So, Carlo to St Louis for 2 3rd round picks, more cap space what’s next???
1.) 27 Jun 2026 16:54:09
Hopefully a youth movement in the back end with 22 million to upgrade on both sides of the puck.
2.) 27 Jun 2026 16:58:44
As soon as the traded Carlo, I said to my son-in-law, “They are gonna draft McKenzie with one of those picks. He will be on Marlies this year but our future Dmen are starting to get depth.”
3.) 27 Jun 2026 17:27:18
Absolutely great pick
4.) 27 Jun 2026 17:56:37
I like the fact that he and Danford were paired and played well together at the WJC’s.
5.) 27 Jun 2026 17:58:02
Great trade
Mopping up the moron Treliving’s idiotic move
Mackenzie and Danford should be on the blue line in 2027-28
Like all the moves since Chayka was hired
Especially the draft picks
Good mix on defensive picks and saw Olsen play 4 times
He is a pain in the xxx? to play against
If he can find a little more finish he will for sure be a 4th line centre or third line winger
A breathe of fresh air since the dimwit got canned
6.) 27 Jun 2026 20:20:31
Right, it’s great they there’s been something some genuine improvement. I know a lot of people were stunned at the hiring of our new GM but he’s actually pulling triggers and making moves.
7.) 27 Jun 2026 20:31:42
With the players picked in this draft we should also give Props to Mark Leach who they left intact as Director of Amateur Scouting. Those guys don't sometimes get the credit they deserve.
8.) 27 Jun 2026 20:37:35
Well said Suffer.
25 Jun 2026 11:57:08
If Knies is going still could see Buffalo as the destination. I’m thinking with Benson signed, it comes back to a trade surrounding 4OA and, as per Chayka, a dman in Mrtka and McLeod and or Krebbs. I think we may add potentially slightly for both fwds but this is the bassist.
Top 10 pick Dman additional fwd. Does this deal go yay or nay? Btw Mrtka looks to be very similar to a Mo Seider type. This is extremely appealing!
1.) 25 Jun 2026 13:26:44
They r not trading for Knies. Especially not Buffalo.
2.) 25 Jun 2026 14:40:38
I’m hearing from a buddy who lives just outside San Jose that the last few days they have heard the Sharks and Buffalo looking to swap #2 and the #27 they got from Buffalo in Kesselring deal for #4 and Krebs or McLeod.
Kinda makes sense. Gives San Jose more forward depth, allows them to drop down to #4 to grab a defenseman and they still have #9 as well.
Buffalo can then take either Stenberg or McKenna whoever the Leafs don’t take. There is speculation as well if that happens Buffalo might offer #2 and something else for Knies. In another universe possibly but who knows the NHL world is off its axis.
3.) 25 Jun 2026 15:13:40
Is this buddy of yours Mike Grier? Lol
4.) 25 Jun 2026 15:24:08
Actually it doesn’t make any sense what so ever ???
5.) 25 Jun 2026 15:48:35
So the rationale they were talking about on the radio show he was listening to was the more depth (and they are very deep) at forwards was they could then go after a Stud defenseman in a package deal with 2 roster forwards and Dickinson. Werenski’s name kept coming up.
6.) 25 Jun 2026 21:51:36
If they got the 4th they pick a defenseman.
23 Jun 2026 11:59:50
K boys…. I’m seriously sick to my stomach listening to the Carlo rumours. Now, unfortunately I have to rehash this just so everyone relives this bad dream and is on the same page. Toronto and that idiot that sat on his hands every other time but thought in a span of 30 mins of this is what it’d take to pry him from Boston's hands. Toronto's first in 26’ top 5 protected thank freakin god fwd Fraser Minton and a forth rounder for Bos Carol with 40% retention or 50%. So, there’s that.
Now I hear Leafs should be moving Carlo and San Jose is the most likely destination? Said the compensation will likely be a 3rd rounder and a B lvl prospect??? Wtf!!! Like if if it’s San Jose don’t cha think maybe Chase that 20th OA pick??? He’s right handed big and cheap! I know he’s sucked and his injury history is pretty concerning but no?? Like, he plays a premium position and is heavily discounted as per us giving our 1st and Minton to acquire him. Am I wrong? Thoughts?
1.) 23 Jun 2026 12:10:44
That 20th overall from San Jose has already been traded to Buffalo for Kesselring and the 27th.
2.) 23 Jun 2026 12:34:00
Just to remind everyone, Carlo played much better and had better numbers when he wasn’t playing beside Rielly!
3.) 23 Jun 2026 12:49:36
For me two things are clear in the Carlo scenario.
One is that we can’t live in the past! The Carlo was a bad, bad move and result. So trade him for the best return and live with adding something to the prospect pool. Send him to the Ducks for a R3 2026 and Maxim Masse who was a R3 in 2024.
Second reason is Carlo can be very easily replaced in the UFA market for less money. Andrew Peeke is available as a RD, or wrecking ball Jeremy Lauzon as a LD. The latter also fills Benoit’s checking skill by almost 100 hits!
I’m okay with this!
4.) 23 Jun 2026 13:54:21
Most fans weren't complaining about the Carlo trade when it happened. Sure, let's hand over a future 1st round pick and a prospect on a guy whose main attribute is being physical, but has had 3-4 concussions, and also has hands of concrete.
What could go wrong.
And as far as him playing better when he wasn't with Reilly, how many different D partners do we need to get Morgan before we admit he's the liability?
5.) 23 Jun 2026 14:24:14
Ironically, because the pick was top 5 protected in the Carlo trade, the trade is now Minten and a 27 or 28 1st for Carlo ($600K retained and (likely) McKenna). A trade almost everyone would want the Leafs to do.
6.) 23 Jun 2026 14:51:18
Like most deals, we have disagreement on the trade’s merits.
Personally, I didn’t like it when it happened and I still feel Carlo can attract something decent and be easily replaced in UFA market. To me that is asset management.
7.) 23 Jun 2026 15:47:28
I might be way off but right now with Carlo entering his last year of contract before becoming a UFA. He might get us a 2nd or round pick in a straight up trade. As an add on in a trade package he might garner more. The other I might try for once Nurse is traded, is prying Ike Howard loose from Edmonton for Carlo. He replaces a left handed D at almost a 3rd of the cap if Nurse goes elsewhere.
It all depends what Edmonton gets back but their aim in trading him is to save cap space. Once Nurse is traded it will also serve as a rough barometer of what we might get for Reilly. Reilly could be a similar package because he also comes in at $2m less than Nurse.
8.) 23 Jun 2026 16:27:41
Everyone that understood hockey thought it was a huge overpay for Carlo and it’s been proven in his play and injuries. If u can get rid of him and get a decent return back Chayka will pull the trigger. He’s slowly what I think is get rid of old regime mistakes and bring in his own vision.
Don’t be surprised Maccelli, Joshua Robertson, Rielly, even Tanev, if there are takers, gets traded if he’s willing to wave which he won’t, might, but he’s an injury away from being muzzined.
9.) 23 Jun 2026 16:36:44
I agree. Tanev they say will be ready for camp but their aim in Muzzin scenario could very well happen. I just don’t see Tanev coming vac as the same type of shot blocker.
10.) 23 Jun 2026 16:39:19
Also if your stomach hurts so much take some Tums or Pepto Bismol. ???
14 Mar 2026 15:38:22
Sorry guys! I had commented Leafs need to circle a date next year to get Gudas. It’s actually March 30!!! We better have someone called up or ready for this to get him for Matthews period!
1.) 14 Mar 2026 17:17:37
Time to call up Blake Smith from the Marlies for an audition on March 30th.
2.) 14 Mar 2026 17:23:11
I’d like to see him as well.
Young, big and has some skill.
Let’s give many a look-see instead of playing Jarnkrok, Stecher, Myers, Joshua and a few other from time to time.
3.) 14 Mar 2026 22:02:09
His dad was pretty tough dude, but was not over the line with the fights, and having Keith and Wayne Primeau as your uncles there certainly is a lineage of toughness in that family lol. Love to see him make a debut against Gudas.
26 Jan 2026 16:01:19
I don’t think Matthews honestly wants to be in a Leafs jersey much longer and definitely not past this 4yr contact that expires 2028’. So here’s a couple players I’ve mentioned I’m curious what you guys think of this
Leafs Matthews 50% retention on his 2 remaining yrs
For this huge retention
Ducks B Sennecke, R McQueen, Stian Solberg
Future first line or worst 2nd line C and first line RW with a Top 4 D man. Think Sennecke can play C too. Remember Sennecke is on his ELC so paying 34 for 2 more yrs and getting Solberg for doing so doesn’t hurt.
1.) 26 Jan 2026 19:35:16
Are you from another planet? ??? that is the most ridiculous package I’ve ever seen so far for Matthews here. Not only is that not enough but 50% retention to boot. Are you for real? ????.
2.) 26 Jan 2026 19:48:09
You and JB123 need to sit back and be observers and stop posting ridiculous and outlandish trades.
3.) 26 Jan 2026 20:05:16
I like most of the deal, but, the leafs would need draft picks coming back aswell since trading Matthews with retention is a fireworks show stating rebuild.
4.) 26 Jan 2026 20:16:18
Blowhard u should stick to golf or volleyball bud. Your the worse. Lol and I bet u can blowhard. Lol good nickname wonder why that call you that.
5.) 26 Jan 2026 23:27:09
Hey blowhard…. Chill lil dude! My point is Sennecke is going to be really good so should the other two. I forgot Matthews garner the best return in the history of the NHL right? Tell me what then guy?
6.) 26 Jan 2026 23:39:15
I like the trade but feel the Ducks need to add a couple of future 2nd round picks.
A future top 6 Center, top 6 RW and a 2nd pairing defenseman (all on ELCs) is a good return for a player who doesn’t appear to really want to be a Leaf any more.
Add in a couple of 2nd round picks, 2026, 2028) and you can include me as a Leaf fan who wants to see a big roster shakeup.
Let’s do the same with Willie “The Finger” Styles.
Let the rebuild begin as this roster isn’t going anywhere but backwards.
By the way Blowhard, for a guy that makes as many questionable proposals as you do, you might want to consider being a little more polite.
7.) 27 Jan 2026 10:25:19
Should could would. Matthews is already elite. You r not retaining on him. That’s a fact. Plus his value is sky high to the contrary of what you ? may think. I’m convinced you three guys are the same person just posting the same nonsense. Cause you all seem to be responding to me in the same way with the same nonfactual gibberish. Water? u should just stop all together cause every time you post you don’t even have your facts straight or know which player is on which team. ????.
8.) 27 Jan 2026 12:48:23
Shouldn't be any need for retention on Matthews. Leafs take on Strome as well and Ducks also give Luneau and I would seriously consider it if I were the Leafs. Sennecke is a player as you said. Good size, pretty physical and very skilled.
9.) 27 Jan 2026 13:29:11
Blowhard24,
While I agree that trade is poorly constructed I think you are hilarious.
You do love to stir the pot claiming erroneously that you’re the only that is factual.
We’ve all read your posts and know that they are often not supported by fact but rather opinions. To say Matthews trade value is sky high is a perfect example of your bluster.
But it does clarify that the number 24 in your username is the number of beer you consume when you post.
Please continue to add to my comic relief and daily entertainment.
And I cannot wait until I get your response.
10.) 27 Jan 2026 17:11:21
Love this ?.
11.) 29 Jan 2026 01:41:19
Matthews to la for byfield Clarke prospect and 2 first.

04 Sep 2026 14:51:54
Anyone else concerned about the lack of someone to defend McKenna if he’s playing on either of our top lines? Knies maybe, but I feel we need a major deterrent. Ideas?
1.) 04 Sep 2026 13:38:22
Not really. Putting Ryan Reaves on the top line wouldn't stop Tkatchuk's/Bennet/Gudas was doing something dumb.
2.) 04 Sep 2026 18:33:30
You can't worry about that deterrent just for certain players. Best advice they can give him is to keep his head up and realize he is in the pros. Be aware of not only where the opposition is that want to hit him but be aware of the flow of his own teammates. Different size players different speed of players. Bedard can tell him what it is like when you take your off the play and look at the puck for a split second.
Best way to make them pay for trying to take a cheap shot is to avoid it by keeping head up and then making a good play right after it. It doesn't matter who you are if you try for a stupid hit and miss, every NHL coach will chew you out even if you are a Bennett or a Tkachuk.
3.) 04 Sep 2026 19:28:02
If the plan is to put Roslovic in the top 6, they don't really have a deterrent of any kind in their top 6 (not like they ever have). No one worries about Matthews, Nylander, JT, Roslovic or even Knies really. McKenna is obviously not going to deter anyone.
The only one with the speed to keep up and the will to engage would be Duhaime. And unless his puck skills magically got better this off-season, even with Matthews and McKenna for instance, he likely hits career highs of 10-15 goals and 30 ish points.
That puts JT with Willy and Knies. Roslovic goes to the 3rd line where I would assume he is with Paul and Cowan. 4th line of Joshua, Scissons and Blueger.
I have actually thought about this scenario before, but I doubt the Leafs would even consider it in pre-season.
4.) 04 Sep 2026 19:59:16
I was trying to make them tougher all off season, but Chayka didn’t listen. 1st player I would have went for is Anders Lee. Has the ability to put up 30 and won’t back down from absolutely anybody. Yea he is getting a little older but he has heart. The major organ that the Leafs are missing. That’s why I also suggested getting a sheriff on the back end, so if Bennett is taking liberties with McKenna, Logan Stanley could be on the ice to send a message back, but most people here want a soft team that puts up points in the regular season, unfortunately.
Not sure why, but I’m having a gut feeling this is going to be Reilly's best year as a Leaf, really thinking of picking him up for my fantasy teams too in the last round.
5.) 05 Sep 2026 21:01:16
@Clarky, What would you suggest? This team, to me, was extremely slow and heavy last year. They couldn't keep up with the pace of better teams.
I would also love to have a Tom Wilson, Tkathuk, type player on the top line, but those guys are so rare.
6.) 08 Sep 2026 20:17:32
@LL I did suggest Anders Lee would have been my target over Roslovic.
It’s funny to hear you say Tkachuk and Wilson are hard to get because they are so rare but you are willing to move Knies at 23yo.
7.) 09 Sep 2026 15:20:26
@Clarky I like Knies, but everyone has a price.
02 Nov 2025 15:12:34
We are in a bit of trouble here guys! Think bout it now I'm not totally in the know of what and where we're protected to but the Leafs have zero Firsts til 2028' Draft no Seconds and nothing really in the cupboards. What do we do?? Suggestions? Cause...
We should build around Knies Danford maybe Willy. Other than that it's a crap shoot. We have some other talents from this year draft capital actually but it's really still to early to tell for sure. Thoughts?
1.) 02 Nov 2025 18:46:15
I'm probably in the minority here, but I still like the make up of this team. Roy, Joshua seem to be getting better. Carlo is playing better. Cowan looks more comfortable. They are starting to play more physical. It would be nice to see a healthy roster to see what they really have.
2.) 02 Nov 2025 18:58:55
@RLF I haven't been as panicked as everyone else either, except for Mathews' situation.
This team can't do anything if he doesn't get it together.
3.) 02 Nov 2025 23:43:02
Agree on Cowan looking better.
Get some of the TBJ players in the D-Room to speak about what a TEAM can accomplish.
4.) 03 Nov 2025 01:54:54
I feel like Benoit and OEL have become such a liability and Reilly has just reverted back to what he was last year the blueline needs help more than anything but I’m interested in what the forward group looks like when healthy there’s a lot of bodies especially in the bottom 6 cupboards aren’t loaded with high end prospects but what I will say is what made teams like Tampa Pittsburg Chicago even Florida so good for so long was that they found guys later in the draft and I think the leafs have a few that could end up being something or nothing but none the less this team need to show consistency.
5.) 03 Nov 2025 02:35:39
I agree with RLF a bit here. Things are turning a corner. Roy, Joshua, Blais all playing well. Maccelli needs to get out of this lineup and off this team ASAP. He hurts whatever line he is on. If that Maccelli spot was filled with a Rust or Tuch I’d feel much better about this team.
30 Oct 2025 06:38:32
Elite?? NOPE not anymore!
Where's he go?
Tor
A Matthews traded to ? For ?
1.) 30 Oct 2025 15:41:27
Mathes for a bag of pucks if he doesn't get his game back soon. Over a year of this now.
2.) 31 Oct 2025 20:29:31
I wonder if whatever ailed him has caused a change in how he is able to release the puck. And is it permanent or still healing is the big concern. He doesn't look or handle the puck with confidence like he used to.
That said, he needs to be more physically dominant. He's a big, strong man who plays small too many shifts. If he isn't able to do what he used to, then find an effective way to contribute differently.
3.) 01 Nov 2025 01:10:06
@RLF the one thing I wonder about is 4 nations. He actually looked a lot better in that tournament than he did before or after.
13 Jul 2025 15:20:05
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.
1.) 13 Jul 2025 23:56:18
Henry, I’m so with you on this one. But it would have to be a sign and trade and he would clean out our remaining asset cupboards.
Cowan, OEL, Jarnkrok, 2026 3rd rd pick, 2027 2nd rd pick
OR
Danford, Maccelli, Koblar, Jarnkrok, 3rd rd pick, 2nd rd pick.
2.) 16 Jul 2025 03:11:52
I'm sure it would take Knies. Anaheim wants to compete now and would want a comparable piece.
Knies top 6 LW
McTavish top 6 C
Would you do it?
3.) 16 Jul 2025 14:09:25
Yea I agree with Tags here. I think Anaheim would want a forward that will be impactful over a prospect and bottom 6 type of players.
19 May 2025 01:06:10
Watching game 7 and ENOUGH already. Blow it up I can't take it anymore. One collapse after another. I think after this we can finally say this core was rotten from the beginning. First things first, kick Shanahan outta office pack Mitch's bags. This team needs an overhaul.
04 Sep 2026 12:47:32
I think it makes a lot of sense, man. Joshua isn’t gonna, as well as hasn’t done much here, but would get more TOI in Calgary, which could beef up his trade value for the Flames. Stetcher and the 2nd are added bonuses for larger moves later, and you’re right, I think Whitecloud helps us with size and some backend physicality, and he’ll drop gloves! That’s a big plus we need! Good prop.
01 Sep 2026 10:49:22
100% right Champ! We’re Not trading Knies for that package just to search and scorch the earth trying to find another one like him again later. The only way Knies goes is for a top 10 draft pick next year's draft or top 10 the following plus a true Stud defensemen period.
Players like him locked in at a steal of a AAV that’ll put up 65pts plus don’t come around often. Plus he’s not in his prime yet! No deal!
01 Sep 2026 10:43:55
Guys I think we all believe Cowan is part of the future correct? As do I, now remember if this year goes off the rails and or we miss the playoffs or lose in the first round again I really think if not gone already he’s out the door in the summer Matthews will get us a young 1C and a youngish true #1 defensemen.
I think this is kinda what management believes also. There’s a lot of options that’ll come our way. ATM unfortunately patients is key the cards will be shown soon enough. One more thing u guys think Koblar is our next 2nd line C incoming? Kid looks Fire ?.
01 Sep 2026 10:36:58
@Champ Exactly what I was saying. I read perfectly what you said, GM78 just wasn’t a great or valid point.
30 Aug 2026 14:56:09
I don’t think so, I’m basing ur comments on Leafs looking like idiots for a Reilly, Karlsson swap? So, as long as we don’t resign him to some large extension that runs on par or further then Reilly's I think we’re fine. We get out from under both one by Reilly’s trade and EK by next summer with cap flexibility and new targets.
18 Dec 2025 10:16:19
@RLF LOL YIKES! This guys man. Guess he should just move on to another site then cause clearly he’s too cleaver for us.
18 Dec 2025 10:13:36
Wow! Topher chill man!
18 Dec 2025 10:11:34
Not necessarily straight to full rebuild but a few solid trades we can retool nicely and definitely head into a positive direction, one that includes being a playoff team a tight group a group with heart and will play for the crest on the jersey, and for the guy doing the same on the team beside u and finally for the fans the pay arms and legs for these leaf tickets. Character players is all I ask lol.
17 Dec 2025 12:52:48
You are right. Idk if Marner left bc of Matthews not caring. I think more that Matthews was the super star and not him but, clearly Matthews has zero heart shouldn’t be even in a Leadership position and at this point highly overpaid. This is worrisome bc we lost Mitch for nothing we can’t lose Matthews for nothing. Again
Tor A Matthews plus if needed to get it done
LA Q Byfield, B Clarke and L Greenetree
Make it happen Tre or this will set us back over a decade if AM walks for nothing or his value keeps dipping cause the league has taken notice of this clown.
15 Dec 2025 10:18:10
ParkG…… Man U said the truth there. I agree ?! I’ve had enough. I was one of those idiots who believed the hype. I also thought Matthews should wear the C. Man I have my head down. I can admit when I’m wrong and was I ever. It’s time for a change NOW! Those player mentioned all need to go!
