Toronto Trades:

Mathews
Reilly

to San Jose

Pick #2 OA
Michael Misa
2nd Round Pick 2026

09 May 2026 02:17:16
That’s $20.75 million dollars added to San Jose’s cap.
How does that work?

09 May 2026 15:23:13
Might not be able to send Reilly, too in that deal, and for that we should even sweeten the deal by taking back some of Matthews' remaining 2yrs of salary to make it happen. He can go anytime! Now if we do this for SJ, do they add? Or does this make the deal go through?

07 May 2026 23:04:11
Well one more from way in right field. We give our 1st and RFA rights to Robertson to St. Louis all the way down in the 11th draft spot which isn't super horrible spot.

In return we want Centre Dylan Holloway (St.

Louis was using him as a winger), D-man Philip Broberg, and with the 11th pick now we have our #2 Centre and #1 pairing Defenseman and we then draft at 6'-5" and 227 lbs of Ethan (The Beast) Belchetz.

07 May 2026 22:09:25
Forgot to add.... then St. Louis can draft Stenberg and they have him and his brother they already drafted as a 1st rounder.

08 May 2026 00:01:07
Oh god no that's terrible return.

08 May 2026 00:34:57
I’m curious why you consider that a horrible return?

09 May 2026 02:20:11
Holloway, Broberg and the 11th overall for the 1st overall and Robertson?
Seems like a huge overpayment by St. Louis?

09 May 2026 03:17:20
@ waterbuffalo49. Shhhhh we don’t want others to know that ?

07 May 2026 21:20:23
To NYR: 1st overall pick 2026, Robertson

To Toronto: Cuyelle, 5th overall pick.

Utah

William Nylander

--------------
Toronto

Cole Beaudoin
Dmitri Simashev
19th overall 2026

__________________

Maybe use that pick to go after one of the Ruck twins?

I know everyone wants Iginla, but this team should try filling out at Centre and D before wingers, so Beaudoin it is.



Simashev is an NHL ready Dman who's a top 5 pick. Total stud. This team could really turn things around quick.

07 May 2026 18:43:06
I have no problem going for Beaudoin and Simashev but why not just skip the pick and go for Iginla as well. He is better than either of the Rucks. That way Beaudoin gets a winger he has had past success with.

07 May 2026 22:26:05
Like it

07 May 2026 18:16:18
Van - Gets Tor. #1 pick
Tor - Gets Van. #3 pick, 2027 #1 pick, Zeev Buium

07 May 2026 19:21:57
As much as I would love that return. I can’t see Vancouver giving that. I could see a possible if we were the ones giving them our 1st this and next year, which will be a late 1st for their #3 this year and Buium. That would be a very good deal for both teams.

07 May 2026 17:46:40
Would you guys do this trade with Mckenna apparently being a massive Flames fan?

Tor: 1 OA, Reilly

Cgy: both 1sts this year, their best 2nd this year, their better 1st next year, Parekh and Frost?

07 May 2026 17:09:32
Wow Calgary is not that desperate.

07 May 2026 19:24:05
That would only happen if Treliving was the GM again in Calgary lmao.

That’s not a bad deal and to be honest I don’t thing we would have to retain anything.

07 May 2026 13:57:40
Morgan Rielly (32% Retained)
For
Cale Fleury
4th Round Draft Pick

07 May 2026 14:20:14
I am curious how to feel this would be a good deal? What I see is us getting a Defenceman who has 6 points in the 100 games he has played in the League and is turning 28 this season.

Yes he is younger than Reilly but now you want us to carry $2.4 million on our cap books for 4 more years? It might not seem like a lot but that is 2.3% of our cap just this year.

07 May 2026 17:10:38
Cale Fleury is just bad.

07 May 2026 13:38:40
With so much time between now and the draft, we have all kinds of time to speculate on what the Leafs could do with the 1st overall pick. I think the obvious choice is take McKenna but what kind of trade offers do you guys think could make sense for Toronto?

Here's one:

Leafs get: Robert Thomas, 2026 11th overall pick, 2026 15th overall pick

Blues get: 2026 1st overall pick and Macelli

Does St.

Louis even pick up the phone for an offer like this?

If Toronto decided to trade the pick this is the sort of deal I would want in return.

07 May 2026 13:20:52
Great trade. I have a really hard time passing up our pick, but really good thought.

07 May 2026 14:24:28
The return would be good for Toronto but I think if I was St. Louis I would hang onto Robert Thomas and use the picks. They are total rebuild and there are a couple guys that will be available in those spots that will be good pieces for them. But good thought.

07 May 2026 17:12:13
Love the target, if Matthews goes in another deal.

07 May 2026 05:07:49
Our captain has decided that he doesn't want to commit to this team next year. Honestly, trade him asap.

SJ- Misa, 2nd overall
Tor- Matthews (Leafs retain 25%), Reilly

Toronto gets a young center and the pick they will use for a d-man. SJ gets a puck moving d-man and a defensive center to play in front of or behind Celebrini as their 1-2 punch.

Next, Sundin raved about Petersson back in the day and Toronto might be able to acquire him for cheap if they take the full contract. Toronto gets their 1st line center and Vancouver gets cap space and a 1st.



Tor- 1st 2027 (Col), mid prospect, Robertson
Van- Petersson, Debrusk

Toronto takes McKenna 1st overall and Reid/Veroeff 2nd overall

This one hurts but Toronto needs another d-man.

Tor- Knies
NJ- Nemec

We get another good young d-man and NJ gets the young forward that they want.

Toronto trades Stolarz to the highest bidder (Maybe Edmonton?)

Debrusk-Petersson-Nylander
McKenna-Misa-Cowan
Joshua-Tavares-Domi
Lorentz-Groulx-Marlie

Nemec-McCabe
2nd overall pick- Tanev
OEL-Stetcher/Benoit

Woll
Hilldeby

07 May 2026 08:43:59
If you trade Matthews they might as well trade Nylander as well. Keep Knies and swap him for Willy and get a bigger return.

07 May 2026 09:35:49
Still have Carlo and we’d have to sign Tory.

07 May 2026 10:12:33
No thank you to Petterson and trading Knies. Just silly.

07 May 2026 10:39:47
@vancream Now Matthews agree done gone! Knies for Nemec no way! I know we need another D but not trading a Knies for that. Nemec will be an excellent dman but I think we can offer next yrs first Col Robertson ++ for Nemec or look at other moves or UFA’s to sign. We build around Knies, Misa, Cowboy, our first this year McKenna, and if your prop happens Reid/Verheoff should be back in a good spot soon.

As far as Petterson man no! Not at full pop if Van retains idk 40% maybe but that guy looks a shell of what he once was, kinda like Matthews tbh.

07 May 2026 14:26:44
@ LeafsGM78 Who is Tory? You mentioned him once before as well in another post.

Truthfully if the Leafs had 3 top 5 picks I’d go
McKenna
Reid
Malhotra

Winger, dman, centre but also realized that stripping it down when they don’t have their own 1st the next two years is a risk.

07 May 2026 11:59:57
I like your overall goal of building a young enough team that when McDavid is a free agent that he sees a team that is just missing him. Another thought is the team needs to be competitive as they don’t have their own picks the next two drafts. Imagine if this year's pick was going to another team because it was unprotected.
