I actually like both of those deals believe it or not. I am not a huge fan of McTavish in a lot of the trades, but his one actually works in the Salary range and asset given up. I would still shop for a another Centre though with more speed and I would put McTavish on the wing.
The second trade addresses the Type of puck moving defenseman we are looking for and if by some fluke someone does pick a d-man with the #2 pick then we take Stenberg as we know Vancouver would take McKenna. If McKenna and Stenberg are both gone, now we have Buium we take Malholtra.
30 May 2026 13:27:35
I have loved this Vancouver trade scenario since Mike Futa put it out there. It's probably the only way I would trade our 1OA.
Hopefully it comes to fruition.
30 May 2026 14:43:03
The Anaheim one I have seen thrown out a couple of times now, and for the Leafs, it should be a no-brainer. I can't see why Anaheim would do it. They are loaded on the left side D.
The 2nd one makes me go back and forth on yes and no, which to me means it's a good prop.
Would Van give up the talented D they got back for Hughes just to get McKenna? Would the Leafs pass on McKenna to get Buium and possibly another D or Malhotra? Possibly Stenberg. I think the Leafs would, not sure Van would.
30 May 2026 16:20:52
I would do that first trade every day including Sunday for the Leafs, but the Ducks won’t
They can have Sir Anthony Stolarz
We will take back Colangelo and a 3rd 2027
So...
Now the Canucks trade
I would expand it
I know Free Willy is adamant about staying
But who cares about his feelings
(I’m being the Vegas GM right now)
Nucks
Rielly
Benoit
Nylander
2nd 2027
1st overall 2026
Leafs
3rd overall draft Stenberg or Malhotra
Buium
Hronek
Boeser
Willy can lineup with his Swedish meatball center Pettersson
Rielly goes home
They can draft and probably will draft McKenna, saves his parents' air miles from the Yukon
Benoit is along for the ride
For my beloved Maple Leafs
Free agent signing Tuch and Jenner
If they draft Stenberg
Knies Matthews Boeser
Robertson Tavares Tuch
Cowan Jenner Stenberg
Lorentz Quillan Colangelo
You can drop Robertson to the 3rd line move up Cowan or Stenberg
McCabe Tanev
Buium Hronek
OEL Carlo
Villeneuve is first up in case of injury (read Tanev)
Then Benny Danford after him
Woll
Hildeby
Akhtyamov is first up when Woll pulls his groin by October 31
If they draft Malhotra
Second line becomes
Malhotra Tavares Tuch
(Ease Malhotra into the NHL as a winger
Or if you like move the ancient wonder Tavares to the wing and put Malhotra at centre)
Third line is
Robertson Jenner Cowan.
29 May 2026 17:41:32
Tor: Nylander, Carlo
Ana: McTavish, Sennecke, 1st, 2nd, Ethan Procyszyn.
29 May 2026 18:48:21
😂
Geez.
29 May 2026 19:40:04
They can keep McT
29 May 2026 21:56:08
If Anaheim would, yes from the Leafs.
29 May 2026 22:20:27
Let’s just go after AJ Greer.
29 May 2026 22:42:58
I agree, Randy Sears. That is a realistic and productive move.
29 May 2026 17:41:25
Would you guys do
Tor: Reilly, Robertson Col 1st
Ana: McTavish, Hinds.
29 May 2026 19:40:46
No I think it too much and I have no interest in McT.
29 May 2026 17:22:03
If the Leafs are looking to add a big, top 9 forward who will fight and take on heavyweights, I would think Jordan Greenway is available. Buffalo needs cap space, Greenway's minutes have diminished the past 2 seasons and he is on an expiring contract making $4M.
May not cost the Leafs more than a 3rd round pick if Buffalo wants to move his whole contract and don't want to take a contract back.
29 May 2026 20:16:39
That’s an expensive 4th line dude.
29 May 2026 22:01:11
He was a minimum 3rd liner until last season. Hence the diminished minutes I mentioned and them wanting to clear his contract.
29 May 2026 23:08:56
A Big dude that fights that is not that good of a fighter. At least get a guy that can win some. Espcially at that price point. Offer up a good trade for Olivier for a million less and you get a better point producer and a player that changes the course of a game when he fights because the other team shrinks 2 inches when he is on the ice.
A few years back when Green way was in the $2.5 range he might be a decent 4th liner but at $4 no way.
30 May 2026 01:04:04
Interesting, when I had a prop with Matthews going to Columbus and Olivier coming back, you said Olivier is pretty much untouchable, you felt. Now when I offer an alternative, you say go after Olivier.
Of course, I would rather Olivier. You don't get him for a 3rd. Never said Greenway is a good fighter, I said he will take on heavyweights. At least he will. What Leaf does now?
30 May 2026 02:18:01
Wow, tough crowd tonight RFL.
They don't know what they ate even typing.
Go prop.
30 May 2026 02:48:22
He is pretty much untouchable but if you are going after an enforcer that is going to get paid $4M make sure it’s one of the best. If I recall Olivier was really the only player that was any immediate value to us in that trade and would make sense if Matthews was here to play with him. Sorry can’t remember your guys in the trade.
What I know is Greenway is not worth $4 million. Olivier on Columbus is a major part of that team and affordable that’s why it would be hard to get him. But if you are trading a Matthews or Nylander to do it you need to be replacing some immediate offence as well in that trade.
30 May 2026 03:02:37
I know everyone hates Division trades and especially with Boston. They have a much more affordable guy who woukd fit the role and can play a good reliable game Mark Kastelic at $1.5.
They have Jeannot and Zadorov so he could be had. We need to tread lightly though as we always seem to get bit with Boston trades. Maybe we do a 3 way deal to avoid the jinx lol.
30 May 2026 04:13:45
Suffering. The whole point of pointing out Greenway, was he's a guy that you can acquire for very little. Yes, he is paid too much, that is why Buffalo would move him for very little. Thought it was explained at the start.
30 May 2026 09:35:43
@RLF I view Greenway as a Dakota Joshua look alike. I would rather see the Leafs target a two way player with speed.
30 May 2026 11:26:52
A. J. Greer is a good but not great fighter but he brings a grit with good hard hitting and can score a bit too. I would rather see Florida sign him to $2 million and then trade him to us for a 3rd or a 4th similar to the way the Marner deal went down.
He would take 10% of our current available cap and bring more to the table than Greenway at 20% of that available cap. My opinion only, of course. Some might share and others might not.
30 May 2026 12:17:25
We can bring up different guys and that's great for conversation. Who knows what Greer signs for. He had 17 goals last year. I would think he is hoping to get paid. I am not saying Greenway is ideal, just should be cheap to acquire if the Leafs are looking for such a player.
I am not even a big Greenway fan. Just pointing him out as a possibility.
30 May 2026 12:31:35
I guess my look at it is yes he is cheap to acquire but expensive to have.
30 May 2026 12:55:22
My earlier Greer comment was meant here, sorry.
30 May 2026 13:03:38
Suffering. That's fair and I don't disagree. There may be no alternatives though that come to Toronto. That includes any of the D UFA's.
29 May 2026 16:37:14
A few trades to change up the roster for next year
First, the potential deal of Rielly to the Sharks:
To SJS: D - M. Rielly
To TOR: F - Q. Musty + 2026 2nd
San Jose gets the veteran D to help them clinch a playoff berth next year. Leafs pick up a 2023 prospect who still has not made the NHL plus a 2nd.
and
To BUF: D - B. Carlo + 2027 2nd + 2026 3rd
To TOR: D - B. Byram
Buffalo has multiple RFA's that need new deals plus trying to sign Tuch. Byram can also sign a new extension, but has this 1 last year on his current deal. The log jam on D creates a situation for them to make a move.
Carlo's deal is half the cost of Byram.
and
To PHA: G - J. Woll + F - M. Maccelli
To TOR: RW - O. Tippett
Philly has a huge logjam at RW. With Konecny long term, plus Martone and Foerster, who Foerster can sign an extension this summer and Martone needing a new deal next year, they can parlay Tippett into a starting goalie.
and
To UTA: F - N. Robertson
To TOR: C - B. Hayton
New Line up
McKenna Matthews Nylander
Knies Tavares Tippett
Cowan Hayton ****
Lorentz Quillan ****
Byram OEL
McCabe Tanev
Benoit Stecher
Would look to upgrade at top pairing RHD as well as depth RW players.
30 May 2026 02:24:07
Would rather Lauzon UFA and Raddyish than Stecher and Benoit.
Groiux will be the fourth line center next year.
And they will probably sign at least 2-3 UFA forwards.
30 May 2026 09:35:26
Your evaluations are a tad off. Reilly isn’t getting that return, neither is Carlo. Right idea, but truthfully Reilly maybe gets them a pick and a blue chip prospect unless the Leafs are packaging something with him that has good value… And Carlo same thing, he’s got some value because he makes so little.
I’d rather keep him and then maybe use his as trade bait at the deadline. I don’t believe he is as bad as he was last year, so if the Leafs could add another righty and move Carlo down it could look different
30 May 2026 13:06:30
Actually I think Tbuds proposals are very good.
I quite like the targets and think the opposing teams would view the proposals as legit.
The Sharks absolutely need D so a 2nd and Musty are certainly close. And I think “tad” means close.
The Sabres need to offload salary (Byram) if they want to resign Tuch. They will then need a responsible Dman at half the price; enter Carlo.
A 2nd and a 3rd add value!
I love the Philly trade, might consider replacing Woll with Stolarz but not sure.
Exchanging RFAs with Utah is also a good one.
Personally I don’t resign Stecher and I’d trade Benoit for a 3rd or 4th and replace with UFA Logan Stanley for his toughness.
29 May 2026 14:45:44
First post!
I'd like to see a second line C and a puck moving d somehow
Could this idea work.
Rielly and Robertson
For
McTavish
He's young and locked up for a few years. Plus he's not super loved in Anaheim right now.
Plus Robertson could sweeten it enough as a plucky young goal scorer.
As for the D.
I heard a few people talking about Buffalo wanting to get something else in nets.
How about
Stolartz and a second
For
Byram.
And then free agency I really want Laughton back. He was misused under the previous coach and I really think he could be huge with culture development.
I don't think this alone fixes anything. But with some other smart moves it could be a pretty good looking team again!
29 May 2026 15:51:27
If Anaheim needed LHD's, there could be something there to work with. Problem is, they don't and Rielly struggles on the right side. I do believe there could be something that revolves around Carlo and MacT. I have mentioned before Carlo, Stolarz for Mact T, Luneau and Husso. If the Leafs were willing to take on Husso, may be a deal Anaheim would look at as they have good LHD puck movers, which Luneau is, but from the right side.
A more stay at home vet RHD should appeal. Stolarz, when healthy, is an upgrade on Dostal and Husso. This also gives the Ducks more cap space for UFA D-men.
I don't see Buffalo giving up one of their young top 4 D for a goalie. But, maybe you're right.
29 May 2026 23:14:13
Stolarz and a 2nd for Byram? That is a new Walt Disney Fantasy movie.
30 May 2026 13:13:19
Personally I’m not opposed to Mason McTavish; I think everyone is too critical of his skill set.
Remember he is only 23yo.
He’s been criticized for lack of consistency which could be a function of youth and how he’s been handled by management.
I’d be okay with him as a 3C this year and waiting until next year to put Tavares at 3C.
28 May 2026 11:40:57
The greatest offseason
At the draft the leafs in the first 3 rounds select
Gavin Mckenna
Ethan Mackenzie
Brady knowling
Free agency
Laughton 5x4
Marchment 6x5-6
Trades
Tor: Reilly hildaby 1st (avs)
Van hronek
Tor: 2nd 2027
Col: Colton
So starting with the draft Mckenna for obvious reasons then I'd take Ethan Mackenzie scouts say he's a two way player that plays with a mean streak he put up 22 goals this year in the whl. And knowling replaces hildaby in the goalie pipeline.
In free agency 5 million seem like a lot for a Laughton but I love what he brings to a team hard nose player good pk guy who can pot one every now and again. Marchment is a player the leafs should have at the top of their free agency list he that gritty forward that has high end talent I think they might have to slightly overpay for him to come though but he slide in nicely to the middle 6.
And lastly the trades hronek wants no part in being in a rebuild which is what Vancouver is doing Toronto sends hometown boy who says he prefers the west if traded, along with hildaby an nhl ready goalie since demko is injury prone and their backup could stop a beach ball. And the late first. I think it's fair value hronek becomes the 1rhd and pushes tanev down.
As for the Colton deal I think it's simple the avs just got swept they have zero cap space so the leafs take the cap dump of 4 million and Colton becomes a big part of the teams 3rd line with the ability to move up.
Leafs do all this without moving out too much from their roster cap space for the first time is there so I'm curious to see how it's used.
Mckenna Matthews knies
Marchment Tavares nylander
Cowan Laughton Colton
Joshua groulx Lorentz
McCabe tanev
OEL hronek
Benoit Carlo
29 May 2026 15:56:17
I like a lot of it if no big guys are being moved. I don't think Laughton is worth more than $4M per max and I like Laughton. I would like to see McMann in that mix and nix the Colton trade.
McKenna Matthews McMann (the McMatthews line lol)
Knies JT Nylander
Marchment Laughton Cowan
30 May 2026 09:42:51
@RLF McMann eh I don’t hate him as a player but he’s super streaky and not as physical as I’d like. What’s his contract look like? He put up almost 30 and it’s probably his only chance to get paid…
As for Laughton I think someone will pay him what he wants, which is 5x5.
Seems rich but in another year when the cap jumps again it likely looks more like a 3.5 million dollar contract… I think the Leafs need what he brings and with Berube gone he might actually get a chance to play.
30 May 2026 09:42:53

Woll
Quillan
Trying not to include Knies…
San Jose
Rielly
Leafs
Sahlin
Ducks
Carlo
Leafs

I’m a rebuild guy
This goes against my philosophy
So I tried giving the Dark Side a chance…
Cap works
Better win 2 Stanley Cups next two years!!!
29 May 2026 08:52:07
I don’t think you need to sell the farm to get McDavid. It would be something like 1st overall Cowan, probably another 1st and another prospect. McDavid doesn’t have any term so there’s risk for any team trading for him.
29 May 2026 09:31:25
Goat
Your suggested package is essentially the same as mine, maybe even more expensive.
😂😂😂
28 May 2026 23:27:54
To Vancouver
#1 overall, Robertson and Morgan Reilly
To Toronto
#3 overall, Buium, Boeser, Hronek.
29 May 2026 02:08:07
Like the move but Toronto would have to add a defenceman, say Benoit.
29 May 2026 13:47:36
Buuim a third likly being a D and Hronik would be a crazy D revamp.
Plus Brock could be sick in the top six.
28 May 2026 21:46:56
Like to start off by saying congrats to the Marlies winning game 1 in Calder Cup finals. Crazy with the lack of draft picks we have had that we still have a solid AHL team. One thing Treliving did do was bulk up our AHL D men and they look pretty good.
AA has been playing all the games and he is getting peppered every night. Brings up the topic of do we now have to trade Hildeby and Stolarz? Go with AA and Woll next year? Not sure if they will do that if this is just a quick retool.
Just cause of Wolls prone to injury and AA hasn’t played many NHL games. What are your thoughts on who they keep and who they trade? They have to do something with Hildeby this coming season. Maybe a sign and trade?
28 May 2026 22:50:41
I’m not a Woll fan for many reasons. Stolaz, when healthy with that frame—if he did get hurt, I think the Leafs would’ve gone to the Cup Final instead of Florida. That kid is lights out for me. Keep AA and Hildeby; similar frame to Stolarz and trade both Woll and Stolarz.
Lo, if we could use either of them for Wallstedt and have Wallstedt, Hildeby and AA and the other—either Woll or Stolly—traded for whatever a good pick or Defensive prospect, I’d feel pretty good about contending.
28 May 2026 23:12:11
Hey Clarky. Yeah, they do have a bit of a issue there for sure. I would maybe still shop Stolarz as part of a package somewhere. We don't have to do anything with Hildeby contract wise as we still have him signed at a low number until end of 2028. However he still needs to clear waivers if sent to the minors.
I want to see A. A get games in at the NHL level too. So perhaps there may be a few times we actually will have to carry 3 goalies on the squad during the year. Not ideal but it would not hurt us Cap wise just on how many position players we would have to send up or down.
28 May 2026 23:53:39
C'mon LeafsGM, you can't say you are not a fan of Woll for many reasons and not give any of them? Indulge us.
29 May 2026 00:35:53
Ok, the bobble head. Now this is a bit technical but there are two parts to a save
1. The puck hitting you
2. Where it goes afterwards
If you watch Woll, he is really good at number one but horrible at number 2, and I’ve seen it time and time again. After he gets a piece of the puck, he has no idea where it’s going. That’s a huge problem.
Look at Montreal's series winner against Tampa for reference. Woll is awful at controlling what happens after it hits him, awful at tracking the puck behind the net. He does the bobble head. Go watch the goals he’s let in against Florida and against Ottawa, and watch him lose the puck, lose track of it, and that’s unheard of to do it that frequently.
29 May 2026 00:37:51
@LeafsGM I’m a fan of Stolarz too, love the size and everything but for me you can’t be 240lbs and be a goalie. It’s too hard on your hips, joints and groins. If he was willing to lose 40-50 lbs, I would keep, otherwise it’s gonna be another year of injuries.
@Suffering, that’s what I’m saying with Hildeby, he either has to be with the big team or send him to the minors, which he will definitely be claimed.
Either trade him, carry 3 goalies, or let him and either Stolarz or Woll run the season? But I think AA has surpassed Hildeby and don’t think it’s right or fair if Hildeby is on the big club and AA has to stay another year in the minors after carrying most of the load for the Marlies in the crucial games this year.
29 May 2026 00:46:52
I think you owe both Hildeby and AA to wait til training camp to decide that. I think the natural peaking order would be Hildeby as he’s played NHL games but clean slight coming in to training camp.
29 May 2026 02:54:18
I agree with you Clarky. Stolarz is a large man and doesn't have that same dexterity and agility so is prone to more injuries. I would be looking at trading him to a team that is familiar with him like Florida, or possibly Edmonton. Hildeby I think might be a good fit in Philly as I think he would be an upgrade on Ersson. I would then look at seeing if we could land Gustafsson from Minny as Wallstedt is their guy now.
Then we try and pry another good young goalie in a trade to boost our depth but give A. A the bulk of the work with the Marlies and don't hesitate to bring him up when needed. As good as he has been in the Playoffs another season of consistency with the Marlies would not be the worst thing in his development.
Sorry I was confused when you said with Hildeby about a sign a trade.
