I still would absolutely love Tristan Luneau on the Leafs. I’d easily give up
2028 1st (col)
Noah Chadwick.
1.) 17 Jul 2026 13:11:26
While a lot of people love Luneau, I would not give up that for him. Chadwick was one of if not the most improved of our prospects that went to the next level eg. Junior to AHL or AHL to NHL. Adding the First even if it falls in the 25 to 32 range is still a First and the only one we have. That is a lot to give up for a d-man that has played 14 total NHL games.
From Anaheim's perspective... they are so low on D-men that he is slotted in on their top 4 pairing this year. If anything they need veterans defensemen but still want to hang onto young prospects.
I don't see them swapping a prospect for a prospect. If his numbers from the AHL translate to the NHL then I will say I was wrong.
What I saw in Chadwick during the Calder Cup was a very smooth composed Defensemen than never panicked under checking pressure. He still has a lot more to give offensively from the point as well but worked with the coaches to concentrate in his first pro year on his defense. He and Danford are very similar d-men in the calmness they bring at young ages.

No thank you. Too much for Luneau.
3.) 18 Jul 2026 07:27:15
Very fair point. I just think Luneau is gonna be a stud. We don’t need another dman like Chadwick right now, we have too many good solid guys that have little to no offensive upside lol. Luneau put up 52 points in 59 games in the AHL and then 41 in 70 the next year with 10 goals. I’d love to add a guy like him.

Just curious if you got to any Marlies games this year Matty? I caught about 10 if them live. Chadwick is certainly not a dman with little or no offensive side to him. With a year under his belt and I can see him in that 40 point range this year in the AHL. I like that Gruden held him back a bit to concentrate on the defensive side of the pro game.
As the year went you could see him get better and better. I liked how his shots from the point are almost like passes in that they are low and deflected easily. But also harder for a goalie to spot in traffic. He actually reminds me a lot of Ekblad.

This is just a proposal I don’t want any part of it but I’d bet any money San Jose is offering
1st overall (for)
To SJS for
2nd Overall + 9th Overall
That way we could take Stenberg and Smits rather than just McKenna or package that #9 + Col 1st + a prospect or high pick got Robert Thomas.
We still get an elite winger for Matthews and we get a guaranteed top 4 dman or a guy like Robert Thomas. I’d rather take McKenna but you can bet your bottom dollar San Jose is asking about bringing McKenna in to play with Celebrini.
1.) 24 Jun 2026 12:00:27
I think u are on ??.
24 Jun 2026 11:20:26
Reilly + Carlo + 1st (col) +2026 2nd
To Anaheim for
Mason McTavish + Drew Helleson
Stolarz + Robertson +2027 2nd
To Edm for
Matthew Savoie +2027 3rd
Knies + 2026 3rd +2027 3rd
To Buf for
4th overall + Zach Benson + rights to Tuch yes this is unrealistic but Chayka has said he needs to be blown away for a Knies trade so I’m pretending he was blown away
Draft McKenna 1st
Draft Reid 4th
Sign Tuch 5x9.5
Sign Bob 3x4
McKenna-Matthews-Tuch
Benson-McTavish-Nylander
Savoie-Tavares-Cowan
Joshua-Groulx-Maccelli
OEL-Raddysh
McCabe-Tanev
Andrae-Helleson / Reid will be herein 1-2 years,
Just some bulls***tin I don’t expect any of this to happen but this offensive core and even the d core would be absolutely elite.
Sign Bobrovsky for 3 years until Akhtyamov and Hildeby are in their prime.
1.) 24 Jun 2026 12:01:06
Matty seriously go away.
23 Jun 2026 00:29:42
These are pretty unrealistic but Chayka said he’d need to be blown away to trade Knies so here are some “realistic” trades that would blow them away
Knies for
Simon Nemec + Dawson Mercer + 12th overall
4th overall (CHI) + Artyom Levshunov
2nd overall (SJS) + Cagnoni
Shane Wright + 19th ovr (Utah) + Daniil But
Mason McTavish + Tristan Luneau + 2027 + 2028 1st
21 Jun 2026 02:46:23
In my opinion the Leafs entire future depends on getting 1, preferably 2 more picks in the first round this year. The amount of defensemen in the 1st round is insane. You can snatch a guy like Villeneuve in the late first or Tommy Bleyl.
Carlo for a pick in the 22-32 range
Stolarz + Robertson + 2nd
For
A goalie + pick from 17-25
Draft 2 of
Xavier Villeneuve
Tommy Bleyl
Juho Piiparinen
Ben MacBeath
Ryan Lin
Replace Carlo very easily in free agency with Jamie Oleksiak or someone else and then in 2-3 years when we get McDavid (lol) these guys will be ready to jump into the NHL and we have a great D core.

Am I playing in net then?

Just 2 potential top 6 for the future
McKenna-Matthews-Knies
Tuch/Cowan-Tavares-Nylander
Cowan/Tuch-McDavid-Nylander
McKenna-Matthews-Knies
If I'm McDavid I'm 100 percent coming to the Leafs to form one of the greatest top 6 of all time.
1.) 13 May 2026 20:25:23
Of all time? Let’s just see if we can get past the first round first.
2.) 17 May 2026 19:10:36
You got the lines wrong.
McKenna McDavid McCowan
McKnies McMatthews McNylander
Finish off the 12.
McMann McBain McGroarty
McLeod McCann McCarron.
10 Aug 2026 05:25:09
I don’t know if you’re doing ok in the head if you think Vancouver would do this. ?
10 Aug 2026 04:31:17
Cirelli would take Cowan + 2027 1st + 2028 2nd ++, I wouldn’t do it though.
10 Aug 2026 04:24:05
This is horrible and there’s no logic behind it at all.
28 Jul 2026 00:50:27
This return is awful,
28 Jul 2026 00:48:47
Why would any free agent sign here if they could be traded before the season started ?
06 May 2026 08:57:00
What??? McKenna is a complete stud you have to draft him. The only way I’d take a d is if we move down for a good haul from Vancouver and get a top prospect and the 3rd pick for 1. But still m taking McKenna 100 percent of the time.
