Tor: Benoit, Maccelli, 2027 5th
StL: 2026 3rd, 2027 4th
Simple move out peices for futures.
1.) 01 May 2026 19:05:47
I want to see Maccelli for one more year with a different coach that isn’t line juggling every other game.
2.) 01 May 2026 21:19:49
Wow LeafsGM we are the opposite on every opinion on this team. We were suppose to change our identity and went out and got Maccelli? Big mistake, Utah knew it too. That’s why he sat half the year before he left. Leafs need to lose guys like Maccelli and trade Nylander and don’t look back.
This isn’t soccer @LeafsGM, you need to be tough and have some heart in hockey and your two favourite players there don’t have it. They should be playing soccer with you
3.) 01 May 2026 23:39:17
Totall agree with you, Clarky. It's pretty much time to warm up the bus for out of town departures.
4.) 02 May 2026 14:28:02
Never played soccer outside of gym class.
5.) 02 May 2026 14:50:07
Soccer is a game I probably hate the most and yes we have different opinions as for my favourite players Gretzky was my favourite player I think he won the cup maybe not and as I recall wasn’t the toughest player out there he was the smartest for sure.
We do agree Mo has to go
6.) 02 May 2026 16:21:21
Leafsgm, Brett Gretzky never won a cup.
7.) 02 May 2026 18:44:29
I won't take away from Gretzky's accomplishments. Yes he was not the toughest but he had Semenko to allow him a lot of extra space to be the player he was. He also had one of the greatest assembly of players put together by Glen Sather playing with him. Also worth pointing out is that as massive of point totals he put up. After he got traded the team didn't collapse as you possibly think Toronto will if one of Matthews or Nylander gets traded. Edmonton won the cup 2 years later without him. Messier was still there amongst others. Messier then of course won another cup in New York. Wayne on the other hand never won another in the final 11 years after he left Edmonton and actually missed the playoffs in 4 of those and would have been 5 had he not been traded to St.
Louis just before the Trade Deadline.
So when you say Gretzky won "the" cup. He did not win "the" cup. He was a huge part of the "Team" that won "the" cup multiple times and that "Team" won it again without him.
Toronto is not a dynasty type team like that of Edmonton's but it does show that a team does not have to collapse because one of their key parts is gone. We will survive but it will be a tougher climb than Edmonton had because we don't have their depth and unlike that era, there are Salary Caps and Free agency and No trade contracts in this era, which makes that climb harder but with the right General Manager not insurmountable.
8.) 02 May 2026 21:22:35
Correct?
9.) 02 May 2026 21:53:42
Exactly my point saying Nylander isn’t tough enough it’s the whole team that wasn’t tough enough and it’s not his job to be like Gret and Semenko and McSorley. Not sure if it was you who wrote Nylander is selfish, lazy, uncoachable.
Well he lead the team in assists, no professional athlete can be called lazy in my opinion, and the entire Leafs team look uncoachable last year lol because we had the wrong guy doing it.
10.) 02 May 2026 23:51:50
That was not me that wrote that.
27 Apr 2026 19:17:00
Tor: Nylander, Rielly, Quillan 3rd
Club: Marchenko, Werenski.
1.) 27 Apr 2026 19:38:43
I like it although I think Columbus might want our First in 2027. We cog from Colorado to make it fly rather than that 3rd.
2.) 28 Apr 2026 00:08:50
Can’t imagine Columbus even considering such a trade.
Nylander’s extremely casual attitude towards the game does not fit, in any way, with Bowness’s complaint about Columbus players not “hating to lose” enough.
People also tend to forget that Nylander will be turning 30 next week.
His prime is coming to an end.
I definitely agree that Leafs should trade him, I simply don’t see his fit in Columbus, particularly for that substantial a return.
3.) 28 Apr 2026 18:25:22
@wb What if you considered it model Ike Nylander for Werenski, then Marchenko for Quillan, draft picks, and Rielly.
25 Apr 2026 00:50:04
Tor: Nylander
Utah: Guenther, Tij Iginla, 2026 3rd (Car), 2027 3rd (Tor)
This move gives Utah the super star they don't have. Leafs get back a skilled replacement, and a new top prospect with time to get into the NHL if he's not ready. And 2 more draft picks to work with to address our other needs.
1.) 25 Apr 2026 12:42:28
Have you watched Dylan Guenther? He is the Super Star they do have. When he scores the majority of the time it is a clutch goal at a huge point in a game. He is one player they would not trade. If you wanted to add Nylander to that team without touching Guenther or Cooley you would have a scary team. They aren't to shabby without Nylander. They have a vast amount of prospects and draft picks that if Leafs went full rebuild they could change the look of our team for years.
I would get full greedy and say 'We will trade you Nylander for Cole Beaudoin, Tij Inginla, and Caleb Desnoyers that is 3 1st round guys that also played extremely well as a line at WJC's once they were united as a combination by Dale Hunter.'
2.) 25 Apr 2026 13:01:33
Would pass on that trade and instead do Beaudoin, Desnoyers and Simashev.
It might take a bit of sweetner since those are very highly touted prospects, but I'd pass on the winger Iginla and go with the centres and the D.
23 Apr 2026 18:12:55
Tor: Carlo, Robertson
Ana: McTavish, Procyszyn
How's this look for a young NHL ready center. He could slot in the 2c/ 3c which could hopefully keep Knies in the system, unless we use Knies to fill out other major hole for a #1 dman. And bring back a young 6"2 RW/ C that skates hard and hits, captianed Battalion to 2nd.
1.) 23 Apr 2026 18:30:38
I have not been a huge fan of McTavish in the larger trades mentioned but to be honest... This trade would be a good one for the Leafs. We are giving up 2 players that fans are ready to run out of town.
McTavish is a fit for what we are giving up and I like Procyszyn. His numbers to most people are not eye popping but North Bay committed its system to a defense oriented team and it did get them to the 2nd round.
2.) 23 Apr 2026 18:34:44
Yeah, and he had a solid playoff as well. But ran into the powerhouse Brantford. My biggest concern is McTavish wakes up and goes on a run this playoffs (I actually have Anaheim eliminating Edmonton).
3.) 23 Apr 2026 20:49:32
I'd do that deal somehow I don't think the Ducks will.
4.) 24 Apr 2026 01:10:05
Johnny, it was literally 2 weeks ago McTavish was a healthy scratch. And there top 2 RHD (Gudas, Trouba) are UFA and play a similar game. But older.
5.) 24 Apr 2026 19:03:39
McTavish is a great target, especially if you can buy low right now.
Will it be a slow as proposed, not sure on that.
I'd love to get McT and Luneau back in a deal. MacT could still end up a good, physical #2C in the likes of Bennett. I still believe Luneau has top 4 potential and could be dangerous on the PP.
6.) 25 Apr 2026 01:00:59
@rlf You'd like Ethan Pro, he's a 6'2 tucker. His skating could use a little work, but he's 19 and very well rounded and feisty player. If your liking Luneau so much, I think Anaheim likes him too, and they are pretty short right hand dmen with Trouba and Gudas being UFA.
I've also done some deep diving into Raddysh, he's got a boomer of a point shot. Leads the league in most 90-100m/ph by an embarrassing number (91, 2nd place is Bouchard @51). He's also top 10 in 80-90m/ph. Only 1 over 100, tied for 6th. I'm hoping he hits the free market.
7.) 25 Apr 2026 02:35:27
I assume you are talking about Procyszyn. And yes, I mentioned him on here a while ago. Luneau is someone I have been taking about for a couple of years. I am aware of Anaheim's right side being their weakness. That is why I wanted Luneau a couple years ago. If they resign Trouba and Carlson, right side isn't so weak.
21 Apr 2026 17:45:29
Tor: Knies
Chi: 2026 1st Rd pick.
1.) 21 Apr 2026 18:52:41
It would take more than a top 5 pick to pry Knies away, but it'd be a start.
One thing is that if the Leafs are giving up Knies for a player who may not even play next year, then that signals a rebuild, at which point, 88 & 34 are on the move too.
2.) 21 Apr 2026 20:22:21
The pick is currently #2. Gives us much better leverage to draft a ultra skilled prospect and trade for a legit #2 center.
3.) 21 Apr 2026 21:39:01
So you are trading Knies for a #1 pick. I get your statement about drafting an ultra skilled prospect. But how does this trade allow us to trade for a #2 center?
4.) 21 Apr 2026 22:39:50
I wish there was an option for a thumbs down ?
5.) 21 Apr 2026 23:38:58
I have thought that for a while, Clarky.

Anyone else starting to feel like this season is going to end up as a wash and they just trade out their UFAs to bring in assets.
1.) 29 Nov 2023 13:12:10
Hrenklin. We are basically having this discussion below. So, yea, I think a few of this could see this happening.
01 Oct 2023 20:53:55
philippe myers was placed on waivers. might be a decent pick up for a big bodied RHD.
1.) 01 Oct 2023 22:34:02
Always liked the idea of Myers as bottom pair D. jeans gave passed on him before . might be time with timmins injury . if only he used that big frame of his more than ge does.
2.) 02 Oct 2023 00:17:17
Not a big fan of Myers. I'd rather keep what we have.
3.) 02 Oct 2023 01:58:55
I've always liked P. Myers. Seemed to have all the tools etc, but just fell off the cliff. Confidence issue? The $1.4M contract is a problem.
20 Aug 2023 16:07:25
so ive ben thinking
which players would you consider trading knies for? i know hes a young prospect that doesnt look out of place on the leafs, but, we need to upgrade.
id consider knies for a few players if it came with multiple years of service
trouba: is exactly the type of player the leafs need. still has 3 years on his contrat and is NYR rangers captian so its a pipe dream.
but in a deal for like Elias lindholm (50% retained this year) at 6yr x 8m extension or 7x7 for knies and a 1st would be a considearion. or in a larger package for like bedard or something absolutely crazy.
who would you guys trade him for?
1.) 20 Aug 2023 16:38:26
I'd trade him for a lot of players. The main issue is finding a team that has a solid top6/ 4 peice, they don't want, and he has to be on a rebuilding team.
2.) 20 Aug 2023 16:55:23
Hrenklin. Good question. Definitely Lindholm would be one I would consider as long as Lindholm will extend as you said. Then it would be moving Willy for younger prospects and hopefully a D.
In a package to get Dobson, I would possibly.
He is not untouchable to me, but not far off because our prospect pool is so bad for guys with size that can play.
3.) 22 Aug 2023 18:07:26
Had to think about this one for a few days. tough thing about moving Knies is the cap issues we have. so can't just be moving knies out. would still need to move Willy out. I think I'd move move him and maybe a first for Konecny. we would not need Knies if top six is like this.
Bertuzzi. Matthews. Marner
Domi. Tavares. konecny
Then maybe Willy can be moved for a topD like Dobson and something to improve bottom 6.
4.) 23 Aug 2023 01:56:35
I agree with all here.
It's a very interesting suggestion, especially because of how his end of season/ playoffs went.
Very good topic @Hrenklin
As much as I like Knies, he could be one of many that start out fantastic, and turn to poo. It's worth a look at least.
5.) 23 Aug 2023 03:14:01
@LL I agree. likethevudea if Knies and the fact he played as well as he did just jumping onto the team and blending in so well. he's at hs highest potential in a way as everyone expects good things and he worked out well. night be time to strike when iron is hot. he plays the coaches style if hockey in a rebuilding teamwhere as my original idea of moving willy there does not fit theur rebuild. konecny wont come cheap. so maybe konecny at 50% for Knies to ertson and a 1st round pick. then move Willy ut for defensive D. I like Dobson but is he not more of an offensive Dman?
03 Dec 2022 15:51:13
Thoughts on claiming Myers from the waiver wire. 2.5m is pricy, but, we can probably make some things works once players get healthy.
1.) 03 Dec 2022 22:52:43
Leafs cannot make any waiver claim at the moment.
They have 50 contracts.
31 Jul 2021 00:21:18
So what are the leafs going to give up to get pk subban at the deadline 50% retained? I think that's the top trick up dubas's sleeve.
1.) 31 Jul 2021 06:29:41
What's the point in adding PK? Is it so he can play 3rd pair?
2.) 31 Jul 2021 11:43:40
Kyle wants everyone to see him do his stupid skating drills irl so everyone can laugh.
3.) 31 Jul 2021 12:18:14
@LG lmao.
06 May 2026 04:11:06
I'd need a younger center coming back.
03 May 2026 18:18:32
So the Leafs have needed a top tier dman for 20 years and your idea is to draft a center?
And Trouba won't come to Toronto. I think he will resign in Anaheim.
02 May 2026 16:21:21
Leafsgm, Brett Gretzky never won a cup.
29 Apr 2026 23:19:41
I'd be trying to get Wthan Procyszyn in any deal with Anaheim.
29 Apr 2026 17:07:38
Not giving up Cowen. But I do know Anaheim could use a RHD, so using Carlo+ would be more cost efficient.
