What would it take to get Cerelli from Tampa?
1.) 02 Aug 2026 17:09:17
Cirelli has a no-trade contract and I don't think he would waive to come here. He earns $6.25 million in Florida and his take home is $4 million approx. His take home here would be $1M less.
2.) 02 Aug 2026 18:52:57
Suffering is right. It’s roughly a million less. But if he’s getting paid in USD the exchange compensates for that loss if he lives here. That would be $4.2m CAD. I’m sure it’s something these players consider as well when coming to Canadian teams. He’s an Etobicoke boy so I’m sure grew up a Leafs fan for sure.
But the price wouldn’t be cheap. He’s a really good player. Would be our 2C for sure. It would cost u prospects and a first rd pick for sure. Then u would have to add someone to make the money work. Maybe add Joshua to eat up $3.25m of cap ??. Would love this guy.

I like Cirelli as well, but I'm assuming Tampa would want a replacement back unless they had some kind of 3 way trade on the deal for Larkin.
4.) 02 Aug 2026 21:43:07
They all get paid in US dollars.
5.) 02 Aug 2026 22:05:51
And they are taxed where they earn their money not where they live residence wise.
6.) 02 Aug 2026 22:32:49
What I am saying is if he earns his money in Florida and is taxed there and clears $4 million U.S. and converts it to Canadian funds at the end of the year to move to his Canadian bank. Or if he clears $3 million U.S.
while earning it in Canada and converts it to Canadian dollars at the end of the year. He is still coming up $1M U.S. a year shy by playing here and other provinces and higher taxed states.
7.) 02 Aug 2026 22:34:17
To answer your question, probably Cowan and a 1st, or Cowan and Kolbar, maybe Cowan and Danford. I like the trade, but I think we could go one level higher as far as quality player we’d be getting for the package Tampa would ask for.
8.) 03 Aug 2026 01:13:28
@Suffering I think the argument is if I gave you 30% more in CAD vs USD you'd be ok with it.
They seriously underestimate cost of living as well though.
A million dollar home in Texas and a million dollar home in Toronto are not equal.
After exchange rate maybe you're happy? But really it's still a lot less money as you said.
1 million less in USD is 1.3 million less in CAD while we also have a much hight cost of living in every province.
9.) 10 Aug 2026 04:31:17
Cirelli would take Cowan + 2027 1st + 2028 2nd ++, I wouldn’t do it though.
27 Jul 2026 02:31:09
Leafs: Morgan Reilly, Col 2027 pick
Ducks: Nikita Klepov
1.) 27 Jul 2026 10:00:15
Me personally, I’d rather get a D-man prospect in return like Stian Solberg. I’m probably fishing here but if ur adding a 1st it wouldn’t hurt to ask ?♂️
2.) 27 Jul 2026 15:16:09
Just don't see where the Ducks get the Money for Reilly. Truthfully though I also don't see the Ducks giving up Klepov for that package. Have to remember he was the leading scorer in the OHL as a Rookie and 15th overall pick this year. Not sure they give up on that for that $7.5 of Reilly's.
28 Jun 2026 17:30:45
STL: Rielly Robertson 2nd
TOR: McMichael
27 Jun 2026 16:26:25
In what world is MacTavish worth 2 firsts?
1.) 27 Jun 2026 16:55:48
Aren’t you glad some of us talked you out of it lol
2.) 27 Jun 2026 17:49:36
If you have 4 picks, 2 are worth the gamble.
22 Jun 2026 17:44:37
TOR: Morgan Reilly, Easton Cowan, Col 1st
CAPS: Cole Hutson, Connor McMichael
Cowan swaps McMichael spot on the wing.
Leafs get McMichael as 2C
Caps get Rielly as PP2 D
Leafs get a promising PP2 D
Leafs add?
1.) 22 Jun 2026 19:29:58
Naw, is rather keep Cowan.
2.) 22 Jun 2026 19:44:45
Rather keep Cowan and the 1st rd pick.
3.) 22 Jun 2026 19:57:23
Yeah Keep Cowan and the 1st. Watching him during the Calder Cup and just isolating on him each shift for a couple of games. He has the ability and the tanacity to convert and be that Centre we are lacking. Very smart kid. Other thing I like is when he makes a mistake he acknowledges it and learns by it and goes back out the next shift and plays that much harder and doesn't take it to heart and sulk.
One intangible he brings....He knows how to win when it counts. Last year the Memorial Cup, This year the Calder Cup. Also don't want to part with that 1st of Colorado's. Yes it could be #32 but also could be 23 or 24 and lets be realistic it might be a late 1st but is also happens to be our only 1st next year.
4.) 23 Jun 2026 00:28:48
Cowan.
Center?
How about LW?
5.) 23 Jun 2026 02:20:11
He is playing wing of course, but he has the makeup and tenacity to be a very good Centre. He may line up on the wing but when he played in the Calder playoffs he was playing the whole ice and anticipating where the puck was going to be going on offense and defense and instintively covering for pinching defense.
I have no problem with them tossing him out there and trying him at Centre during the exhibition games.

Woah Chayka has cooked boys.
08 Jun 2026 16:24:14
Anyone else think Verhoff goes #2 this draft?
1.) 10 Jun 2026 09:06:51
No, he was very highly touted, but I think him going to the NCAA exposed some of his weaknesses, mainly his skating. I can see him going too 5, but I think there’s guys who are ahead of him. Personally, I think the Sharks should draft Carels. I think he’s the best all around Dman in this draft.
06 May 2026 01:21:28
Matthews and McKenna on a line is going to be lethal. We need a #2C and #1Dman still.
06 Mar 2026 23:15:17
I know Treviling came in cleaning Dubas mess. But this is an absolute disaster. Get rid of him immediately. We are cooked
06 Feb 2026 15:44:02
I wonder if Tristan Luneau and Sam Colangelo know how much they get talked about on this site.
1.) 06 Feb 2026 19:34:47
I guess I can take the blame for that.
2.) 07 Feb 2026 01:50:01
Yessir. Everyone copied you since you did that lol.
3.) 07 Feb 2026 15:56:31
Is that sarcasm?
4.) 08 Feb 2026 22:46:04
Not sarcasm.
5.) 09 Feb 2026 13:41:24
Yes Luneau and Colangelo are gems in a Good team that has retooled and drafted and traded smartly. Probably the only other teams thatare that loaded with prospects are Utah and Seattle.
26 Jul 2026 03:22:22
Zero percent chance.
15 Jul 2026 15:39:03
No to trading Cowan. I think he's gonna be an absolute dog for us
25 Jun 2026 15:13:40
Is this buddy of yours Mike Grier? Lol
18 Jun 2026 15:13:24
I agree with Clarky if we trade Knies and don't get absolute boatload in return, I'm out. You just don't trade players like Knies. Trade Nylander all day over Knies.
16 Jun 2026 22:14:28
What would it take to get McMichael from Caps as our 2C. And would you fellas be interested in such an acquisition? Would the Caps even entertain the idea?
06 May 2026 02:29:28
You draft McKenna. No question about it. Throw a bag at Raddysh and hope he continues his play and becomes our number one.
09 Apr 2026 20:20:01
I hole heartily agree with this comment.
08 Feb 2026 22:46:04
