Tor: nemiela, 2025 2nd
Pitts: rakell
Could make an option to add hirvonen for Dubas to have the rights of he wants to return.
1.) 17 Jun 2025 23:28:10
Rakell: 35g, 35a, 70pts
Niemala has no value.
Hirvonen has signed in Finland.
I don’t think a 2nd round pick will get it done.

tor: robertson, benoit
Col: lehkonen
so i looked at the playoff stats between marchment and lehkonen. I think arturri look slike a much better target. both teams are in the same cap position, 1.9m in space to fill 6/ 7 roster spots. this deal help both teams, col end up with 2 players at a combined 2.75m cap space, and leafs open an aditional spot on the blue line to sign ekblad.
1.) 17 Jun 2025 23:32:55
Absolutely no way Colorado trades a player as valuable as Lehkonen who was their 1st line LW for much of this year.
Especially not for pennies on the dollar!

tor: robertson, Akhtyamov, noah
buf: tuch
leafs need to get creative to trade for decent players, tuch makes good target for RW. he hits jsut under once per game, but he blocks 1.3 shots per game. big 65 point scorer.
leafs give up scratch and score robertson, and one of our goalie prospects, aswell as what looks like a really nicely developing defenseman
buffalo is pretty solid down the middle, and might be interetsed in some extra depth on defense and goal.
1.) 16 Jun 2025 01:44:13
Cast offs and AHL players for Alex Tuch?
Even Kevyn Adams isn’t that bad a GM.
11 Jun 2025 15:01:41
Tor: McMann Kampf, 2025 3rd
Dal: Marchment
------------
Tor: Holmberg, Robertson. Voit, 2026 5th
Veg: howden
_________
Sign roslovic 4x4
A new look 3rd line with some size, and a nose for the net.
1.) 12 Jun 2025 01:30:34
Definitely like to see Marchment return to the Leafs.
Another terrible trade by Dubas sending him to Florida for the 165 pound, Smurf, Denis Malgin.
It made no sense whatsoever.
2.) 12 Jun 2025 12:01:38
Dallas won't want to take money back. They're trying to dump salary.
3.) 12 Jun 2025 12:30:51
@wb you're using hindsight years later. We didn't know what he would be when he was traded. We could probably keep Kampf.
4.) 12 Jun 2025 23:57:40
Hrenklin
No hindsight involved.
I said it at the time that it was another bad decision by Dubas simply based on the fact that Leafs needed physicality in the worst way and Marchment was 6’5”, 212 pounds while Malgin was 5’10”, 165 pounds.
It didn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that Thai was an exceedingly bad move!
5.) 13 Jun 2025 09:01:12
@Hrenklin I don't think anyone thought that was a good trade at the time either. It was obviously brutal. Margin had zero upside and Marchment had a chance to be a middle 6 guy. Dubas just made the trade to do him a favour.
6.) 13 Jun 2025 11:50:18
I would rather keep McMann. I know most are down on him because he didn't produce in the playoffs, but his size, speed and contract make him valuable.
As for the Marchment trade, I hated it from the start and said so on this site as well as others did on here back then.
7.) 13 Jun 2025 12:01:13
To me McMann is who we want to be a Marchment, so why not trade him for the player we want him to be. It's getting pathetic watching everyone complain about the leafs doing the same thing over and over again but don't want to trade anyone because they like failure apparently.
8.) 13 Jun 2025 12:36:19
Hrenklin. I don't mean keep McMann over Marchment. I mean have both. McMann is not a long time part of this team, like the core. Last year was only his second season with the Leafs and 1st full-time. McMann was part of the change we have been wanting. More size and speed that will play the body and battle along the boards and in front of the net. Removing him and replacing him with Marchment is a more sideways than moving forward. Having both is moving forward. Knies, McMann, Laughton, Marchment and try to sign Jeannot and then we have more balance around Matthews, Nylander and if JT is back.
As for wanting change, I have been one of the most vocal on here for change for years now.
9.) 14 Jun 2025 02:25:24
I decided on McMann cuz Robertson to Dallas for them to trade his brother was a not gonna happen trade.
05 Jun 2025 18:29:10
Tor: McMann, Benoit, Kampf, 2025 3rd
Ana: zegras, 1m retained
Sign: roslovic 3x4m, kapanen 4x 1.3m
New look 3rd line, from the skill of zegras to compliment thespeed and defensive responsibility. And I think it's time for the return of kappy.
1.) 05 Jun 2025 20:32:43
I would think there has to be a high end prospect or pick added by Anaheim before the Leafs should consider it.
2.) 06 Jun 2025 01:01:24
I think Zegras’s attitude is exactly what the Leafs are trying to distance themselves from.
Kapanen is having a good run on one of the best two teams in hockey.
Put him back in his regular slot on the 3rd or 4th line and he will return to what he has always been in his career.
No thanks.
3.) 06 Jun 2025 05:46:53
What WB said.
4.) 06 Jun 2025 15:12:39
Kappy was great when we had him. Had to trade him because of the core 4 contracts.

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.
20 Jun 2025 14:36:27
**** all folignos.
20 Jun 2025 11:27:04
I'd be targetting rakell.
19 Jun 2025 12:42:44
Not gonna happen. thry screwed the pooch on getting anything for marner.
18 Jun 2025 16:10:03
Edmonton should trade for Gibson next week.
17 Jun 2025 22:41:51
I'm thinking maybe sign burns to a 1yr 1m contract instead for the bottom (? ) Pair.
