Karlsson?
I thought he retired…. if not, he should.

02 Jan 2025 22:17:48
The Predators trade is a bit ridiculous. You are giving no value for two assets in Reilly and Schenn. Karlsson is declining, so no thanks for the money he makes it just wouldn't work. I like Laughton but McMann is just playing to well, and Dewar kills penalties so I'll pass. Might be able to get him for a 2nd round pick. I wouldn't do the last trade either, patches looks great for so little money.

02 Jan 2025 22:35:12
Salary cap? Nashville says NO.

02 Jan 2025 23:02:38
As a Leaf fan I don’t really want O’Reilly or Schenn but if they are available for the low price of Holmberg and Meyers, a 4th line forward and a #7/ #8 defenseman then go for it!
Just can’t see Nashville ever agreeing to such a deal.

Minten a #1 center?
Niemala a top pairing defenseman?
In what alternative world might that happen.
Minten will hopefully become a good, 3rd line center and Niemala a good 3rd pairing defenseman.
The odds against any more progression than that would be similar to winning the Lottery!

03 Jan 2025 00:01:22
Paconyou a little bit whacko ???.

04 Jan 2025 22:53:13
I think when playoff time comes Benoit will be useful the whistles tend to go away…. Plus he’s not playing with a guy like McCabe this year.

Leafs don’t have a #1 pick in 2025!

Reilly ($7.5), Reaves ($1.35) = $8.85 and a 2nd round pick (for taking Reaves) to Vancouver in return for Boeser ($6.6) and Desharnais ($2)

03 Jan 2025 18:44:35
Sorry 2026. But u need a centre that’s why I went for the gusto with forsberg and schenn has been a proven partner for Reilly.

Leafs- Zibanejad

Rangers- Robertson, Niemela, Jarnkrok, Kamph, 2026 1st

02 Jan 2025 11:21:34
To me the fit isn’t there he’s 31 makes 8.5 for another 4 years he’s also been labeled as a player that can’t take pressure well.

If there’s one guy on that team that I think fits the leafs it’s trochek same term but make 5.6 a lot more manageable which is why it doesn’t make sense for the rangers to move him.

02 Jan 2025 12:29:56
I would take Trocheck first.

02 Jan 2025 22:13:26
I mean his playoff numbers are pretty good. I love his size, and when he's on his game, he's tough to stop. And in Toronto, he wouldn't need to be the 1C which would take a ton of pressure off him. If he's available, I would consider it. Also good insurance if you can't resign Taveras at the right price, who I doubt will be able to replicate the year he's having.

02 Jan 2025 23:11:41
A New York pundit has described Zibanejad’s play as “disinterested “!
Leafs don’t need a player lacking in compete level.
It indicates character issues.
Coupled with his age, cap hit and the 4 more years under contract it seems like a poor fit.

02 Jan 2025 00:42:51
Wow!
Desharnais has not been able to crack the Canucks lineup but you have him penciled in on Leafs top defensive pairing.
That might be praying for miracles!

02 Jan 2025 01:07:54
Luke schenn was not a first line defenceman but he played with Reilly on first line. What you fail to realize as you r looking for a stay at home D to play with Reilly. But I guess you missed the memo.

02 Jan 2025 22:13:35
I like the Chicago trade

No way would I trade for Desharnais though.

03 Jan 2025 12:24:05
@Blowhard24, you do realize that Reilly is no longer on the 1st pairing right? It has been Tanev and McCabe. Reilly is playing where he should have always played. the 2nd paring.

03 Jan 2025 18:46:33
He plays the most minutes out of all the defence so he’s still their first.

01 Jan 2025 18:38:10
Leafs- Byram

Sabers- Robertson,Jarnkrok,2026 1st

02 Jan 2025 11:40:25
I like Byram but he seems like a Reilly type not big a guy that scores much which is the biggest need for the leafs.

Not a fan of trading for the 34 year old Savard.
I wouldn’t want to see the Leafs resign him either as they already have too many 33+ year old players on the team.

McBain and Doan, on the other hand would be great fits on Leafs 3rd line
Robertson - McBain - Doan looks good.
It might take Cowan and Leafs 1st round pick in 2026 to convince Utah to make the move.
I don’t think Cowan alone would do it as Kampf and Timmins as NHL hockey players have minimal value.
Leafs have lots of cap filler to make the dollars worth (Kampf, Jarnkrok, Domi, Reaves)

02 Jan 2025 01:11:39
Why would u give up a first for a 3c and a prospect? I wouldn’t even put Cowan in there for those 2. Minten would be enough.

05 Jan 2025 00:04:45
Savard is not the best option.

Detroit Trades
PKane*

Toronto Trades
NRobertson
Kampf
1st Round Pick 2026

*Detroit retains 50% of PKane's expiring contract.


Detroit looking for possible assets in trading PKane on an expiring contract and would get this in my proposal.

Toronto would solidify the Top 9 adding PKane and help for their playoff run.



Thoughts ?

01 Jan 2025 16:26:09
Kane not worth a 1st rd pick.

01 Jan 2025 16:35:32
Don't want kane. So pass.

02 Jan 2025 00:27:26
How were you when you posted that trade?

02 Jan 2025 00:53:16
A 1st round pick for the 36 year old Kane (who is struggling this year) seems like poor asset management.

02 Jan 2025 01:06:52
Robertson alone gets Kane and I’m still not sure i would do it. Kane sucks this year.

05 Jan 2025 00:07:08
Hard no on that. Kane brings nothing to toronto.

01 Jan 2025 15:55:28
An small expansion on my previous thought


Tor: Marner, Rielly, arti, 2027 1st

Club: werenski, Marchenko,

EDM: skinner, 2026 2nd


-----------

Tor gets skinner, werenkis, and Marchenko. A true #1 d, a skilled big body RW, and a cap dump that was on their radar that they could flip for space. The true masterpiece is the leafs still would have Cowen which they can hopefully use to target Cozens.

Club gets Marner, Rielly, arti, and 1st and second. They get a too line rw with alot of skill and can afford to pay him. They get a replacement lv player for werenski which offsets the skill deiiferences between the positional players respectively. They also get a good goalie prospect, a1st and 2nd for the age difference.

EDM gets cap space so an extra pic can go to clb.


Domi Matthews Nylander
Knies Cozens Marchenko
Patches JT mann
Lorentz Holmberg Reaves

Not listed for trade purposes, Kampf, jarnkrok, robertson dewar. That's 6.5ish right there in manipulatable cap space.


*All assuming trade clauses get waived*.

01 Jan 2025 21:58:48
What do the Jackets get out of this? Nothing?

01 Jan 2025 23:08:02
So what you’re saying is marner and Reilly are not enough to get werenski and Marchenko u need to throw in a first and second rd pic plus our best goalie prospect. ??? all this to offset age difference. Marner and Reilly is good enough to get you marchenko and werenski as long as he agrees to sign contract. Most ridiculous trade to date. How do u get cozens? Give up the rest of the roster? Or maybe Nylander, Knies and McMann? Where is skinner in your lineup ????.

02 Jan 2025 00:56:33
Why would Leafs want Jeff Skinner who was just a healthy scratch and has been a bit of a disaster for the Oilers this season?

Not sure why the Leafs would have to give up a 1st round pick as well as Marner and Reilly for Werenski and Marchenko?

02 Jan 2025 01:09:56
Brutal trade.

02 Jan 2025 18:17:40
Ignored facts

Cap difference of 5m between, term, this trade doesn't have an extension in place for Marner. Trading q 30yr old and a 27 yr old for a 23 yr old and a 27yr old is also. The Toronto tax

This trade changes the team. Maybe the Leafs keep the 2nd they get for the cap dump for skinner. And do Cowen, 2 2nd skinner and Kampf for Cozens. It's still more realistic then people thinking Robertson alone is enough to bring in frost.

05 Jan 2025 00:08:14
Did you just pick a bunch of names out of a hat?

01 Jan 2025 01:41:40
To TOR: C - S. Laughton

To PHA: F - A. Steeves + 2025 3rd

Flyers get a younger player and a 3rd for a 3rd line Centre

01 Jan 2025 04:31:37
I love Laughton it will cost more than that.

01 Jan 2025 13:11:01
Possibly more, but can't think it will cost a significant amount. He's not worth a top prospect or 1st.

01 Jan 2025 18:40:57
Throw in Cowan and a 1st for Buffalo to even think about it.

01 Jan 2025 23:09:35
Laughton is on Philly. Why u sending Cowan and a 1st to buffalo ???.
