I'm still curious about McTavish. What does it take to get him? Could we pull it off and if so man.. that could be huge. Especially if if, Matthews does look to be leaving or this version of the Leafs can't get it together. This guy could be a nice fit on the first line as our #1 C of the future. Year older then Knies it's a good start isn't it? We trade Matthews this time before we're empty handed and we're retooled on the fly.

Trade #3. Lol
11 Jul 2025 18:46:26
He got more than I expected from Reaves. Now let's focus on moving Kampf and Robertson, and maybe Domi as well.
11 Jul 2025 20:50:02
I can't believe he got anything for Reaves. That was a solid trade.
Kampf and Domi can stay if they want. I don't see how you even get anything at the tdl. There's almost no assets left to trade.
11 Jul 2025 21:36:21
@LL Kampf seems to have fallen out of favour with Berube, so I don't see the point in keeping him.
Personally, I would trade Domi and just sign Roslovic to play with Matthews. Roslovic has played with Matthews before and is a right hand shot. He's 6'2", great skater and play maker (like Domi), but I think he is a much better goal scorer than Domi. Since, Roslovic is a free agent, no acquisition cost. So to me, it's an easy trade off.
12 Jul 2025 14:35:05
I don’t think we should get Roslovic. We already got Maccelli, it’s one or the other for me and the other top 6F we get needs to have some grit. Can’t go back to too many soft guys or playoffs we get exposed.
12 Jul 2025 15:38:00
@Clarky I agree, but I'm just proposing what could be an easier get. I hope Treliving can get a top six forward and then we could put Roslovic at 3RW instead of Domi. I know LH can play right side, but I just would prefer Roslovic over Domi. Just my opinion.
12 Jul 2025 16:32:26
I am on the same page as Clarky here. It seems alot of the names thrown out on here are softer, skilled type of guys. I would much rather Tre be patient. See if he can move Kampf without cap coming back and see what may open up as the summer progresses. It's not like Roslovic will sign a one year deal likely. They want to change the DNA. They were willing to let a 100 pt player go to do so. Keep focused and continue to change the DNA. Don't sign a lesser version of the guy they just let go.
12 Jul 2025 17:12:05
@RLF Im just not a fan of Domi anymore. He took 60% percent of the season off last year. He only tries with skilled guys and when he's pushed down the line up, his compete disappears. I just want to change him with someone who can put up the same points, if not more (definitely more goals) .
Roslovic doesn't cost anything other than money and I think he can be had for a 1yr or 2 yr deal at a cheaper cap hit than Domi.
12 Jul 2025 23:03:29
@Tags it isn't me saying Kampf is great, it's more that I don't think cap space matters for once. Who cares if he stays or goes.
13 Jul 2025 12:49:48
Tags. I hear ya. My thought is not as much of who we move out, it's more who we bring in. If you move out Domi, who was not a DNA issue, and bring in Roslovic, are we really moving forward with a DNA change?
This is why I kept bringing up guys like McBain, Jeannot etc. We have needed this change for years imo. Guys like Roslovic, don't bring the change we need imo.
13 Jul 2025 13:28:52
RLF Trust me I agree with you on getting tougher, more physical guys. Just, Domi IMO is a waste of space. Yes he's tough and sticks up for teammates, but takes way too many games off and takes way too many bad penalties.
I'm hoping Tre can pick up a DNA change in a trade. This does seem like the direction he is taking. If that happens, then I think Roslovic would be a good add to provide more scoring.
13 Jul 2025 15:34:51
Tags. I'm actually ok with Domi. I think he needs a defined role, which he hasn't really been given. Too many stupid penalties for sure, but he can play and produce. He has proven it in the past. He might have been trying to do too much in his first year as a Leaf, which often ends up accomplishing very little.
I would love to see the Leafs target Crouse and Colangelo. Crouse needs a change of scenery as he is coming off his worst year yet. Colangelo needs a real opportunity and could be a right shot Knies lite imo. Two big men that could make a difference on Toronto. If they could pick up those two while moving at least Kampf and Robertson, I don't know if I see a need for a guy like Roslovic.
That is why I am hoping Tre can remain patient and stick to a DNA change plan.
13 Jul 2025 15:51:57
Fair enough RLF. We will agree to disagree on Domi vs Roslovic.
I too would love a DNA change and definitely like Colangelo as a target. Crouse not so much and I really don't know why, but something just rubs me the wrong way about him.
10 Jul 2025 20:41:42
Look at Dubas finally realizing you need toughness to win in this league. Last few moves; Brazeau, Mantha, Dumba and Clifton. Who taught Dubas how to GM? His team of softies idea between the Leafs and Pens isn’t working? Shocking. Can’t believe he goes there and his first move was Erik Karlsson, what a dink. 😂 some of these guys just have no clue. Go back to being a lawyer.
11 Jul 2025 12:22:02
As I said years ago, Dubas will go down as one of the worst GM'S in Leaf history. He and Shanahan screwed up one of the best opportunities since 67.

Report: Penguins 'fielding calls' on Rakell and Rust!
TSN.ca Staff
Published Jul 08, 2025
The Pittsburgh Penguins have been "fielding calls" on veteran forwards Rickard Rakell and Bryan Rust since their season came to an end, according to Josh Yohe of The Athletic. Kyle Dubas is willing to wait until his asking price is met.
In my opinion one of these two players would be the most suitable fit on Leafs 1st line alongside Matthews and Knies.
It appears they are both available.
What would the cost be?
Would Dubas deal with the Leafs?
Can anyone think of any, more suitable alternatives, that are available?
Not LWers who would be shoehorned into the RW slot. (Re: Maccelli)
Right wingers with proven offensive ability to play in the top 6.
They are 32 & 33 years old respectively, but are only under contract for 3 more years each, so not a long term commitment.
10 Jul 2025 16:37:20
If Leafs aren't or won't offer Cowan+, what else do Leafs have to offer that they wouldn't mind trading that Dubas would say yes to?
10 Jul 2025 21:16:21
Cowan is basically the only trade chip left. I'm not sure what else you offer anyone in any trade anymore.
09 Jul 2025 03:34:05
So much for everyone's favorite trade acquisition!
Mammoth, Jack McBain reach five-year deal to avoid arbitration
Associated Press
July 07, 2025
SALT LAKE CITY - The Utah Mammoth have re-signed Jack McBain to a five-year contract worth $21.25 million.
09 Jul 2025 09:51:08
It's a good contract for Utah. Would have like to see this one happen for the Leafs.
09 Jul 2025 15:13:52
Personally, I think the number is high, I originally figured max around $3.5M per like Jeannot got. I think he got more because of what Jeannot got.
I had been on the McBain train for years on here (I think I actually drove this one) . Still would have love to see him a Leaf.
07 Jul 2025 21:06:34
Should we make bets how far along in August we’re gonna be when Tre finally makes a deal? If he does at all. I’m saying Aug 25th or he doesn’t get anything at all.
08 Jul 2025 11:26:33
He's made 2 already. I know you don't like Miccelli, but getting Roy for a pending UFA was a great trade. How many GM's have made more than 2 trades so far? My guess is not many.
08 Jul 2025 12:48:09
That’s true RLF but how many lost a 12M dollar player from their lineup. Not many. But I guess we will see what happens.
08 Jul 2025 13:55:56
Would you rather he re-signed Marner for like $13M or did the sign and trade foe Roy?
10 Jul 2025 03:55:57
Stop the whining, that little prick Marner is gone and he will not survive in Vegas.
I projection is they dump him in 3yrs because they will see how he disappears come playoffs.
He all about the money! Everything else is just smoke and mirrors.
05 Jul 2025 20:11:50
What if the leafs did nothing.. Hear me out yes it doesn't look great on paper but I still think they are a playoff team why trade the little assets you have left for a top 6 guy that isn't there to me I'd hold on to the space for the deadline and give Cowan a shot
05 Jul 2025 22:21:11
GOAT if they can’t get a game changer I’d agree with that. If you can’t get a Brayden Schenn or Tuch someone with some character and pedigree than might as well not spend it, give Easton the chance or pick up at TDL. Wait for McDavid next year. That’s most likely what will happen because Tre is a master at procrastination. He will wait until everyone is gone and be forced to take what’s left.
06 Jul 2025 11:34:58
@clarky tbh I just don’t see what Toronto has to offer in a trade and trading the little bit of prospects you have doesn’t seem smart either imo domi had some chemistry with Matthews two years ago so I’d start there Matthews and knies are making big boy money now so they need to produce and maccelli is and upgrade to everyone that played with willy and jt last year then you have a 3rd line of mcmann Roy and Cowan…. The team as is is still better then most in the Atlantic.
06 Jul 2025 13:30:06
I don't really disagree Goat. If they can move Kampf for a pick, it is just another asset in the cupboard. Having the cap space to use for a deal that may come along, is something the Leafs have never had. Easier to make a deal if you have cap space. Tre has put the onus squarely on the big boys to get it done. D is very solid and so is the goaltending. Time for Matthews, Willy, JT, Knies to lead and show they can dominate more regularly. The rest should just need to do their jobs. If they could pick up one guy that can play a regular shift and is physical and a bit intimidating, that is not a big contract, I'd be good with seeing what they can do with what they have.
10 Jul 2025 04:00:02
I agree I think Cowan could put up the same numbers as Marner in a year from now.
He has the talent and can hit, Marner was a chicken.
04 Jul 2025 11:47:50
I find it interesting Robertson was qualified but holmberg wasn't. Robertson garners a lot of hate on here. I think he is loaded with talent and work ethic, just hasn't put it together yet. I really feel it's just going to click for him soo.
05 Jul 2025 18:13:37
We have had people saying that for years now. Yes, years. He's been the second coming since his first 2 goal game and has never done anything. I just don't see it.
05 Jul 2025 20:08:43
Apparently holmberg wanted to play centre and the leafs couldn’t offer him that so they walked Robertson still has some value imo 15 goals isn't nothing and I think the leafs qualified him so they had trade bait I don’t think he’s getting a new deal.
06 Jul 2025 01:11:26
@Goat he's going to arb. If he wants to leave he will after that. He probably gets 2m+ as a 15 goal scorer.
06 Jul 2025 11:36:07
@LL I did see that do you think the leafs just walk away from him?
06 Jul 2025 13:32:03
I think Robertson wants out. Leafs may let him walk because IIRC they can't trade a player that is signed from an arbitration agreement. No?
07 Jul 2025 11:42:19
Leafs could still trade him after arb hearing.
07 Jul 2025 14:26:05
Thanks Tags. Maybe I was confusing it with not being able to trade a player for a year if an offer sheet is matched. I think that's right. lol.
07 Jul 2025 15:14:39
You're welcome RLF.
04 Jul 2025 03:11:57
McTavish is a perfect fit. Your 2C of the now and future. Do we have enough to make a compelling offer? He’s a guy I would absolutely include Cowan for.
Cowan
McCann
Hildeby
Jarnkrok (neutral asset, his cap hit is much more than his $ owed so they might take him for a roster spot)
A pick.
05 Jul 2025 22:23:51
I agree. Gonna cost a bit but he is young and able to make a positive difference now. He has some jam to his game too. I still think the trade I posted a little earlier for McTavish was a little stronger. 😂 great minds think alike.
02 Jul 2025 17:09:22
I'd like to see leafs sign mantha and or roslovic.
Give injury prone mantha a chance, big body with past years of success, low risk move.
Roslovic a c/rw gives some options
Tyler
03 Jul 2025 16:53:36
Roslovic is a pretty soft player. Not sure he is what the Leafs are looking for. Didn't Mantha sign with the Pens already?
02 Jul 2025 11:44:53
Move on from Kampf and Jarnkrok, now that bonuses are paid. Dallas needs to clear space, bring in Robertson through trade and he can play top line RW or 2nd with Tavares.
02 Jul 2025 14:48:01
I know everyone is high on Robertson, but I don't think another soft, skilled, poor defensively winger is the answer.
02 Jul 2025 15:38:49
I'm not that high on Robertson, but I can see why the Leafs would target him. He can score, has size and is still pretty young while being an RFA end of contract.
