2x 1st round picks.

SEA is looking for offense and has youth to spend. This is the most ideal trade partner for the Leafs.

TOR
Mangiapane
2026 2nd
2027 1st
2028 1st
2029 cond. 1st if they win cup in 26/ 27/ 28 before Connor's deal expires.

Cap retention can be used by TOR to make this happen.

I think someone got into the police evidence room.

Huge overpay by Oilers.
3.) 07 Feb 2026 18:00:48
I DON’T think it’s that much of an overpay CKPS. DON’T think they would want to give away their whole future but a 1st a year from now and 2 years from now doesn’t have the same value and coming from Edm it would a very late 1st round. I think they would add Howard over that many 1sts but who knows.
4.) 07 Feb 2026 19:00:04
How much do we need to retain in Salary to make it work. All of it? lol.
5.) 09 Feb 2026 03:47:50
Too many picks, not enough D1, D2 and D3 prospects like Matt Savoie, Ike Howard and Beau Aki.
It will be years before most of those draft picks make the Leafs roster if they make it at all.

I'm not sure EDM would be in a position to give up actual NHL-ready youth who have a good cap hit.
With McDavid only extending 2 years, he's telling the org to get him a cup or he walks, so they really only have one last kick at the can, and in their eyes, if they get McDavid a cup, they'll gladly go through a decade in the toilet, because to have McDavid through his prime and not win him a cup would be really tragic for the game as a whole.
In hindsight, perhaps they want Roy instead of McMann, as they are a bit thin at centre and I don't know if they think Henrique can get the job done at his age, so perhaps Henrique comes over and Roy heads the other way with cap retention.
Cap isn't a concern here because the Leafs aren't getting anyone in UFA who's worth all the extra money they have.

SEA:
- Nylander

__________
TOR:
- Wright
- 2 2027 1sts
- O'brien.

Done!
2.) 25 Jan 2026 00:24:59
Seattles second 1st round pick in 2026 is from the Lightning (top 10 protected), likely will transfer this year.
Wright, Lightning’s 2026 - 1st round pick, O’Brien who was a 1st round pick, Dallas Stars 2nd round pick in 2027.

TOR
______________
Greentree / Brzustewicz / '27 unprotected 1st / Cond. '28 1st if LA reaches Conf. finals either this year of next
+++ If LA wants cap retention.
LA
______________
Matthews
---------------------------------
Kopitar is gone after this year, so they're not gutting center depth by giving up Byfield. Doughty is getting older, so they're not parting with Clarke.
1.) 23 Dec 2025 16:35:17
@FrensUnited
So, LA not willing to give up center depth, but the Leafs are?
If Matthews is ever traded, you can bet a center return will be part of that deal.
2.) 23 Dec 2025 16:39:10
@tags not if they decide to tank for a bit. My biggest thing is we shouldn't trade Matthews unless he's getting us one of our picks back, because making us worse just gives Boston and phili better picks.
3.) 23 Dec 2025 17:03:25
@Shanacant
Tanking is not a good option IMO. We're not bad enough to be bottom 5, it would really hurt to give Boston a 6-9 pick.
But even if we do get bottom 5, out next 2 years first round picks are gone. And with a Matthewsless team, we can end up with a bad record and still give Boston & Philly high first round picks.

Shanacant
Sorry, I didn't mean to sent my last post and just re-read your post.
I agree with you in not trading Matthews, but if we do, we have to get a solid return back with players who can help us win now.
So if we trade with LA, the trade would have to include Byfield & Clarke ++. If LA is unwilling, then no trade.
5.) 24 Dec 2025 00:38:50
If Byfield and Clarke aren’t the return, this trade would not interest me in the slightest!
You have traded a #1 center and have only a RW and a RHD coming back?
How is that going to work for the Leafs while leaving them with only one, 35 year old top 6 center on the roster?
6.) 27 Dec 2025 22:44:28
Don’t want future draft picks that won’t be available for use for two or three years, who will then need another two or three years of development before ever playing a game for the Leafs.
To LA: Matthews (Leafs retain $5M x 2 years)
To Leafs: Byfield ($6.25), Clarke ($863,333) and Greentree (ELC)
Adding Byfield, Clarke and Greentree to Knies, Cowan, Woll and Danford gives the Leafs a good young nucleus for their rebuild.
7.) 28 Dec 2025 14:27:47
Matthews with $5M retained would get a big haul. Likely even more than that. At about $8M with retention he's a 30-40 goals scoring 2 way centre with the ability to score 50+. Still in his prime age wise. May have to add a 1st from LA.
8.) 29 Dec 2025 14:19:25
I’m just looking at this post now guys my bad cause it’s good, and one I’ve mentioned as one I think Tre should be circling around strongly given LA just seems like they’re missing pieces as well to truly contend. To make the Matthews deal you think retention by Toronto makes this more of a possibility for LA? It’s not a bad idea and again 100% Q Byfield B Clarke and L Greenetree are in the return package. So if the Leafs offer retention which we can afford. How much and what does LA give on top of the players mentioned? How much of a blockbuster can this turn into?
9.) 29 Dec 2025 14:23:05
RLF I apologize I see you already answer my question I got to excited I guess haha. Man I’d do that in a heartbeat. I believe Matthews is gone after his contract is up. So, cut ties now even tho he’s off. Idk, I thought he looked not bad last night playing Detroit. Looked faster stronger on the puck and fairly dangerous attacking the net. He keeps it up this makes it easier for us to move him. Funny he starts picking his play up after the trade chatter grows louder. Or is that just me? ;)

That asking price is such a collosal overpayment I nearly had a stroke just reading it.
01 Mar 2026 15:24:31
NY is trying to get younger...
And why are we giving up Hildeby?
01 Mar 2026 03:40:26
Byfield's a career second line center who falls in the 20-25g / 60 point range.
LA loses Clarke when on the cusp of Doughty retiring? Who plays the right side of the blueline for them going forward?

How does SEA get better with this deal?
