Leafs rumours 4

10 Sep 2025 20:36:03
Tor: Benoit, Robertson, Kampf,
Villeneuve, 3rd

Cal: Andersen, klapka

---------

Tor: McMann

Anyone: 3rd


This opens opens roster spots to sign roslovic, brings in stud RHD and a huge power winger. This opens up a great opportunity for the leafs


Knies Matthews roslovic
Maccelli JT nylander
Cowen Roy klapka
Lorentz Laughton jarnkrok

Rielly Carlo
McCabe tanev
OEL Andersen


Calgary gets an assortment of prizes, Robertson will definitely get the playing time to wow (west coast so not likely against the leafs) . Increased defensive from their forward groups. And a ready for a few NHL games replacement puck moving all situation dman in Villeneuve.

10 Sep 2025 22:26:51
Keep McMann until the trade deadline I think he’s got a gear we don’t see consistently and I’m curious to see what he does this season, other than that I’d do this but Calgary won’t.

10 Sep 2025 23:49:02
I would rather send Calgary OEL and keep Benoit!

As far as Roslovic being a huge, power winger, if he was all that valuable why would Carolina not resign him?
Because he plays no defense (one of only two starters who were minus players on the Hurricanes last season with a - 10) and he hits less than Marner did! }.

11 Sep 2025 00:34:09
Hrenklin, I have to say I’m sorry but I don’t agree with any of it. Not a fan of how you go after soft players like this wasn’t the reason we’ve lost the last 10 years in a row. Giving McMann away? Am I missing something here? A stud that scored 20+ goals and makes 1.35M and we just send him packing? We just must have opposite brains.

11 Sep 2025 12:23:07
CGY gets an assortment of junk for a legit top 4 D. They pass .

11 Sep 2025 13:06:43
@WB klapka is the huge guy. 23, and performed good in AHL.

13 Sep 2025 21:48:21
Roslovic is definitely not the answer here.

10 Sep 2025 17:08:16
Tor: Matthews
Chi: Bedard

What does Chicago have to add to make this a reality for you?

10 Sep 2025 18:39:58
Why? I’d rather keep Matthews. They are rebuilding, we aren’t.

10 Sep 2025 22:27:54
Connor Who? Why post this crap.

10 Sep 2025 11:51:35
some lil moves

Colorado trades:

D-Sam Malinski
$1.4 M

RW- Cooper Gay
$873 K 

For:
Simon Benoit
$1.4 M

N. Robertson
$1.8 M


Vegas trades
Keegan Kolesar
$2.5 M


Vegas gets:

Bobby McMann
$1.4 M

Ben Danford
$932 K 

Kolesar has chemistry with the Roy. Add in Dakota for the third line and maybe now you see a picture forming.


Malinski is a puck moving D man with upside can play the right hand side allowing OEL to be on his left.

We don't have a lot of prospects but G Cooper adds to it as a huge young player with hands who also shoots right.

10 Sep 2025 12:33:00
Those both seem like overpays by the Leafs imo.
Malinski is barely an NHLer and not really a point producer. Gay may become a bottom 6 NHLer eventually.

Although I like Kolesar, McMann and Danford is a big overpay for a 3rd line winger with a career high 12 goals in a season where he averaged around 8 before last year. Do we really need Kolesar wince picking up Dakota, Roy, Pazetta?

10 Sep 2025 13:38:25
No way you include Danford in that deal.

10 Sep 2025 22:10:09
Malinski is a versatile defenseman recognized for his quick skating, puck-moving skills, and two-way play. He's also a physically strong player who isn't hesitant to get in front of the net and block shots.


As For Koselar I feel the target is worth the fetch and maybe in order to do it, it takes Danford, overpay or not. Sometimes targets are worth the fetch in order to have a great 3rd line.

Pez doesn't make the third line greater by any means imo. oh well.

10 Sep 2025 22:25:49
Cooper Gay

The Edina, Minnesita, native combines strong hands with impressive skating ability, using both to generate speed through the neutral zone and navigate around opponents.

His imposing size, 6-foot-5 and over 220 pounds at 23 years old, further enhances his game.

"When he attacks in the offensive zone, he can use his reach to prevent the defenseman from getting the puck. When the opponent is along the boards, Gay can shut them down quickly with a smashing hit that will knock them off of the puck. " -Vogt.

10 Sep 2025 23:51:55
Absolutely no way Leafs send Danford to the Knights for a 3rd line winger.
I like Kolesar but that is a huge overpayment!

11 Sep 2025 01:49:49
You r still not that guy lol.

11 Sep 2025 13:14:22
Thatguy. Anyone can read a scouting report, that doesn't mean they become top players because the report talks abut the good that they do.

Malinski is a smallish (5'11") 3rd pair at best D-man. He was 26 before he cracked Colorado's lineup playing just under 16 mins a night, which is less than any Leafs D-man last season. He played very little PP or PK time. Is that really what the Leafs need?

Cooper Gay is a big man, no doubt. He is another undrafted guy that may or may not turn into something, but likely bottom 6 player if he does. A lot of his production last season came on the PP. Not much 5 on 5 production. He is going to need time to develop and get up to speed first at the AHL level and then if, and only if, he can do that, eventually a shot at the NHL level. He is about 50/ 50 to make the NHL.

And you want to give Benoit and Robertson for these two? No thanks.

11 Sep 2025 21:44:35
Malinski as you say smallish doesn't mean he doesn't play hockey in a style we couldn't use. Maybe he can quarterback a 2nd line pp.

What I feel is important is that he can play the right side or left side.

Don't get me wrong I like Benoits heart but I'm sure Malinski has more to offer than Benoit.

You know, I'd love to see the same time on the ice Robinson gets and give it to Cooper. I bet that he shines more now, or eventually.

But that's my opinion I guess.

10 Sep 2025 00:33:38
would you guys do

Carlo to Anaheim for Luneau and Colangelo?

10 Sep 2025 02:51:00
ABSOLUTELY!

10 Sep 2025 12:04:49
Personally, I would not.
Carlo is too important to trade right now (unless for a kick ass package) . He is the perfect partner for Rielly and helps shape our defensive pairings.

McCabe Tanev
Rielly Carlo

Luneau would be a great fit on the 3rd pair at this stage in his career, playing along side a defensive partner.

Benoit Luneau

This is why I think my trade proposal makes more sense (Luneau & 4th for OEL & McMann) . OEL is 34, LD and will always play behind Rielly (really not needed) . McMann would be missed, but I really think Joshua will fill his shoes on 2LW (heard Leafs view him as a potential Hyman) .

Knies Matthews Domi
Joshua Tavares Nylander
Laughton Roy Maccelli
Lorentz Kampf Jarnkrok
Robertson/ Pezzetta

McCabe Tanev
Rielly Carlo
Benoit Luneau
Thrun

Maybe trade Robertson for a draft pick. Anyways, lots more cap space to make a move at the TDL.

11 Sep 2025 13:25:39

I like Carlo as well, not advocating trading him. I do think Luneau and Colangelo is a very good package for him though. Luneau a young, almost PPG D-man n the A last year and Colangelo has done nothing but score at any level he has played. Thing is, I also like OEL and McMann. OEL brings a strong vet presence on the backend and has gone all the way to the Cup. McMann played all over the lineup and still scored 20. He had a slow start to the playoffs, but I thought he was better and better as the playoffs went on. Hard to say that for many of the Leafs. Leafs could still look for another D-man to compliment Rielly, or play him with Luneau and give him the responsibility of being the leader and vet in the pair. Rielly has to be better this season and I am sure he knows it.
I don't dislike your trade, just seems like a lot for Luneau at this point in his career.

09 Sep 2025 16:52:30
Tor: Matthews

Mtl: Suzuki, hutson

09 Sep 2025 19:27:19
MTL says no. But I would as a Leafs fan.

09 Sep 2025 22:14:28
Huh, tough call. Hudson could be the real deal or a flash in the pan. Guess I'd probably do it too though.

10 Sep 2025 00:06:55
I think Montreal says no!

09 Sep 2025 14:35:55
To Toronto
Luneau $.865M RFA
2026 4th

To Anaheim
McMann $1.35M
OEL $3.5M/ 3yrs

Thoughts?

09 Sep 2025 23:11:24
You know I am high on Luneau, but it seems like leafs give alot for a really good, yet unproven D prospect. Maybe because I like McMann and OEL it's swaying my values.

10 Sep 2025 00:11:39
In a heartbeat if I’m the Leafs.
As long as Reilly is on the team, OEL is redundant.
Luneau would be another 21 year old, cost controlled, 202lb, RHD.
Along with Danford, he & Luneau would be the beginning of Leafs defensive core of the future.

08 Sep 2025 07:20:21
Never happen but would you?

Tor A Matthews
N Robertson
2027 2nd


St Louis R Thomas
D Halloway
A Torpochenko

Who adds? Would this be the baseline talk negotiation starter for a blockbuster?

08 Sep 2025 10:27:57
You’re right …. never happen. Matthews alone gets more than that.

08 Sep 2025 14:34:28
Blues need to add multiple firsts and/ or roster players.

09 Sep 2025 00:31:58
Seriously?

07 Sep 2025 21:48:12
Try something a little out of the box to give you gentlemen a chance to ? all over it. Have fun
1st trade:
To Tor: 4th rd pick

To ANH: Robertson, Kampf

2nd trade:
To Tor: Bertuzzi

To Chi: either Domi or Maccelli with Jarnkrok

New lines:

Knies Matthews Domi/ Maccelli
Bertuzzi JT Nylander
McMann Roy Joshua
Lorentz Laughton Pezzetta

Sign either Patches or Leason
I personally think Bertuzzi would play well under Berube. I wish he would of gave it one more year under Chief.

08 Sep 2025 00:44:27
The first trade looks fine as it clears $4.25 million off Leafs cap.
That’s a good thing as there is no room on the roster for either of them.

The second trade makes no sense to me whatsoever?
Why would you want -39, Bertuzzi and his $5.5 million dollar times 3 year Albatross Contract back on the Leafs?
Both Domi & Maccelli have more value than Bertuzzi and that’s not saying much much!

08 Sep 2025 11:51:14
WB49 you’re gonna go off his plus minus after playing a year on the worst team in the league? This is a guy who elevates his game when it gets tough and physical. That’s what I’m looking for. He started out slow with us but started finding chemistry with guys like Matthews and Domi. He is a good power forward that can play in the top 6 and put up maybe 25 goals. I think he would thrive under Berube’s system if given the chance. Maccelli is gonna make some beautiful plays in the regular season, I’m sure of it. But who would you rather in a 7 game series against Florida between Bertuzzi or Maccelli? It’s pretty easy for me but to each their own.

09 Sep 2025 14:37:33
What is with you and +- WB?

07 Sep 2025 16:27:56
Adding to my earlier trade

To leafs
Marchenko and 1st round pick

To Columbus
Woll robertson Cowan danford

Toronto gets a some cap room and draft Capitol for trade deadline plus number 1 winger

Columbus gets goalie plus young prospects

07 Sep 2025 17:41:14
Ouch! That’s a lot man.

05 Sep 2025 19:55:07
Buffalo Trades
Tuch

Toronto Trades
NRobertson
Danford (OHL)

Yep Pinball is back being September.



Thoughts ?

05 Sep 2025 20:57:11
In a heartbeat.

05 Sep 2025 23:58:18
Love the trade but would it be enough to satisfy the Sabres?

06 Sep 2025 01:15:27
Don't see Buffalo agreeing, but that is a dumpster fire of a team so who knows.

06 Sep 2025 14:35:53
Probably have to add a decent pick and the cap hit needs improvement, so add a second and Kampf.

05 Sep 2025 18:50:56
To solidify the third line, McMann could be replaced with Keegan Kolesar, who used to play on a line with Roy. That way, Roy and Kolesar would be reunited, and the swap would work as a clean one for one.
Joshua Roy Kolesar wow!

05 Sep 2025 21:03:11
Nothing wrong with the idea but gut feel McMann has (potentially a higher ceiling) but style of play wise and the fact the two played together could give us a strong presence come playoffs.

06 Sep 2025 00:04:45
6’2”, 216 lbs, right shot, 3rd line player!
Perfect.
Kolesar’s 2024/ 25 stat line: 82 games, 12 goals, 18 assists, 30 points, +3
Kolesar is only 28 years old with 3 more years under contract at $2.5 per year.

The question is, would Vegas consider trading him?

06 Sep 2025 14:38:17
The problem is we have more than enough bottom 6 guys. We need to move 2 contracts just to sign roslovic (according to the rumor) . McMann has some value so I think he would be a potential mover.
