Saw this mock trade in an article thought I’d share

Tor: Reilly 4th 2027
Sjs: Ferraro 2nd 2028

Who says no?

11 Feb 2026 00:02:22
I like it but it’s 1 for 1 if not I think we add the higher draft pick here. Love to have Ferraro though.

11 Feb 2026 02:40:35
I would think that if San Jose is willing to take Rielly at $7.5 for four (4) more years after this year then a 2nd for a sweetener sounds about right.
Ferrari is a UFA July 1st.
He would be an upgrade over Benoit but could the Leafs afford to resign him.
Of course, should Leafs trade OEL then they would have the cap space to make Ferraro a fair offer.

11 Feb 2026 11:52:06
I like it and would love to see Ferraro in a Leaf Uniform but I think because San Jose only has 2 guys under contract on their Defense for next year they will re-sign Ferraro. He is a good defenseman and has played his whole career there and is a assistant captain and he is only 27 so with the young team he is still young enough but also old enough to be a good team leader.

I would be open if the leafs can land a 2nd round pick for one of the extra bodys they are trying to clear out, of sending Reilly and that 2nd pick as a favour to San Jose just to literally take Reilly and his contract to give us some financial ammunition once Free Agency hits.

Tor: jarnkrok, 6th

MTL: Laine, 2nd


Leafs get paid to take on laine's full contract. Moving jarnkrok helps make it happen while also keeping it available for Joshua to come back from injury without issue. Montreal gets cap space for a bigger deal.

08 Feb 2026 17:17:35
Makes zero sense for Toronto. Trying to create cap space not add a horrible contract.

08 Feb 2026 17:54:59
The most the NHL allows for a team to absorb on a contract when trading the player to another team is 50%. So with Montreal still on the hook for 50% and then taking on Jarnkroks contract there really is not a lot of cap space for that bigger deal. Both players are free agents at end of year. I am sure the leafs would do this deal as their really is no risk to them. If Laine lights it up its a bonus but no obligation to sign him. And who wouldn't want to trade a 6th round pick to get a second. I don't see it as something Montreal would benefit from.

09 Feb 2026 00:20:48
I didn't say anything about retention. Now Laine might be a horrible contract, but, he's still talented with size right handed. Montreal would get 6.6m in cap while the Leafs have sucked this year. Would get a second.

Who knows. Would you consider Laine if he was signed for 3.5x3?

09 Feb 2026 12:56:45
@ Hrenkin Im confused . you said you didn't say anything about retention. But you also said the leafs would get paidto take on Laine's full contract. How does that work?

09 Feb 2026 15:40:30
They can fit the whole 8.7m cap hit. They just send jarnkrok back with a 7th, to get a 2nd.

Now leafs have a high skill right winger, and can see how well he does. Maybe it worth resigning him at a lower rate, but leafs now have a 2nd, and moved out a player. Who isn't resigning.

09 Feb 2026 16:02:23
I took was looking at this as an advantage it would have to come with retention but laine is an expiring deal so for the leafs you take on a cap dump who can put the puck in the net along with a pick something like laine and a 2nd for Benoit but only way it works is if either tanev is done and or they move a domi/ maccelli it’s leveraging cap space to get an asset.

09 Feb 2026 16:25:03
Leafs can’t fit his cap space without retention. They have as of now $3.2m. Jarnkrok $2.1m Laine $8.7m, fo the math it doesn’t work. Move on.

09 Feb 2026 20:30:46
Are you including ltir relief? We have more moved to make and 2 weeks after the Olympic break to fiulgure it out. I would expect a formal update from the Leafs on the 23rd or 24th on the injury situation. We still have a couple. peices to move out yes. But this can be done without retention.

09 Feb 2026 22:50:18
lol
Good one hrenklin
Give it up already.

09 Feb 2026 23:24:47
Im still confused though. YOu said the leafs get paid to take on his whole contract. But now you are saying they have the money to cover it. So they are actually not getting paid to take it on.

10 Feb 2026 12:23:18
Seriously Hrenkin, Laine? But why am I surprised.

10 Feb 2026 13:31:29
Yes that’s including LTIR move on this is a ridiculous trade post.

10 Feb 2026 21:07:51
I’d do it who was selected after Matthews that draft year?

07 Feb 2026 14:47:00
Let’s try this younger retool/ rebuild scenario:

To Tor: Sennecke, Colangelo, Luneau, 2026 1st rd pick, 3rd rd pick 2027

To ANH: Nylander, OEL

2)
To Tor: Guenther, McBain, Tij Iginla, 2026 2 - 2nd rd picks, 2026 3rd rd pick

To Utah: Matthews

To Tor: Isaac Howard, Podkolzin, 2026 2nd rd pick

To Edm: Woll, Maccelli (50% retained ), Domi

To Tor: Soderblom, 2026 2nd rd pick

To Det: Reilly

Next years starting lineup:

Knies JT Sennecke
Guenther Laughton McMann
Iginla McBain Robertson
Soderblom Roy Howard/ Colangelo/ Podkolzin

McCabe Tanev
Luneau Danford
Rifai Carlo
Stetcher/ Benoit

Stolarz/ Hildeby —3rd - AA
Squired picks:1sts:1, 2nds: 4, 3rds: 2.
Now this is a rebuild/ retool.

07 Feb 2026 15:51:21
Maybe a bit too many forwards as I never even mentioned Cowan, Lorentz or Joshua.

07 Feb 2026 16:08:02
Sam Colangelo and Tristan Luneau the next great ones or something?

07 Feb 2026 16:21:02
They would be solid pick ups, but Sennecke is the real key to the deal.

07 Feb 2026 18:03:18
Matthews and Nylander aren’t being traded. Just stop.

08 Feb 2026 16:35:02
How do we trade our 2 best players and not #one D or centre in return?
More bad asset management.

09 Feb 2026 03:45:06
Can’t trade Matthews unless a center is coming back in the deal.
Otherwise trading Matthews leaves the team with only Tavares, Roy and Laughton at center.
At the very least McTavish would have to be one of the players in the Ducks package.

10 Feb 2026 23:59:05
@CKPS1876 You do realize this site is more wishful thinking and a tossing of potential trade ideas right? If those two big names were to be traded at some point (And who is to say it could not happen? No-one thought the Rantanen deal that came out of nowhere was going to happen let alone him getting dealt 2 times in the same season. ) I think Clarky17 was pretty accurate on the return rate for both of those players although I think the Matthews deal would involve a extra leaf player in the mix. No offense Clarky but I would add the player and then swap out the 2 2rd round picks in 2026 for a 1st instead in 2027. Good Post though.

06 Feb 2026 17:37:00
To Tor
2026 1st
Wright
To Sea
Mcmann
Maccelli.

06 Feb 2026 17:47:12
How does SEA get better with this deal?

06 Feb 2026 18:04:03
So who is Shane wright being traded for? Macelli?
and McMann is being traded for the 1st round pick?

If I am the leafs I say yes to both of those but I if I am Seattle I would fall off my chair laughing before saying no. I am pretty sure that even though McMann doesn't have a no trade contract the Leafs are smart enough that is they deal him they would consult with him and his agent on what team he would most likely want to sign with as a free agent prior to the Free agency kicking in. I think McMann is worth a first round pick in the late half of the round but a team will only give that if they are sure they can sign him. As far as Shane wright for Macelli for sure I would love that deal for the leafs, but Seattle has a massive amount of prospects that they will be bringing up in the near future and Macelli as a RFA will be looking for a raise so homegrown prospects Logan Morrison, Jagger Firkus on the farm team or Jake O'brien who if not for a Injury in December would be comfortably leading the OHL in scoring all would be cheaper options than Macelli. I think to do this deal the leafs would have to sweeten the pot with another body that is young and under contract.

07 Feb 2026 03:14:33
B4 u talk look at stats. Mcmann is the 1st which if u look Seattle has 2 in 2026 and 2027 so they can easily give up one of them for a 30g scorer with a low aav. They need scoring. Wright has not lived up to his potential has 22 pts in 56g. Maccelli has 24pts in 46g and is trending upward with his play. Looking like the guy who got 56pts a couple of years ago. You r taking a chance on Wright. Not worth more than that no matter how many unready prospects they have. They r in a playoff spot and need to add scoring and these 2 guys do that.

07 Feb 2026 13:28:55
Wright could use a change of scenery for sure. His confidence there is so low. If he finds his game, he has a ceiling of a 2C and a low as a 3C. C carries more value than wingers. He just turned 22 and had 44 points last season with 19 goals.
Seattle is set up pretty good cap wise next season and could afford to re-sign McMann and Maccelli. That said, I doubt they have given up on their former 4th overall pick so much that they basically give him away when he had a 44 point season last year. They probably are looking for a 1st as a return and know it won't be top 15.
I doubt Seattle would even consider this.

07 Feb 2026 13:59:45
So yes McMann only earns $1,350,000 but what will he earn next year and can Seattle sign him? Otherwise they gave up a 1st round pick that was a rental player. I think truthfully because he has flourished in Toronto that they sign him sooner than later. He is a good fit here but he may not be in another city. The only reason his name keeps coming up is because he is one of the only real assets that doesn't have any trade restrictions at all in his contract.

I have to respectfully disagree with the Shane wright for Macelli. Sure Wright has not put up explosive numbers But in the last 5 to 10 games he has turned his game up as well. The one thing he has doen well is adapt to two way hockey. In plus minus he has been a plus In every season he has played games for Seattle. However Macelli has been a Minus player during his career and in a saw off of numbers I will take the better two way player anytime. Plus I think as Seattles younger prospects enter the league he will flourish maybe not as a explosive player but a John Tavares type with lower numbers in the 60 to 70 point range but still be sound defensively . To add scoring to Seattle before the young gunners get there it would take bigger names than these.

08 Feb 2026 14:10:23
He’s a dud plain and simple and anyone acquiring him is taking a gamble. Keep suffering. 67.

08 Feb 2026 16:33:32
@ Blowhard If you consider Wright such a dud why would you suggest a to trade for him?

09 Feb 2026 03:48:33
More silliness from the Blowhard!

09 Feb 2026 16:29:15
Cause you will grab a 1st rd pick for Mcmann and u get rid of Maccelli who will cost you more than wright next year in arbitration. Wright won’t even make 900k next year. Don’t talk until u look at the whole pic 🤡 worth the gamble 🥴.

05 Feb 2026 22:39:28
Tor: Stolarz. Mcmann


Edm: Hyman


I’m too tired to figure out cap but I’m sure with
Adds and retention this would be a solid base.

05 Feb 2026 22:58:00
Edmonton says no thanks.

06 Feb 2026 04:01:32
Oilers didn’t start to win with regularity until Hyman returned from injury.
When Hyman was lost for the balance of the playoffs last year Oilers began to struggle.
Hyman is the glue that makes this team work.
I can’t imagine they would be interested in trading him.

06 Feb 2026 15:23:25
Leafs are asking for a first for mcmann just came out.

07 Feb 2026 13:18:00
They are likely not trading Hyman. They are looking to add to try and win a Cup.
