ParticipantLeafs trade Ersson to Ottawa for a 5th round pick. If the Leafs end up with shit goaltending, it won’t matter what else they do.

ParticipantNichushkin to the CBJ for a 2nd, 3rd and a 5th. That type of size is what the Leafs still need more of. Would have been nice to see them flip Maccelli and Robertson for the draft capital to acquire Nichushkin.
Seattle tried to pay Robertson 15 million a year and he said no. Don’t blame him. Seattle is a shithole.
Carolina trying to get Hellebuyck. That’s gotta be a three way battle between Florida, Vegas and Carolina. That’d be a huge advantage for any one of those three teams. It also seems that Andersen is going to become a UFA if Carolina is looking to upgrade their goaltending. Leafs being stuck with only Stolarz and rookies, maybe bringing Andersen back a cheap 1 year deal would be a good insurance contract.

Participantyeah that ain’t happening as much as you would like it to happen.
When this team fails, which it will, they’ll be forced to trade Matthews. After Matthews is gone, the rest will flee the sinking ship.
It’s not a matter of if, it’s a matter of when. Leafs would benefit the most from doing it sooner rather than waiting for Matthews to walk the way Marner did.
Now Chayka is saying he won’t move Rielly. It’s just more of the same stupid, dumbass bullshit that ruins this team. Same shit, different pile.

ParticipantIf Buffalo comes to the Leafs with pick #4 and #20 + a propect for Knies. Do you do that trade?
Nope. Trade Matthews and Nylander instead.
yeah that ain’t happening as much as you would like it to happen.

ParticipantInteresting, upside down, backwards format change. Not the best.

ParticipantSan Jose getting real “interesting” offers for #2 overall. Leafs could do something huge if they played their cards correctly. Here’s just an example.
Matthews with 50% retained for #2, #9, Misa and an unprotected 1st in 2027.
Nylander with 50% retained to the NYR for #5, #26 and Will Cuylle.
Trade down from #1 to VAN for #3 and #24.
Leafs draft Stenberg #2, Reid #3, Carels #5, Verhoeff #9, L. Ruck #24 and M. Ruck #26.
Acquire Gallagher’s bad contract for a 2027 1st from MON
Acquire Hill’s bad contract for a 2028 1st from VGK2026 / 2027 / 2028 Line-up to avoid tanking too hard without a 1st round pick.
Knies | Tavares | Tarasenko
Stenberg | Misa | Arvidsson
Cuylle | Jenner | Cowan
Sissons | Stenlund | Acciari
Lorentz (Domi)OEL | Tanev
McCabe | Raddysh
Andrae | CarloHill
HildebyTrade veteran rentals at the 2028 deadline to a contender for more young players, prospects and draft capital.
2028/2029/2030 Line-up – Tanking is permitted for one/two years to add more elite players.
*Leafs would have a ridiculous amount of cap space to offer McDavid the absolute max contract possible.
Knies | Misa | Cowan
Stenberg | M. Ruck | L. Ruck
Cuylle | (Tavares Trade) | (Arvidsson Trade)
(Tarasenko Trade) |(1st from COL) | Holinka
(1st from MON)Carels | Reid

(Tanev Trade) | Danford
(McCabe Trade) | (Carlo Trade)Hildeby

ParticipantFlames looking for a 2nd for Zary. Signed for two more years at 3.75 AAV. I’d rather have him than Maccelli or Robertson. If the Leafs could flip one of those two for a 2nd and use that 2nd for Zary, the Leafs would be better off.
Not that big but a very good skater, good passer, could be a decent option on the wing in the top-six or opposite Cowan on the 3rd line. Could play C but sucks at FOs so that would have to improve.

ParticipantCapitals land Tuch for 8 x 10.5.
Leafs dodged a huge bullet there.
Would much rather land Arvidsson for half the price with the Sundin Swedish discount.
