11 Oct 2026 22:03:56 To TOR: D - S. Edvinsson
To DET: D - E. MacKenzie + 2027 1st (Col) + D - OEL + F - D. Joshua + C - T. Luc Koblar
Detroit gets a 1st and 1 of the Leafs top prospects, plus another really good D prospect. They also get OEL who is signed cheap and they can flip him for more assets. They take Joshua to help make the salary work.
Leafs sign Edvinsson to a 7 year $70M deal.

Morgan is starting to feel the heat again in Toronto.
Sundin meets with Morgan to ask him to re-evaluate a trade to Vancouver and states how great the Canucks organization was to him and points out how comfortable it could be reuniting with Luke Schenn.
Morgan gives Mats the nod of approval and Chayka gets on it!

With Tanev's potential injury, let's find a pending UFA to replace him.
Tor: Wood, Holinka, 2nd
Car: Chatfield
Jalen is a defensive skater. Closes gaps quickly and not as costly as Nikishkin. Makes less than 5m and we can dangle a great 4x6m contract. He has a cup experience. And no trade protection.

Carolina is the defending champs. They are top of their division. I can't think why they would trade a D they are currently counting on 20+ mis a night from, for a guy they could have taken on waivers and a couple of futures. They have almost $10M in cap space and a huge trade chip in Nikishin sitting there.

With Tanev exiting tonight with upper body injury, I believe his days of playing hockey are done. All Jake Muzzin. Your health is more important.
That frees up another $4.5m. Plus including OEL in the package frees up another $3.5m. Plenty of cal to sign Nikishin. He plays both right and left side. Perfect replacement for Tanev or OEL.

No! That’s way to much to give up for him. Edvinson sure but not Nikishin.

More than I would want to give up for Nikishin. The again, I am not as high on him as some others. He had a very good first year in the NHL, but was given some sheltered minutes and can get careless with the puck. Assuming he continues to progress I see him as a #3 ceiling, likely a very good 4 who can play all situations, but not a stand out in any particular area. In the playoffs last year, his ice time dropped and his minutes got more sheltered.
Only member of their D-core who was on the ice for more goals against at EV than for. Leary of giving big money and trading high end assets foe a guy who took until 24 to get to the NHL and was given sheltered minutes and even more so when the playoffs started. The 1 pt in 17 playoff games doesn't make up for the sheltered minutes.

Can you guys imagine the top 9 if we got a new 2c. Even if it’s just Shane Wright for Colorado 1st, Chadwick, 2029 2nd or something like that. The new lineup in the future would be
10 Oct 2026 20:33:58
We need to upgrade on D before anything. But I am behind getting Wright. Everyone's argument was he only got 27 points, but Seattle's systems are garbage and I'd put him closer to 60 on a team that knows how to play offense. Seattle's highest scorer last season was Eberle at 55 points.
DET: Matthews and Tanev
TOR: Larkin, Edvinsson and 2nd 2027
CAL: OEL
TOR: Whitecloud
ANA: Reilly and Joshua and 2rd 2028
TOR: Mintyukov
MTL: Wood and Stecher
TOR: Xhekaj

The first trade is a joke. Matthews alone would get that return.
OEL doesn’t get Whitecloud.
Xhekay is a third pairing D at best. But Wood and Stetcher have little value, so whatever on that one.

Not even gonna mention the Matthews trade but I’m confused on why everyone wants more defensive dmen that don’t move the puck well. The Leafs main problems are pretty much all because our dmen can’t move the puck well. Then when we get into the zone it’s essentially a 3 on 5 unless Raddysh or Reilly are out there.

TO DET
OEL($3.5m) Chadwick, Holinka, 1st Col, Wood($2.5m)
Sign Edvinsson 8x$8m
With LTIR guys plus $6m going back to Wings you have plenty of cap to pay $8m. Can always make more room sending guys down. Or make minor deals freeing up more cap. Hopefully sooner rather than later trade Reilly with some salary Rey if u have to.

Zero chance that Detroit takes that. You’d have to add Danford.
Agree0Disagree0
10 Oct 2026 14:00:33
I think the Wings are looking for younger established NHLers and don't think OEL would interest them unless the rest of the return is young NHLers. Not sure they would take on a cap dump like Wood unless the return is bigger.
Agree0Disagree0
11 Oct 2026 00:24:57
So replacing Danford for Chadwick get it done? Or u think Holinka for Koblar would have to be swapped as well?

OEL $3.5M
Tverberg $.850M
2027 2nd
Tor
Solberg ELC
Gaucher $.866M
The one thing Anaheim could really use is a solid vet D-man. They are playing Luneau and LaCombe 25-30 mins a night. OEL would be a good steadying D for them. Tverberg is there for contract total reasons.
Leafs get 2 heavy, young players. Gaucher, imo, still has room to grow into a mid/bottom 6 power type forward who plays a physical game and Solberg is that hard hitting, defensive shut down guy who could get some NHL time even this season. Gaucher doesn't have to clear waivers if the Leafs assign him directly to the AHL. Leafs clear some cap and get younger on D.

I like it except for losing OEL without a replacement. This D corps really concerns me for an 84 games season and (hopefully) playoffs. If another move comes after, I think it's a good one.
If it is this in a vacuum, I really don't want to lose OEL right now.
Agree0Disagree0
09 Oct 2026 16:14:51
From Anaheim I'm looking at Ethan Proczysyn. Is more of a middle 6, with leadership and already defensively responsible. While being center and RW power forward.
Agree0Disagree0
09 Oct 2026 16:45:34
Hrenklin. I get that, but Gaucher was already on waivers, so he doesn't hold much trade value. Switch him Pro and the asking price goes up.
07 Oct 2026 05:03:34
Not sure where to start….. Xhekaj is a side show not an NHL D.
OEL doesn’t get Greenway.
Agree3Disagree0
07 Oct 2026 10:06:39
Greenway was on waivers last year in Buffalo. And he has one point in 4 games. I’m pretty sure OEL gets you Greenway and maybe a late pick as well.
Agree0Disagree0
07 Oct 2026 13:43:50
OEL Gets you more than Greenway and a late pick, we are not trying to get slower,
Why would we trade Roslovic for a 6th -7th D-man, because he can fight, we have enough Pylons on the backend, don't need to add more D-man, with defensive issues.
Agree1Disagree0
07 Oct 2026 14:48:27
Roslovic looks great. Why are you putting Greenway on PP1 lol? And OEL certainly gets you Greenway.

You guys were much nicer than I was going to be thanks for responding to this.

07 Oct 2026 23:18:31
Sorry but Roslovic is playing very well and one of Matthews' best friends. Montreal would never trade with the Leafs. I like the Greenway-OEL deal... but Greenway could be had for Joshua or Wood.

Somebody isn't watching what's going on with our club.
March - Matthews and Ros are becoming a force.
These trades mentioned above are a farse which makes you look like the F in farce is silient.

Have you even watched the leafs this year? Roslovic has been great.
