Leafs should dump Robertson and kampf to the sharks or duck
Sign roslovic
Knies Matthews maccelli
Roslovic Tavares nylander
Mcmann roy domi
Lorentz Laughton jarnkrok
I would like to see Cowan to make the team but they would have to move domi that fourth line was a factor last year in the playoffs I'd like to see it continue but roslovic isn't perfect but he put up 22 goals last year and has some good playoff numbers sign him short term around 3 mil
1.) 04 Jul 2025 12:41:24
Trading Domi is a must . For anything.
2.) 05 Jul 2025 00:33:08
Maccelli is a LW and Roslovic is a right hand shot.
Better to put Roslovic on the 3rd line at RW:
McMann - Roy - Roslovic
Leave Maccelli on the 2nd line at LW:
Maccelli- Tavares - Nylander
and work out a deal with Dubas for either Rickard Rakell or Rust
Knies - Matthews - Rakell/ Rust.

Best post so far.
01 Jul 2025 23:43:09
Bring Bert back!
Tor: jarnkrok Robertson
Chi: Bert
I think Chicago will be tanking for mckena Bert fits this team better now then his first time
1.) 02 Jul 2025 08:24:48
No thanks Bertuzzi doesnt move the needle. The most interesting question right now is what can Maccelli be with the Leafs. If you watch his highlight tapes the first thing you see is he is a fantastic passer. I’m talking sending a puck through 4 defenders and right on the stick of his teammate at the side of the net for a grade A chance at a goal.
His passing ability maybe better than Mitch Marner I don’t know what went wrong in UTAH but @ only 25 years of age when the new season starts in October this guy could be the steal of the offseason. He plays on Left Wing so he will play on second line to start camp
Knies Matthews —————
Maccelli Tavares Nylander
McMann. Roy ——————
That’s what we have so far so Leafs still need 2 solid players and if they trade Domi Reaves Jarnknok and Kampf with their exsisting cap space they will have close to $20 million in space. Leafs could be a lot better next year if they add the right top forwards.
The 2 wildcards who could also contribute to the top 9 are Cowan and Robertson but we won’t know til we hit camp.
2.) 02 Jul 2025 09:38:24
Not a big fan of bringing in Maccelli at $3.4 million and not sending any salary (Kampf or Jarnkrok back to Utah.
Without Utah taking salary as well as draft picks I would never have made this trade.
Treliving preached DNA change and then brings in another small body, averse to physicality who was a healthy scratch for 17 games last year.
I would rather have Holmberg at $1.5 and Taylor Raddysh at $1.5 than Macelli at $3.4.
To me this is another Klingberg, Hakanpaa, Reaves, Treliving head scratcher.
3.) 02 Jul 2025 12:45:18
Hey Bert scored 23 goals last year in a crap Chicago team he was an impactful player on the leafs in the playoffs say what you want but at that cap hit he’s still a good player.
4.) 02 Jul 2025 12:46:16
@WB we still have a whole summer to make some trades and change the roster configuration.
You are jumping the gun way too soon.
01 Jul 2025 14:24:33
My two signings today are perry and jeannot short term deals
1.) 01 Jul 2025 15:20:16
Pass on Perry.
2.) 01 Jul 2025 16:22:03
2, roslovic and boeser.
27 Jun 2025 18:25:07
Montreal lands Dobson but are now 3+ million over the cap here's my pitch
Tor: 2nd (64)
Mtl: dach
It works for both dach hasn't worked there they need space Toronto takes a chance on a young guy with only one year left they could use him at centre but they don't have to
1.) 27 Jun 2025 20:05:52
Why would Montreal do that.
2.) 27 Jun 2025 20:44:58
I don't think it is far off. He only had 15 even strength points last season. Bad injury history. Maybe add Holmberg to get the deal done as Holmberg would be a cheap replacement for them losing Dach.
Now the big question. Is getting Dach something the Leafs should do?
3.) 27 Jun 2025 21:07:04
And Habs still need to sign there back up! So they definitely need to trade someone.
4.) 27 Jun 2025 23:41:02
I like Dach as a player but he has never completed a full season as a professional without a serious injury.
Guys who are chronically injured tend to continue to be chronically injured throughout their career.
I would prefer a player who has a chance to play 70 - 82 games in a season.
5.) 28 Jun 2025 07:51:13
@WB let Crosby know. I remember that being his history once upon a time.
I would do this trade just based on Dach's potential vs a second rounds potential.
6.) 28 Jun 2025 14:30:12
The Habs use their LTIR in Price and remain well under cap.
26 Jun 2025 11:10:57
Tor: Reilly Robertson
Cgf: Coleman 2026 1st (vgk)
Again I can only see Reilly accepting a trade if he can play close to home Calgarys blueline looks weak and rumours of Anderson being shopped might make sense Colman would be a nice third line player can play in all situations
1.) 27 Jun 2025 02:18:07
I feel that adding the first round pick makes this proposal too difficult for Calgary to swallow.
Reilly and Robertson for Coleman straight up might get it done if Reilly agrees to the move.
I still think Vancouver is the best and likely the only team Reilly would wave his NTC for.
2.) 27 Jun 2025 09:16:53
@WB49 look at calgarys blueline they almost made the playoffs last year I would agree Vancouver would make sense but their blueline is basically set after getting Marcus pettersson last year the reason I included this 1st is because Reilly has 5 more years on that deal I don’t think it’s an unreasonable ask.

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
1.) 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.
2.) 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.
3.) 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.
4.) 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.
30 Jun 2025 09:30:24
Interesting 24 hours ahead does marner get the sign and trade? Brad Marchand is the leafs #1 target via free agency.
Truthfully I think Vegas might just walk away from marner Hague was just traded for sissons and lauzon which are up most of the cap space they had. maybe tre overplayed his hand.
Brad Marchand a leaf? This is a move I'm not sold on it's likely gonna be a super expensive deal my guess 8.5x 3-4 years. Yes he's still a good player but it leaves them with around 5 mil to fill out the roster which is more than enough but pretty wild that Brad would get more than knies and jt lol
Also side note I'm interested in what happens to Robertson and holmberg
1.) 30 Jun 2025 12:43:29
I don't know if Tre overplayed his hand or not. Could be that Marner wouldn't agree to the deal. Getting Roy would have been good. I still think he goes to Anaheim.
2.) 30 Jun 2025 14:04:29
I will add that if it is a sign and trade, Colangelo comes back to the Leafs, Marner becomes their captain within a year.
3.) 30 Jun 2025 21:03:28
Who needs Brad Marchand, we have Maccelli. ?.
4.) 30 Jun 2025 21:46:41
Ckarky. He resigned in Florida, can't blame Tre for that.
5.) 01 Jul 2025 00:12:22
I didn’t blame Tre for not signing Marchand, I blame him for answering with Maccelli. Like are we not making a team for playoffs here? What is Maccelli gonna do in playoffs against Florida? I know you guys love Tre off. And I thought he did a good job up until this point. But these wingers that we need added are the deal breakers for this team and Maccelli isn’t the answer, at least IMO. And I don’t care what he does in the regular season. I want to know if he will make an impact come playoffs. We have limited cap space and this deal doesn’t do it for me.
6.) 01 Jul 2025 02:42:12
It was a no risk move to get Maccelli. He only has one year left on his deal. He is a playmaker type of player. We get Roy. Hopefully sign Jeannot and at least move Kampf. If Mangiapanne is cheap enough on a short term deal, I'd probably do that as well.
And yes, I do like Tre. I think he has done a great job all things considered.
7.) 02 Jul 2025 12:04:32
No risk? We just spent 3.5M on another project we hope works out. This guy Sat out regular season games for Utah because he is very streaky and you think he will make an impact in playoffs for us? It’s a big risk considering we have a couple years to win before Matthews leaves and this is part of the replacement for Marner. Tre messed this one up but I know you guys will never admit that.
25 Jun 2025 17:29:05
Any idea on what the leafs will do with their picks looking at mock drafts I would love the leafs to grab a centre someone like William horcoff
1.) 25 Jun 2025 19:09:10
Evander Kane just went to Vancouver for a 4th round pick? These are the type of guys we need. I hope Tre pulls something off in a week here.
2.) 25 Jun 2025 21:49:11
Yea I liked kane until the finals then he turned into the kane nobody wants.
3.) 26 Jun 2025 12:49:19
I don't think Horcoff will be around at the end of the 2nd round.
Obviously depends on who is on the board still at the time they pick, but I would think it will be a forward. Size will be a factor. A guy like Paupanekis my guess would intrigue the Leafs.
4.) 26 Jun 2025 17:51:57
I’ve also saw a lot of big stay at home dman in mock trades going to the leafs.
5.) 27 Jun 2025 19:31:41
Goat. Yes, there should be some big D available where the Leafs pick.
24 Jun 2025 16:09:40
Isn't it funny how we went from talking about adding guys like Bennett and Marchand to now talking about guys like mangiapane lol
1.) 24 Jun 2025 20:45:51
As said earlier, we don't expect alot. I don't mind mangiapanne at the right price. Plays with some heart, local guy and Typically 40-50 pts. Add Jeannot as well hopefully. Probably resign JT. Still room for Marchand. Move on from Kampf
Could have a top 9 of
Knies Matthews Mangi
McMann JT Nylander
Domi Laughton Marchand.
2.) 24 Jun 2025 22:21:54
I'm really not sure about Marchand. How much is he going to be offered? I wouldn't want to give term or move than around 5m/ year at his age.
3.) 24 Jun 2025 23:08:26
Marchand to leafs
4 yrs 32 million.
4.) 24 Jun 2025 23:19:54
LL. Of course. Term and money need to make sense.
5.) 25 Jun 2025 03:12:02
4 years 32 million being one of those things I don't want to see lol.
20 Jun 2025 01:04:48
Leafs miss out on marchment the cost was minimal idk really what treliving is gonna do but hopefully it's something worth a damn
11 Jul 2025 17:35:23
They want Cowan and I just don’t think 32-33 year old rust is worth it.
06 Jul 2025 11:30:20
So you wanna give up one of our two goalies for middle six prospect’s?
03 Jul 2025 12:21:45
It’s not horrible but I think you’d be wise to look at the fact that the players coming back are older and signed to less term how many more 30 goal seasons do rust and rackell have in them?
03 Jul 2025 12:16:21
Is Josh Anderson the guy tho I know he’s big and plays a heavy game but that about all he’s got.
02 Jul 2025 12:45:18
Hey Bert scored 23 goals last year in a crap Chicago team he was an impactful player on the leafs in the playoffs say what you want but at that cap hit he’s still a good player.
06 Jul 2025 11:36:07
@LL I did see that do you think the leafs just walk away from him?
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.
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.
02 Jul 2025 12:48:32
There wasn’t no names out there that would of been the impactful players you are looking for jeannot got 3.5 guy hasn’t scored enough goals to match his goal total in his first year lol leafs are fine they will make another trade move off some guys and try and add a 2nd/ 3rd liner.
01 Jul 2025 23:18:00
I’m all for not spending on July 1 but I thought some of the deals were unnecessary let some of these kids in junior come play for the marlies.
