Leafs trade rumours 5

12 Jun 2026 18:43:44
Not even sure I like this trade, but here we go.

Tor: Reilly, Stolarz, Col 1st


Nyr: Zibinejad, Schneider, Laba, Rempe

Zibby is getting old and may not be great, but a decent stop gap until we can find our true 2C

Lineup becomes:

Mckenna Matthews Nylander
Knies Zibinejad Cowan
Robertson Tavares Domi/Macelli
Joshua Laba Rempe/Lorentz

OEL Tanev
McCabe Schneider
Benoit/rookie Carlo

Woll
Hildeby.



I feel like this team should be competitive, and we spend everything we have on teaching Rempe to skate properly. If we can shift him somehow from an enforcer to a power forward, could be the steal of the trade. Would also consider replacing Zibby with Trochek.

12 Jun 2026 21:15:24
I don’t think the Rangers like that trade either…

12 Jun 2026 16:58:07
Tor: Rielly, 2026 2nd, Quillan

Chi: Korchinski or Rinzel

Chicago looking for veteran defenseman. Leafs need a young dman.

12 Jun 2026 21:17:01
Hawks can sign a veteran defenceman for a lot less than Rielly's salary
In fact they could sign 2 that are just as good or better.

12 Jun 2026 15:23:49
Just a thought, but what if the Leafs traded both their goalies for prospects/picks and then signed a vet and went with the vet/Hildeby/AA possibly or when needed.

Ana
Woll $3.67M

Tor
Luneau $.865M
Masse unsigned

Then

LA
Stolarz $3.75M

Tor
Keumper $5.25M
Brzustewicz $1.075M
Ziemmer $.905M

1st trade: Anaheim improves their goalie tandem and Woll fits right in with the age of their team. Leafs get a potential top 4 D in Luneau and a mid prospect who is still unsigned in Masse.



2nd trade: LA improves their goaltending situation and creates some much needed cap space. For taking in the last year of Keumper's contract, the Leafs pick up a higher-end D prospect in Brzus and a competitive forward in Ziemmer who still needs time to develop.

Leafs go with Keumper/Hildeby and or AA next season and add Luneau to the D core and Bruzs Masse and Ziemmer to the prospect pool.

12 Jun 2026 16:32:04
In Trade #1, Procyszyn is a 3rd Rd draft pick right handed power forward. Has a nose for the net and provides toughness and skill with a touch of speed. I'd try to secure him for 3rd line with #2rw ceiling.

12 Jun 2026 21:27:06
Historically goalies don’t fetch much or as much as you have indicated.
In the first trade add Benoit or Carlo.
They need defence in Anaheim.

I don’t mind the second trade as I see you added the Leafs taking back sone bucks in Keumper, but still think you need to add someone like Robertson and get them to retain 1.5 on Keumper.



Either way I’m totally on board with your thinking and running with Keumper and Hildeby.

Really like that Masse kid as well.
Saw him play three times.
Not the fastest dude but has a heavy shot and would be a nice net front presence on the PP.
Not bad defensively either.
Heck I would put him with Knies and Matthews and see how that works.

13 Jun 2026 13:36:24
W17. Yes, but not unheard of to get returns equivalent to a 2nd and 3rd. I took into account that both teams are in win now mode, both have a good amount of prospects and/or picks, it's a very weak goalie pool this summer and that Woll and Stolarz are both relatively cheap adds to the cap.


To be clear, Leafs are taking on Keumper's full cap hit which is why the return is what it is. I could be far off on both. Who knows.

11 Jun 2026 23:30:59
Oilers
Rielly
Robertson

Leafs
Nurse
Howard

Nurse has lost his way.
He can be second pair in Toronto with Tanev.
I believe he has more to offer offensively.

A close wash on the cap as Robertson will probably want 3-4 million.

Rielly gets a fresh start as well.


Robertson would be third line in Toronto behind Knies and Mckenna. Needs a top six place to be most effective.
Perhaps he could be second line on the Oilers.

Howard has potential. Would be a nice add to the third line LW.

11 Jun 2026 23:51:31
Not sure Edmonton does it. May need to add a mid round pick from Leafs.

12 Jun 2026 01:22:47
I like the deal. Would love to have Nurse. Hometown boy. But that 9.25 for the next 4 seasons is a tough pull to swallow. I feel that I would need retention on that deal even if it means we add a mid pick/prospect.

Also, if we’re not drafting a D in the top 10 then we still need to trade for that puck moving offensive D. Nurse ain’t it.

12 Jun 2026 01:47:00
Not sure what to add for retention
2nd equals 3 million?
Quillan is 2 million?
Or we remove Howard and they retain 3 million?

I just think Oilers can't retain with their cap situation… but Nurse wants out so they may have no choice if they want some value in the return

I’m not advocating Nurse as the missing puck moving dman in any way
Just posted a trade that I see more value in Nurse and Howard than what we have currently in Rielly and Robertson….

12 Jun 2026 12:17:20
Nurse has all the physical attributes and skating skills. I have said it before, I just wish he was a smarter player and made better decisions on the ice. Otherwise I would be interested. Moreso because of Howard.

12 Jun 2026 21:16:11
I’d even go with
Podkolzin and Nurse (2M retention)

For
Reilly and Stolarz

I think Podkolzin has the potential with the right line mates to be a similar player to Slafkovsky. Maybe Edmonton adds a pick here? But cap dollars are almost the same with the retention in this deal.

12 Jun 2026 21:28:43
Yes, suffering Nurse lacks what they call hockey IQ… but put him with Tanev and we may be surprised what he brings.

11 Jun 2026 15:09:37
I saw a Twitter snip of a mock Knies trade that looks something like this:

Nemec
Mercer
2x 1st round picks.

---------

While I'm not crazy about this trade, because I think there's probably something better out there for Knies, I do like it more than the MTL trade.

The point of my post is that I think this is the worst D corps in the Atlantic, and that alone makes things very difficult going into this year. If they're not in a playoff spot by December 1st, you can expect Auston to start asking serious questions.

So my idea: there is one thing I think they could do to make that Knies trade work: If the Leafs get NJ's 12th overall pick in that deal, they should go to Boston and explain to them that they can have the 12th overall pick now, or risk waiting to get TOR's 1st rounder in 2028 since we get to choose who takes it.



BOS

- 12th overall
- 60th overall
- 2028 2nd round pick
________________

TOR

- 23rd overall
- 2028 1st rounder (returned)

I think we'd need to sweeten the pot because BOS knows we could be in a bad spot by '28 if Auston doesn't re-sign. Still, they're in a retool as well, and may like what's available at 12th overall to do this.

12 Jun 2026 01:23:52
No thanks. If you want to move a player to get younger assets back then move Nylander.

11 Jun 2026 04:21:29
Leafs
Crouse
Durzi

Utah
Rielly
Robertson
Stolarz
1st 2027

11 Jun 2026 11:50:57
No need to include the first. Second or third maybe.

10 Jun 2026 19:01:03
Here are trades I’d like to see the Leafs without giving all there picks and prospects, period.

First draft. McKenna

Philly is looking for goal tending and eyes are on Woll. So let’s make this happen and get what we need in return. Before that trade can, some players need to go: picks and prospects that are ready for NHL.

First trade

San Jose. Reilly and Robertson
Leafs Mukhamadullin and Musty

Second trade

Van or Kraken. Micelli, Benoit and Myers
No, Leafs receive 2 3rd round picks in 26 and 27

Third trade.



Philly. Woll and Carlo plus 3rd from the second trade
Leafs Tippett and Bonk
Sorry Philly goalie are at a premium so you pay

Sign Darren Raddysh or Anderson


Lines.
McKenna AM Tippett
Knies Kulbar Willy
Musty JT Cowen
Joshua Groulx Lorentz

Fourth line needs work

I am big Kulbar but if second line center is needed what would cost be for Barzel

Def
Mukhamadullin Raddysh or Anderson
McCabe Tanav
OEL. Bonk

Stolaz
Hildeby

Leafs have added size and grit with these move and still have 15 mil in cap space.

10 Jun 2026 19:46:12
You're really over estimated the cue of theeafs players.

And

Koblar won't be playing in North America until maybe second half next season.

10 Jun 2026 20:28:22
Soft team and the “hopes” of signing Raddysh when every team is after him, is your way of improving our D? Championship teams are built from the D and goalie out. Most people on here only worry about forwards.

10 Jun 2026 22:27:55
I’d still trade Reilly and Robertson for Petterson.

14 Jun 2026 15:24:15
@clarky That’s what I’ve been saying. I saw a previous prop to pry the 2OV from San Hose. Can’t remember the details, but we paid Carlo Danford Col’s 1st next year plus. Return was 2OV and maybe Musty? Go look, but then it’s McKenna at 1OV and the sorry Stenberg, and you’re welcome @Canucks, but we draft Chase Reid, Carrel or Verheoff with that pick.

Cause I too believe in the logic of net out or forward whatever. Wdyt? Would that be the play if possible?

10 Jun 2026 17:18:04
Read today on MSN trade talk
Hawks
Knies
Quillan
2nd rd pick

Leafs
4th overall. Draft Reid would be nice
Korchinski
Oliver Moore

Yikes?
Or
Likes?

10 Jun 2026 20:29:03
No to trading Knies. I’d trade Willy for that package and toss in his brother for free.

10 Jun 2026 20:31:12
No thanks. Keeping Knies

10 Jun 2026 23:36:17
I'd take a serious look at Verhoeff over Ried. I like the buddy buddy he's been with McKenna.

11 Jun 2026 01:28:32
Chayka isn’t trading Knies.

14 Jun 2026 15:31:28
@W17, so if the Blackhawks are wanting Knies it’s their 4OV pick this yr. Plus Levshunov and I think they have a young Power Forward in their pool of prospects that was a first rounder too.

Then I’d be interested idk if Oliver interests me. I think then we’re on to something tho. Tbh I think we build around Knies but we need that stud dman Levshunov is him.

Guys this is obviously unrealistic please don’t take this serious.

10 Jun 2026 22:33:37
Sounds like a rebuild I’d say beef up the defense and win a cup.

10 Jun 2026 02:03:55
Morgan Rielly
For
Barclay Goodrow
2027 2nd Round Draft Pick

Select Gavin McKenna at #1 Overall

Trade Pick #60 And Pick #158
For
Pick #43

Select Pierce Mbuyi at Pick #43

Select Brek Liske at Pick #69

These trades could fast-forward our rebuild by a few years because we will have extra money to spend in free agency from the Rielly trade, and we get some solid prospects!

10 Jun 2026 02:13:03
We aren’t in a rebuild.

10 Jun 2026 03:37:31
So why would Alex Steen, who is in a rebuild himself, trade a mid-round 2nd-round pick for a very late second-round and an even later 5th-round, almost a 6th-rounder? That makes zero sense.

10 Jun 2026 03:42:46
Not to mention... Why do we need to get Goodrow another 4th liner at over $3.5 m a year. We have guys from the Marlies who can step in there at much less and a lot younger.

10 Jun 2026 08:47:33
@suffering A lot of teams will trade down for an extra draft pick. Happens every draft. Also not saying I want him, but Goodrow is a role player and would be much like Laughton was in a 4th line role, shutdown PK guy.

If the Leafs have to take a contract back like that in order to move Reilly, I’d do it. Goodrow is on an expiring deal as well, so no long term commitment.

10 Jun 2026 10:39:33
If you have to take on a contract to trade Reilly might as well buy him out.

10 Jun 2026 11:41:33
I am quite aware teams trade down for an extra pick, but to trade down 17 spots to obtain an extra pick at #158 pick is not exactly a smart move. As far as adding Goodrow, I would rather take Calgary’s #35 pick in 2nd round year this year straight up for Reilly's and that contract.

They can keep Goodrow because again we don’t need an overpriced 4th liner even if it is an expiring contract, and we gain more cap. Not that cap means much because there is not much to shop for this year.

09 Jun 2026 22:20:07
Tor: 7th
Cgy: Huberdeau, 2027 top 5 protected 1st

Tor: Reilly 20% retained
Ana: Zelwegger 2027 2nd

Tor: Stolarz
Edm: Savoie 4th

Tor: Nylander
Chi: Korinsky, 4th OA, 2027 2nd




Thoughts: Huberdeau is a big risk but Matthews needs someone passing him the puck and Huberdeau needs someone that can put his passes in the back of the net, that contract has negative value so we get a 1st with it because we don't make them retain.

We draft McKenna and Maholtra.

With us bringing in 2 D prospects and us having Danford we are looking pretty on D moving forward.

We have given up our 2 1sts for the next 2 years which sucks but we have gotten one back this year and with the Colorado pick 2 next year. We get younger and faster. We still have some work to do on this team but we don't go full rebuild and the only 2 remaining are Tavares and Matthews, if it's a bad year we look at recouping assets for Matthews at the deadline or next year.

Thoughts?

10 Jun 2026 08:54:33
There’s some flaws to your trade. The Flames, for starters, probably are not giving up a first. They are rebuilding so they don't need to move out money that bad. Also Brad isn't their GM anymore so at very least that pick is top 10 protected. The Reilly trade makes some sense, but if I'm the Leafs I'm not taking on money for another 5 years, and the Ducks aren't gonna give up Zellweger plus a 2nd, but I'd take Zellweger 1 for 1.

The Stollie trade I don't mind either, but he doesn't have any value since he's always hurt. And the last trade I just think Willy doesn't waive his no move for Chicago.

10 Jun 2026 09:40:26
Seriously?
The always injured Stolarz for Savoi plus a 4th.
I know we’re dealing with Stan Bowman but even he isn’t that cognitively deficient.

Huberdeau?
Huberdeau has 5 more years to run on his contract at $10.5 million.

Why would Anaheim want Rielly when they have two great young prospects in Mintyukov and Zelwegger?
Except you want them to give us Zelwegger plus a 2nd for Rielly.
Verbeek isn’t that foolish.

Korchinski can’t even make the Blackhawks team and has been passed on the depth chart by Levshunov and Sam Rinzel.
No thanks.
