Cozens and Owen Power (25% retained)
Kamph, Domi, Niemela, Minten, Steeves, Robertson, 1st, Hildeby
Waive Reeves.
1.) 05 Feb 2025 21:34:49
I think the Leafs will miss out on Cozens. I figure for just him it starts as:
Cowen, hildeby, 1st just to start talking.
Next balancing money leafs currently have 3m ish space. Domi or Kampf would be a their choice. But I'm expecting Domi ends up staying, which isn't necessary a bad thing, his depth scoring might just be crucial when the playoffs roll around.
Next a real roster piece. This is the leafs biggest issue. McMann is doing well, and signed past next season. Leafs would prefer Robertson. Neither are the kind of return a player buffalo would really want for a player of Cozens skill. The next best option would be minten or maybe grebenkin, but I'm not sure buffalo would want players who aren't quite guaranteed roster players yet.
A true offer for Cozens would be
Kampf, McMann, 2026 1st, hildeby, Cowen. Which just doesn't seem like the kind of offer isn't interested.

???.
3.) 05 Feb 2025 21:42:30
I'd imagine that Buffalo would want a top 4D in return for Cozens alone and then the money has to work. But, I can't see any of Toronto's top 4 D not having Buffalo on their list.
4.) 05 Feb 2025 23:56:00
Domi’s depth scoring? lol.
5.) 06 Feb 2025 02:55:07
Cowan would be a great fit for the Leafs.
But at what cost?
To Leafs: Cozens ($7.1), Jokiharju ($3.1) = $10.2
To Buffalo: 2026 - 1st, 2025 - 2nd, Easton Cowan, Ben Danford.
Domi ($3.75 x 3), Kampf ($2.4 x 2), Jarnkrok ($2.1 x 1), Reaves ($1.35) = $9.55
Buffalo could put Domi on the trade block, Jarnkrok on LTIR and Reaves in the AHL.
Kampf could step into a bottom 6 center roll with the Sabres.
Very steep price but Cozens is only 25 and Jokiharju is 25.
So Leafs are acquiring 2 players not just for now but also for the future.
The cost also includes the dumping of four (4) of Treliving’s contractual mistakes. (Actually 3, Jarnkrok belongs to Dubas)
Knies - Matthews - Marner
McMann - Tavares - Nylander
Robertson - Cozens - I like Evangelista if Preds will part with him
Pacioretty - Dewar - Lorentz
Holmberg - Steeves
McCabe - Tanev
OEL - Jokiharju
Reilly - I like Desharnais, a cap matching piece from the Canucks - Pens deal.
Benoit - Timmins/ Meyers
To Predators: Grebenkin, 2025 - 5th
To Leafs: Evangelista (RW)
To Penguins: Meyers/ Timmins, 2026 - 3rd
To Leafs: Desharnais (RHD)
6.) 06 Feb 2025 03:08:37
Impossible. Our crud for 2 superstars. Is everybody on this site 12 years old? This person must have voted believable on their own post.
7.) 06 Feb 2025 09:26:39
Cozens a superstar? I think not.
8.) 06 Feb 2025 10:40:34
Domi's playoff performances:
2024: 4p in 7g
2023: 13p in 19g
2021: 6p in 13g
That's why I'm reluctant to trade Domi.
26 Dec 2024 14:43:34
Timmins, Jarnkrok and a second to Montreal for David Savard.
1.) 26 Dec 2024 19:38:36
I’m not moving Timmins for Savard one for one. Savard is not better at getting the puck out he just blocks more shots. Timmins is a better break out pass. And a lot younger and faster. Not too mention, cheap.
2.) 27 Dec 2024 02:09:34
Far to much for Savard who is a rental and needs to be resigned next summer.
3.) 27 Dec 2024 13:43:53
The second alone prob gets Savard. Savard plays ahead of Timmins all
Day.
31 Dec 2023 21:47:28
Leafs are either all in or they’re not. If they are that means they’re willing to sacrifice top prospects. Packages for Trenin, Lauzon and Sarros; or Konecny, Seeler and Hart will have to include Cowan and/ or Minten, niemiela, and Nylander.
1.) 31 Dec 2023 23:14:11
I wouldn't bother going all-in. Built in re-tool this off season. Move Willy for something with term and look towards next season.
14 Nov 2023 22:28:29
Not that I think Nylander gets traded but….
Nylander, Brodie, Klingberg and Minten to Flames for Lindholm, Tanev, Hanifan, and zadorov.
And of course sign Kane lol.
10 Nov 2023 13:11:10
I’ll throw out a Horseshak/ Kennedy trade for fun. Leafs go all in.
Samsonov, marner, Klingberg, niemela, Minten, steeves, Robertson, Timmins 1st in 2024 and 2025 to Flames
Markstrom, lindholm, Tanev and Hanifan to Leafs. Cgy retains 25% on Markstrom.
1.) 10 Nov 2023 14:56:16
You forgot to sign Kane. lol.
2.) 10 Nov 2023 18:51:15
Haha nice one Bob Mackin.
3.) 10 Nov 2023 19:43:33
Yes Kane, 7 years at the league minimum. And yes that’s a joke people.
4.) 10 Nov 2023 19:55:35
But he remembered the retention.

Marner as delusional as ever. They are a “great team”…. are you really Mitch? Keefe bragging about how well they played against Anaheim and SJ…. awesome. Anyone who thinks Keefe is not a huge part of the problem is nuts. No D zone structure. No heart. Outworked almost every game . This screams Craig Berube. ASAP. Leafs legit will be out of a playoff spot when western trip is over.
1.) 17 Jan 2024 18:21:27
What do you think they're going to say? It's hockey. They always give "hockey answers"
Let's get back to basics
We're a better team than we're showing
Having to show up on time
Blah blah blah.
It's all these guys have. No one gets mad at all.
14 Jan 2024 02:36:19
Was just like a playoff game tonight…. Core 4 did nothing . I still believe Keefe has to go asap.
1.) 14 Jan 2024 05:46:34
Man he makes some bone head decisions. When does putting those three together ever work? Run two lines in the 3rd period like you don’t have a back to back and in the busiest part of the schedule? Maybe he finally learn that he needs to spread around the lines but probably not.
2.) 14 Jan 2024 12:12:15
Keefe should have been fired after the Montreal series, simple as that.
3.) 14 Jan 2024 15:05:14
Agree with Tags. After that meltdown against MTL you fire the entire coaching staff+Dubas and Shanny, then move Marner and Possibly Willy as well. But, it is what it is now.
28 Nov 2023 13:12:06
Thankfully the Kane talk is over. He was never coming to Toronto and that’s a good thing. So much for him allegedly wanting to go to a contender. lol.
Leafs need to fire Keefe immediately. Hire Gallant. Then trade for two D and a goalie. Break the bank if you can get players with a year or two left on contracts. Overwhelm the flyers with an offer that gets you Hart and Walker, plus.
1.) 28 Nov 2023 20:15:13
I really don’t think a cow chi infront change does much for this team whoever comes in the door answers to shanny and he tells them what to do idk how it’s not obvious by now.
26 Nov 2023 13:52:48
Leaf needs: two D, goalie, new coach.
1.) 26 Nov 2023 15:04:33
Which goalie exactly?
Everyone wants a goalie if you haven't noticed. Only maybe 5 goalies are consistently good enough to win a cup. It's about a goalie getting jot at the right time.
Hell boy isn't available
Vassy isn't available
Sorokin isn't available
Saros isn't available
Shesterkin isn't available
Can you name another one that you think is an upgrade, that is available?
2D I agree on, but that's more a deadline deal coming. I'm almost certain Zadorov will be a Leaf.
07 Nov 2023 00:19:01
I think they’ve established that Knies belongs with Matthews and Marner lol.
1.) 07 Nov 2023 01:09:32
I'm honestly shocked it took this long. We have all said Knies should be on the top line since the 3rd game.
2.) 07 Nov 2023 03:09:03
Knies scored a goal and had 2 assists on top line tonight. I smell another line shuffle from Keefe to fix that. he'll put him back on third line by next game. Right Keefe?
3.) 07 Nov 2023 13:34:10
Good one LL.
4.) 07 Nov 2023 13:34:33
Good one Loxley.
5.) 07 Nov 2023 18:17:54
@LL. I think we have been saying it since he started with them back in last season's playoffs against Tampa. LOL.
6.) 08 Nov 2023 02:30:20
I had him on my top line at the start of training camp. Had Bert with JT and Willy and then Jarnkrok Domi and Kampf.
7.) 08 Nov 2023 13:59:16
@RLF I had Knies moving up there at some point. maybe after Bertuzzieventyally got hurt. Domi I had on second line only to cover up any defensive deficiencies in his game. fid not want him as top guy in 3rd line. so by default that left Knies and Minten who seemed to gel on third. but with Minten gone Knies is right where he should be.
18 Apr 2025 02:43:23
And minus 16….
McMann has 20 goals and plus 12.
Kane wants to play for 3 million sure . Not a nickel more.
17 Apr 2025 00:00:02
Pretty sure Matthews is fine with Knies.
16 Apr 2025 12:10:41
Less than zero interest in Patrick Kane.
12 Apr 2025 02:38:25
JT better work on plus/ minus with him too. Zero chance Chicago takes that offer however.
10 Apr 2025 15:19:12
Reilly to Van for a second, just to dump his salary. Let Marner walk. There’s 20 million in savings . Lock up Knies (4@7m bridge ) and Tavares (4@5.5).
Trade/ move/ dump…. Domi, Kamph, Jarnkok, Benoit.
Sign Ehlers, Bennett and Ekblad.
