaheim to trade him to the Leafs for Benoit (a #7/ 8 defenseman), Pezzeta (an AHL journeyman) and a 5th round pick.
It would be nice but I think you’re dreaming in technicolor.

25 Nov 2025 01:00:16
Some retooling at the deadline if we are close to last place
Tor: stolarz
Edm: savoie or Howard

Tor: Carlo + Laughton
LA: Henry brzustewicz + 2026 1st +2027 2nd
1 last go for kopitar to win another cup

Tor: jarnkrok
Col: 2026 3rd

Tor: Mcmann
Min: ohgren

25 Nov 2025 09:12:07
