Alright we lost in Gourde but here is my next option. Wow pretty hefty price too maybe more cause Bjorkstrand has term left.
To Tor: Donato, Murphy (50% retained)
(4.4M together)
To Chi: Kampf, Timmins, Niemela, Robertson, 2nd rd pick 2025
2nd trade:
To Tor: B. Tanev (50% retained) 1.75M
To Sea: Jarnkrok Grebyenkin, 3rd rd + 5th rd pick 2026
I’d be happy with Laughton too but I’d be pumped to get C. Murphy as the D we go after.
1.) 05 Mar 2025 21:56:34
Domi has to go.
2.) 05 Mar 2025 22:45:27
Can you say overpay for Tanev and u delay for Murphy and Donato.
3.) 05 Mar 2025 23:29:56
Chicago can't retain any salary they're at the max of 3.
4.) 06 Mar 2025 01:35:54
Domi isn’t going anywhere. He will get his chance to prove his worth in playoffs. Blowhard it’s a sellers market. Maybe you don’t throw Grebyenkin in but I’m curious to see what he goes for. @Johnny doesn’t have to be CHI can be anyone who will eat cap for a draft pick.!
5.) 06 Mar 2025 02:12:11
I think Laughton and rostilainen are the prices coming to Toronto.
6.) 06 Mar 2025 02:23:24
Not too sure about trading Jarnkrok, the only right winger Leafs have on the team besides Marner and Nylander to acquire Tanev a left winger something Leafs appear to have an abundance of.
Replace Jarnkrok with Domi and a 2nd plus Robertson and no retention is needed. t
I don’t think the Blackhawks would view Kampf, Timmins, Niemala, Robertson and a 2nd as sufficient return for both Donato and Murphy.
A lot of quantity but very little quality.
02 Mar 2025 15:57:06
To Tor: Sissons, Schenn (retained by 50%)
To Nsh: Robertson, Kampf, Timmins, 3rd pick 2025, 3rd pick 2026
To Tor: Zucker (50% retained)
To Buff: Jarnkrok, Grebyenkin, 2nd rd pick 2025, 4th rd pick 2026
Keeping all of Cowan, Minten, Danford, 2026 1st ( better draft), AA, Hildeby (tradeable IMO)
Knies Matthews Marner
Zucker JT Nylander
McMann Sisson Domi
Lorentz Holmberg Patches/ Reaves
McCabe Tanev
Reilly Schenn
OEL Myers
Benoit.
1.) 03 Mar 2025 02:19:22
Jarnkrok, Grebenkin, a 2nd and a 4th for the 33 year old Zucker?
No thank you.
No team over the past 10 years has won the Stanley Cup with an average age over 28.3 years old.
Leafs average age in 2024 - 2025 is 29.18 years old.
I do not feel Leafs should be adding 33 and 34 years old old players to enhance their Cup chances.
2.) 03 Mar 2025 12:25:42
WB we are in win now mode. And those are the guys rebuilding teams are willing to move. If you can find a 25 year old that teams are willing to give up (that we can afford without selling our whole farm system. Than power to ya. 32-33 also seems to be the age where most of these good players become complete players. 200’ players because they are learning what it would takes to win.
02 Mar 2025 02:44:18
What’s the chances we can pull off a deal with Boston?
To Tor: Frederick (2.3X1- 50% retained), Carlo (4.5X3)
To Bos: Minten, Timmins, Kampf, Webber, 2025 2nd rd pick 2026 3rd rd pick
Knies Matthews Marner
Patches JT Nylander
McMann Fred Domi/ Robertson
Lorentz Holmberg Jarnkrok/ Reaves
McCabe Tanev
Rielly Carlo
OEL Myers.

0 chance with tredeadthing at the helm.
2.) 02 Mar 2025 12:49:55
Slim to nill. If I'm trading minten to Boston, I'd probay be expecting geekie to come back.
27 Feb 2025 11:15:16
I still think if we aren’t going big game hunting that the Chi duo of Donato and Murphy (50% retained) is the best way to go. Maybe Laughton. But if we want to get the most bang for our buck, I think we should at least entertain D’Angelo from NYI making league min. Or close to I believe. If we didn’t want to give up too much this year, I think maybe we go after a Donato or Bjugstad with D’Angelo? Can still have space to go after another winger so that Patches or Holmberg don’t have to play in the top 6 and we can keep Bobby or Knies on line 3. I know D’Angelo has had a past but what damage can he do in a month left in the season? He is putting up good numbers for NYI on both sides of the puck. If he is a problem, he is in a one year deal.
Trade:
To Leafs: D’Angelo, 5th rd pick
To NYI: Timmins, 4th rd pick
Trade:
To Tor: Donato
To Chi: Kampf, 2nd rd pick
Trade: (never gonna happen)
To Tor:Olivier
To CBJ: Reaves, Robertson, 3rd rd pick 2025
Knies Matthews Marner
Patches JT Nylander
McMann Donato Domi
Lorentz Holmberg Olivier
Jarnkrok

1.) 27 Feb 2025 12:05:37
Olivier a stretch like u said but worth a shot.
2.) 27 Feb 2025 12:08:42
Just sad that they could have signed d’angelo from the get go now u have to trade for him.
3.) 27 Feb 2025 13:24:29
I agree BH24. But now that he is here proving himself in the N off and def. Maybe he is worth a shot. Like I said, what kind of disruption can a guy make in a month. He is putting up a fair bit of points for NYI and good plus minus too. He has character and heart. He is feisty and most importantly he gets up for big games. Not to mention he is RHD. I don’t see what could be that bad where he is not worth a 1 month rental. Rifai, Benoit and Myers are still here if it doesn’t work out.
4.) 28 Feb 2025 02:54:51
Never would I want to see such a malcontent as D’Angelo’s wearing a Toronto Maple Leaf uniform.
Everywhere he has gone, from Juniors to the NHL to the KHL he has feuded and offended his teammates.
Leafs have a tight dressing room.
Why ever would they want to risk putting D’Angelo’s into the mix?
Donato ($2) for Kampf ($2.4) and a 2nd round pick would definitely work for me.
Though highly unlikely, I would give up a lot to see Mathieu Olivier playing RW for the Leafs.
If Leafs can’t land Olivier I think they should target Justin Brazeau of the Bruins.
5.) 28 Feb 2025 16:02:26
I believe blue jackets buyers not sellers. Bruins look like the better target as their season is slipping away.
26 Feb 2025 12:45:57
Let’s get playoff ready here:
To Tor: B. Schenn (1.5M retained)
To STL: Minten, Kampf, 2026 1st rd pick, 2025 4th rd pick
To Tor: L. Schenn (1M retained)
To Nash: Myers, Jarnkrok, 5th rd pick 2025
To Tor: Bjugstad

Not bad . Domi’s got to go though.
2.) 26 Feb 2025 16:13:06
Like I said b4 don’t want these guys with term going into their late 30’s. Giving up 1st rd pics and prospects for aging players with term.
3.) 26 Feb 2025 16:28:16
Leafs need to target 23-28yr olds not 33-36yr olds
It’s ridiculous these trades you guys are proposing cause the bonehead media says the leafs are interested in them. Are we trying to build a team for a retirement home. Lol.
4.) 26 Feb 2025 19:02:11
It’s called ready to win now. This is usually the age these guys are at their best. With age wisdom and knowing what it takes to win from all their previous experiences. It is also why Bos and TB don’t have much draft capital because they spent it to win a Cup (or two) . You sit there and hold on to your Dylan Cozens dream, Swallowhard24.
5.) 26 Feb 2025 19:03:37
@Bobby1965. Domi is just starting to come around. And he raises his game for playoffs. He will show up when it counts. May take a few penalties while doing so but he will be engaged.
6.) 26 Feb 2025 19:22:54
Domi played decently offensively for a few games . Also gave one to Chicago the other day. He's awful defensively. He’s grossly over paid what you’re getting.
7.) 27 Feb 2025 02:12:26
Bujgstad is the only one I would be interested in seeing in a Leaf uniform.
Dubas made a mistake not grabbing Bujgstad, for the 3rd line center slot, 3 years ago when he was available for a 3rd round pick.
35 year old Luke Schenn and 33 year old Braydon Schenn do not interest me at all.
Particularly at the cost of Minten, Jarnkrok, Kampf, a 1st, a 4th and 5th round picks.
8.) 27 Feb 2025 02:19:08
Clarky69. You keep believing that schenns and pukestad are going to get you lord Stanley. This team needs to reassess in the off season. Cause this roster isn’t winning a cup no matter who u add to it. The only one swallowing hard is you. Taking that pipe from your dreams all the way down.
9.) 27 Feb 2025 09:51:44
I’m gonna stick up for clarky here and say yes it’s an overpay on Brayden schenn but if there’s retention it’s not the leafs get to dump kampf too the reason why the leafs like the schenns brothers is because they are both cup winners and play a playoff style game the leafs have no assets to acquire young talented players that has to be done through free agency all and all I don’t care if they get the brothers or not but I think they are good targets if they can make it work and make sense.
10.) 27 Feb 2025 11:24:08
Can’t trade minten
From the experts.
11.) 27 Feb 2025 13:35:17
Leafs245 not saying you can’t trade top prospects or top picks just not for these guys. If you r saying that a 1st rd pick and top prospects don’t get u good younger players then you dont have a clue goat 2.0.
12.) 27 Feb 2025 13:38:03
I like Luke schenn and I don’t believe you will have to overpay for him especially after he criticized the team for not being able to score. That will cause some noise in the press dressing room for sure. But Blues are asking for a lot for a 33yr old and he’s not worth it.
13.) 27 Feb 2025 16:11:52
Blowhard is a good name for you lol I never said too propects and picks can’t get you young players but you seem to have the typical leaf glaze minten even on the leafs is projected to top out as a 3C Cowan so far has shown he can play well in junior but it’s a far cry from the nhl and he doesn’t seem to show up in big moments those are the leafs top prospects as for picks late round picks don’t carry a ton more of value.
So just for argument sake Dylan cozens was mentioned with the leafs put a package together that you think the sabres look at and say deal using just prospects and picks…. It would cost the leafs their farm system… so this is why targeting vets is what makes the most logical sense.
14.) 27 Feb 2025 20:20:47
Excellent debate going on here boys. Good points from both sides! Goat, great Dylan Cozens argument. May have out you over the top.

Do you guys think Fla is tanking to play TO first rd and TB gets Ott? I know they have injuries but they have had them all year. Just seams a bit fishy.
1.) 09 Apr 2025 02:17:53
Seems like a bad idea to beat the Leafs if that's the intention.
2.) 09 Apr 2025 12:44:45
I'd be shocked if a team started losing on purpose with 10 games left in the season in order to try and get a certain opponent.
3.) 09 Apr 2025 13:52:56
Maybe I should have waited until after the game to post this. ?.
26 Mar 2025 12:06:33
My personal thoughts on next years captains, after Mitch walks and they (FFS please trade Reilly),
Matthews - A
Knies/ Tavares (split home/ away) - A
Tanev - A
McCabe - C
What you guys think and who would you pick with a couple guys gone next year and assuming we get booted out first or second rd this year?
1.) 26 Mar 2025 15:38:30
Nice thought but very unrealistic I don’t think Matthews has been bad in that role I think he’s lead by example for the most part he’s played through injury all year but still well above a point per game still is a stalwart defensive player and he’s called out his team on multiple occasions idk what more you want.
2.) 27 Mar 2025 22:38:26
I think you're sending way to many mixed signals by changing the C constantly.
3.) 28 Mar 2025 11:43:00
Not mixed, direct! This is what we are looking for from our leaders, guys who play the right way and bring it every night! Let McCabe set the standard in the room and on the ice.
4.) 28 Mar 2025 12:34:19
After 1 year of captaincy, you strip Matthews of it?
That is not happening, nor should it. You can't give the guy the C, then strip it from him in 1 year.
21 Mar 2025 08:06:19
Connor Timmins with the Pens: in 5Games - 4 points and a plus 7. This guy was perfect for what he got paid to go. But off he goes to find another partner for Reilly.
1.) 21 Mar 2025 11:04:35
Timmins had enough time to prove himself and never could. Let the Pens have him.
2.) 21 Mar 2025 12:16:02
I don't get the Timmins obsession. And Liljegren had 1 pt and was a +4 in his first 6 games with SJ. He now has 12pts and a -18, so -22 since. Both Timmins and Lily had good stretches before ultimately tailing off a lot.
Timmins had only 8 pts with Toronto in 51 games. I didn't mind Dewar either, but moving Timmins and Dewar got us Carlo, who has been quite good after his first two games. Timmins is likely never more than a 6/ 7 D-man. If Pitt wants him, and he does well, good for him.
As LL said, he had lots of opportunity here, just like Robertson has had and neither has been consistent.
3.) 21 Mar 2025 15:00:54
Clarky
Timmins?!?! Really?
'nough said.
4.) 21 Mar 2025 18:39:12
Underestimated D man. Way better than Lily, he actually wins puck battles. I’m not saying he is an all star but a guy that battles, has a good breakout pass (not just firing it up the boards), plays PK well and could also play PP2 when needed all while making 1.1M? Pretty good for a bottom pair guy IMO.
5.) 22 Mar 2025 08:46:46
@Clarky I'm not sure most of that is true.
Other than a good breakout pass, he had nothing. He didn't win many puck battles, I would never want him on the PK, and he didn't look like someone a contender wants on the pp.
6.) 22 Mar 2025 13:39:24
@clarky he was an asset that was paid too much if he was making Philipee myers money he would have stayed but at the end of the day he wasn’t being resigned.
7.) 22 Mar 2025 14:18:12
That's it right there Goat. Myers was signed for less next year already and Timmins doesn't offer enough offence, or anything else for that matter, to make it worth while to keep him and move Myers for cap space. Myers as a 6/ 7 option is more than capable, as you know you are getting a physical D-man that will put the puck at the net offensively.
Timmins is one of those guys who does nothing very well. He is just meh, in most areas. There is not one part of his game I think stands out. Isn't a great puck mover, not a great skater, not overly physical, not a great defender, not a great point producer, not overly reliable or consistent and doesn't fight. He usually doesn't hurt you too bad while on the ice, but doesn't really do anything that stands out either.
I wish him well with whomever he ends up with moving forward, but I am totally onboard with moving him.
8.) 25 Mar 2025 10:49:40
RLF, I’m pretty sure you’re thinking of Jarnkrok. Fast, skates around and does nothing. A big bag of meh. @LL it’s funny to hear he “only” had a good breakout pass. The importance of that isn’t even measurable to most things a bottom pair D can do. @Goat, I agree about the contract situation and I like Myers as a 6/ 7 guy. But Timmins was much better with the puck, better hockey IQ and could help in many areas. Myers is a one trick pony by playing tough in corners and shooting the puck high off the glass. The main problem here is they keep going out and getting D men to try and make Reilly not such a black hole and no one is working, not even Carlo. Let’s move the real problem here, hopefully in the offseason.
9.) 25 Mar 2025 17:30:10
Clarky, lol. I actually like Jarnkrok. Good for 30-40 pts, solid defensively, good on the kill and doesn't need sheltered minutes. Starts mostly are D-zone starts.
10.) 26 Mar 2025 12:00:14
Only time Jarnkrok had 30+ points was when Keefe had him playing in the top 6, so that’s not really impressive. Jarnkrok is playing like Robertson use to. Skating fast from guy to guy but doesn’t really cause turnovers or create offensive chances. I’d rather a physical presence on that 4th line over Jarnkrok. Someone a little better than Reaves.
11.) 26 Mar 2025 15:43:14
Have you watched jarnkrok no he’s not offensively gifted but the guy throws the body hard on forechecks and when given the chance has a wicked release yes kind like Robertson but you can trust him in your own end.
12.) 26 Mar 2025 15:54:21
? Jarnkrok has 6 30+ point seasons. And if you look at most of the others he didn't reach 30, it was because of injury. Like last year, 21 points in 52 games. That's a 33 point season when projecting to 82 games.
Yes, he skates hard from guy to guy that has the puck. It's known as pressuring the puck carrier. Backchecks with pressure. Rarely in the wrong spot or wrong side of the puck. Robertson skated hard all the time and didn't even know when to slow down and look for open spaces when the LEAFS had the puck. Jarnkrok has 4 points in his 8 games back. His career avg is 35 points per season. He can play up the lineup when necessary as you pointed out, but Reaves or someone slightly better can not, nor are they likely to have Jarnkrok's speed or defensive responsibility. I would like a guy like Olivier as well, not many like him out there.
15 Mar 2025 17:30:30
Look at the freaking lines tonight boys! Wooooo finally some common freaking sense. A 3 line attack from these guys. 65 games in and they finally let these guys run their own line. Watch how we kill it with a well rounded team effort. I’m amped now.
1.) 15 Mar 2025 17:49:14
4-2 senators.
2.) 15 Mar 2025 20:57:12
See how it goes. The issue is always going to be getting enough icetime for everyone. Especially if there are penalties. I am interested to see all 3 lines can attack and defend well.
3.) 15 Mar 2025 22:21:14
Whoever slacks the most plays the least. Earn the ice time RLF IMO. Now they have options not just always put out the big 3. Plus you are getting more people involved. McMann playing with Marner is gonna be good for him and so on.
4.) 16 Mar 2025 00:49:10
Can't imagine that's the 3 line attack you were talking about Clarky. Lol.
5.) 16 Mar 2025 08:39:06
Yup
Looked like a three headed monster tonight Clarky!
I should have put money down on my score prediction!
07 Mar 2025 20:11:46
Minten and a 2027 1st for Carlo? Am I missing something here. Soucy went for a 3rd even if he is a FA that extra year doesn’t close that huge gap between these two trades.
1.) 07 Mar 2025 21:26:45
For one, I would say Carlo is better. There is the extra year of contract and Toronto got 15% retained as well. Soucy is also a left shot which doesn't carry as much value.
Regardless. They got Laughton at $1.5M for this year and next. Carlo, a top 4 RD, for this year and two more at about $3.5M close to what Soucy makes.
Don't understand the complaint. So many complaining Tre won't go for it. He goes for it and gets guys with term and it still isn't good enough.
I would ask anyone to tell when the Leafs have had a better team in the last 20 years?
2.) 08 Mar 2025 04:51:32
What's the issue with Carlo? That's a McCabe type trade. Solid RHD, all defence, here for 2.5 more years, great deal.
Laughton is the trade I don't like.
Not a fan of the player, but that's just me.
3.) 08 Mar 2025 11:25:09
Tre did a great job considering it was a seller's market. The prices were high all around.
Love Carlo.
Okay with Laughton.
Both players retained with TERM.
Team is much better today than yesterday.
Kudos Tre!
10 Apr 2025 10:47:06
I agree WB 49 for the most part but I don’t reallly care for Brock Boeser. Is he gonna be much different than prior superstars? Streaky, not very aggressive, would he raise his game for playoffs? I hope we go after proven winners like Bennett.
09 Apr 2025 14:03:40
Reilly is awful and other teams see how bad he is in his own end. It’s almost getting to a point where we are going to have to pay to rid of him.
26 Mar 2025 11:56:32
Chychrun went for 9M X 8 years. Hey, at least you were close ?.
23 Mar 2025 20:41:53
People that trade McMann or Knies show that they have no clue what they are doing! What’s next McCabe and Tanev? Stolly or Woll?
23 Mar 2025 08:39:20
Hey Mackin, I could care-less if Marner has the most points in NHL history for the Leafs. Because as long as they keep the core 4, they ain’t winning a cup. But hey if that’s what’s important to you, regular season heroes, then enjoy Mackin. But I 100% disagree with most things you say and this one is no different. 10 years of the exact same result and Mackin wants to run it back with another 8 year signing to Marner. ?.
24 Apr 2025 20:25:24
Been in the Holmberg train all year. I guess no one remembers when I said he could be the next Michael Backlund. Maybe a bit far fetched but has the potential. Patches in Tonight too! Big game tonight.
14 Apr 2025 10:44:16
For me Shanacant, we have improved our coach, D and goaltending. It’s all gonna come down to what the core 4 can do this year. If we can’t win/ score this year with those improvements. We all know what needs to change. For me after 9 years straight of the same outcome, I need to see it to believe it. Sens are gonna be a good test as they have been winning without Brady in the lineup.
09 Apr 2025 14:01:35
2 points and a plus 2 in the next 7, yes. Would we not kill for Reilly to get these numbers? Imagine Reilly as a plus on the 1st place team? While Timmins is making it happen on a terrible team.
09 Apr 2025 13:52:56
Maybe I should have waited until after the game to post this. ?.
28 Mar 2025 21:55:39
Been saying this all year but Chief tried it for a period and no one scored so throw that out the window.
