NYR
Woll $3.67M
Robertson RFA
Tor
Cuylle $3.9M
Morrow RFA
Rangers get a good backup (has been an issue as Quick just doesn't have it anymore) to play with Shesterkin and some depth scoring and speed with Robertson, which they could use from losing Cuylle.
Toronto gets a big, physical winger who may thrive more with a new team and a hometown boy. Morrow has all the skills to be a good puck moving RD, but hasn't quite put it together at the NHL level. He is more likely to get a shot on the right side in Toronto than in NY.
06 Jun 2026 15:24:39
Nothing wrong with that!!
06 Jun 2026 15:36:00
Quick retired so they do need a back up.
06 Jun 2026 15:36:44
I would give up Stolarz over Woll. More term, higher cap hit.
06 Jun 2026 13:30:27
3-way trade
Tor gets - Larkin, Zharovsky, Reinbacher
Mon gets - Knies, Tor 2nd 2026 (It's not our pick but whatever one we have)
Det gets - Tor 1st 2027 (Col pick), Hage
Toronto gets 2nd line center and replacement for Knies, as well as, a d prospect
Montreal gets the guy they have wanted all year
Det gets a good center prospect to eventually replace Larkin and a 1st
McKenna-Matthews-Cowan
Zharovsky-Larkin-Nylander
Thats a solid top 6.
06 Jun 2026 15:11:22

Give me your trade post.
06 Jun 2026 11:16:24
My choice from Calgary (not too fond of the choices here) would be:
To Toronto: 6th overall, 2nd rd pick (2 of 4), Cooley, Klapka, Beecher RFA rights
To Cgy: 1st overall, Robertson RFA rights, Stolarz
Draft a D.
Cooley looked like one of the best goalies in the league at times last year on a bad team. Big fan of how calm and composed he is, at 29yo and making 1.35M for next 2 seasons. Klapka and Beecher fit my new identity.
06 Jun 2026 15:11:54
How bout no to both scenarios. 🥴
05 Jun 2026 22:32:57
Toronto:
Misa, Dikinson, Chernyshov & 1st (2nd overall)
San Jose:
Knies & Rielly (2.5 million retained)
———————————————
Toronto:
1st (3rd overall), 1st (24th overall) & 2nd (33rd overall)
Vancouver:
1st (1st overall)
———————————————
Draft - Stenberg 2nd overall
- Reid 3rd overall
05 Jun 2026 22:52:22
You’re not getting that for Knies and Reilly.
06 Jun 2026 15:13:54
Shw what are u 💨💨💨💨
05 Jun 2026 21:50:07
WPG
Hildeby $.842M
Tor
Walton $.956M
Helly is aging so getting a backup that is young and can grow with the team may appeal to the Peg.
Toronto gets a towering forward prospect who can skate and playmake.
05 Jun 2026 23:08:57
Done deal
6’6” center all day long.
06 Jun 2026 00:33:33
He’s aging lol aren’t we all?
06 Jun 2026 01:10:27
Lol. Yes leafsgm, we all are. He is heading towards his later NHL years. How's that?
06 Jun 2026 14:30:00
At 24 he’s in the later stages of his career?! I don’t disagree with the trade but 24 year old goalies aren’t exactly aging out of an opportunity.
06 Jun 2026 14:53:05
Hellebuyck is 33 (aging). Ie, WPG getting a backup that is young (Hildeby young) and can grow with the team may appeal.
06 Jun 2026 15:14:56
There’s a lot of 💨💨💨🥴🥴🥴 going on here lately
05 Jun 2026 19:08:24
I like where Golftown's head is at
.. trying to pry away Robert Thomas. It would help our team so much.
Maybe Cowan, Col 1st 2027, Carlo and Robertson? It's a lot to give up, but Thomas is a great player.
Draft McKenna. Keep Knies. Go hard after Tuch and Raddysh.
Tuch 6 years x $10M
Raddysh 5 years x 7.5 (same as Reilly)
Ferraro 5 years x $5M
Move Reilly out for the best available package.
Offer sheet Bourque in Dallas for $4.7M and if it works we only need to give up our 2nd round pick next year.
Bring Danford in the mix next season on the back end.
Move a goalie out for a young defenseman project. Next year lines could look something like this:
McKenna Matthews Tuch
Knies Thomas Nylander
Macielli Tavares Bourque
Lorentz Groulx Joshua
Raddysh Oel
McCabe Tanev
Ferraro Danford
Benoit
Woll
Hildeby
On paper that teams looks pretty strong and would have a window to compete for a few years. A lot of aging players but if they want to go for it now, that team should compete with almost anyone depending on who the coach is and what system they are playing.
Thoughts?
05 Jun 2026 20:18:48
I don't think Danford is ready for the NHL just yet. Let him fester and figure out the speed he needs to be at.
05 Jun 2026 20:59:57
I was about to say good job Rick, then I scrolled down and seen Maccelli?!?? On your roster and lost all respect for the post. Sorry, I don’t want to see that guy in a Leafs jersey again.
05 Jun 2026 23:14:57
Good prop
Better than mine
Picking apart the deal because of Maccelli on the third line and Danford. Third pair is petty
Fine, no Maccelli give Tverberg or Lettieri a look and replace Danford with Villeneuve.
05 Jun 2026 23:43:13
Hey clarky! I know I didn't really want to alot him in there too, but there is already so many things that need to happen just perfectly to get that roster the way it is. So there weren't alot of other options to pull out of the hat for that third line.
Unless they throw someone off the Marlies in that spot... but I'm not sure that is an upgrade.
I'd prefer to have Cowan there, but I had to give up someone significant to try to get Thomas back.
06 Jun 2026 00:38:24
That’s a huge contract for Tuch. He’ll be what 36-37 when it’s done. He didn’t have a good playoff. I know it’s a small sample, but I’m really hesitant even tho the lineup looks really good.
06 Jun 2026 00:46:49
I’d rather get Larkin than Thomas.
06 Jun 2026 02:03:42
Larkin will be 30 in a month while Thomas is 26.
Much rather have Thomas as our 2nd line center.
06 Jun 2026 15:21:15
Do your math, the money doesn’t work next.
05 Jun 2026 01:36:59
Back at the Rob Thomas scenario
Leafs
Thomas
Blues
Cowan
Woll
Robertson
05 Jun 2026 01:38:59
It's not bad, but I don't want to get rid of Cowen, he's young and skilled. Maybe we can look at him as center, even if it means starting him on the Marlies for a good run before the NHL.
05 Jun 2026 02:28:23
Great deal for the Leafs but I don’t think St Louis bites.
Cowan and Robertson are both closer to 3rd line players than 2nd line players.
After Woll’s disastrous World Championship teams may have a different view of him.
05 Jun 2026 08:42:53
Right now I don’t think the Leafs need a play maker which is what Thomas is. They will have McKenna and Cowan. I think they need a two way centre if anything.
05 Jun 2026 13:00:50
Lol Goat2.0
Do your homework before spouting off…
Robert Thomas is an elite, play-driving center for the St. Louis Blues known for his exceptional hockey IQ, world-class passing, and strong two-way game. Drafted 20th overall in 2017, he has developed into a consistent, near point-per-game player who dictates the tempo of the game and excels at creating high-danger scoring chances.
05 Jun 2026 13:40:45
@ Goat Thomas is one of the best 2 way Centres in the league. I love Cowan but if St. Louis bit on this I’d do it in a heartbeat.
05 Jun 2026 14:00:36
You beat me to it Golftown lol.
05 Jun 2026 15:14:24
That would be a tough trade to say no to as a Leaf fan. Not sure STL would do it. Depends on what direction they want to go and if this turns out to be the best offer, which I don't think it will be.
05 Jun 2026 20:56:10
I’m onboard as well.
Cowan is young but looks decent enough but so far one unacceptable distinguishing habit are his giveaways.
Woll is concerning as well; I’m no longer confident he is a #1 tender and Robertson, while getting better, each year has a low ceiling in my eyes.
Thomas is a great add!
05 Jun 2026 23:17:01
RLF
Add in the Avs 1st.
But with my luck they will be abysmal next year and it becomes top 3 😵💫😏.
06 Jun 2026 14:54:37
That is known a Leaf luck. lol
06 Jun 2026 15:26:45
Don’t want him, injury prone, has played only one full season so far in his career. He’s not even a point per game producer. You guys think too highly of this guy at over $8m a season for another 5, no thanks.
04 Jun 2026 21:29:42
To Tor: Larkin, Kasper
To Det: Nylander, Hildeby, Robertsons RFA rights, 2nd rd pick 2028
Knies, Matthews, McKenna
JT, Larkin, Kasper
For our top 6? Would love to get Larkin as he has asked for a trade out of Detroit.
04 Jun 2026 22:35:55
Detroit doesn't want any goalie prospects. They have 2 and are actively looking to trade 1.
04 Jun 2026 22:50:09
If he has made trade demands as Friedman has said, then Detroit is not going to be getting a Nylander or another big name. That also has a no trade. It will be to a team that has some veterans that Larkin would like to play with that also has cap space and prospects and Draft picks to woo Yzerman to trade him to them.
Do I see Kyle Dubas and Sidney Crosby waving to Larkin? That would be a game changer adding him in Pittsburgh.
04 Jun 2026 22:50:39
Change to Stolarz and turn that 2nd to a 3rd. If they want a ready now goalie.
04 Jun 2026 22:52:48
Not nearly enough from Detroit. Another top prospect and Cossa. Leafs can then trade Stolarz.
05 Jun 2026 00:23:07
Barzal for Larkin
05 Jun 2026 02:31:04
Love the deal for the Leafs but I imagine any deal for Larkin will require a center coming back in the return package.
Looking at Detroit's lineup, they do not currently have a suitable 2C so trading their 1C without a center coming back in return would be a no deal.
05 Jun 2026 08:44:53
Larkin is the type of player Toronto needs. I just don’t see a fit trade wise unless it’s something like Nylander for Larkin straight up but Detroit will want a centre back.
06 Jun 2026 15:32:10
Too much from Toronto
04 Jun 2026 15:30:55
I know this would be controversial for some, but I think the Leafs should look at Michael McLeod. I'm sure he will face backlash from some fans, acquitted or not. I liked him when he was in Jersey and wanted him as a Leaf.
When you look at how well Hart is playing, I wonder if McLeod could now translate his game better as well. Almost a point per game last year in the KHL. He would probably take a lot of verbal abuse from some fans though as I hear Hart is.
04 Jun 2026 14:53:20
I've been for it. He's a good young player. Incredible on the faceoff circle. I'm fully down to turn heel and just do what's best to win a cup over being politically correct. We can get him on a sweetheart deal because of the bulls***.
04 Jun 2026 15:06:29
The majority of what negative tings Hart hears are not in his home rink. McLeod would hear it way worse here, and if he had a bad game, it a stretch of them it would be a monstrous distraction to the team.
He is better suited if he comes back to the NHL to find a city that doesn’t have the crazy coverage the Canadian teams all have. He can just leave to rink in Russia and many NHL cities where no-one has a clue who he is.
04 Jun 2026 20:01:09
Hart was booed when he stepped on the ice and then the no means no chant started later. That was in Carolina. Not really a hockey hotbed or a state that really cares about what happens in Canada. Those guys are going to hear it at times no matter where they play in the NHL, likely worse in Toronto.
04 Jun 2026 21:19:13
Just cuz it's an unpopular decision, doesn't mean it's a bad one. The Leafs really need to stop being pushovers to the fans and players. It's time to do whatever it takes.
04 Jun 2026 21:29:54
@RLF. That was a pre planned strategy by the Carolina fans in a playoff game.
05 Jun 2026 00:05:30
I get that. They obviously knew about his situation or they wouldn't have a plan for it. Ie, as I said, even in Carolina, they know.
05 Jun 2026 00:22:09
It only takes one to know. It was planned on Reddit. The vast majority until the social media went all over it had no clue prior. He had been playing since Dec. in the league and barely faced anything. But McLeod here would be hammered even by his own fans.
05 Jun 2026 00:40:51
Unfortunately Leafs fans would go ape over McCloud being on this team even with all the evidence showing him being innocent. Id love him on this team he was a great player who unfortunately had his career ruined.
05 Jun 2026 01:04:45
Give him a PTO. I don’t see why not.
05 Jun 2026 01:42:16
He's top 10 in the NHL. He's been solid, and has a transfer clause in his contract.
05 Jun 2026 01:49:35
Top 10 in the NHL??????
05 Jun 2026 01:59:14
@Mattyboy Seriously. To use the word "Great" in describing McLeod as a player? This is a guy who was scoring at a rate of 24 points a season. I would say he was a ok player not "Great".
05 Jun 2026 02:41:39
And if it only takes one to know and they can plan it all through Reddit apparently, (which I guess that means all those people in the stadium are Reddit readers) I think that proves my point, not dismisses it. Kind of like the rumour that McTavish was slower because he bulked up started on Reddit, didn't it, Suffering? Probably being slower start of the season had nothing to do with the contract dispute and him missing most of training camp.
05 Jun 2026 03:03:18
It started on Reddit then spread to other social forums in the area. All I am saying is McLeod in this market would be a total distraction to this team. And what is the McTavish was slower because he bulked up thing about?
05 Jun 2026 12:09:09
Well, you were the one who mentioned that on here about Mactavish, which has been attributed to a Reddit contributor.
05 Jun 2026 12:46:09
First off, I am not on Reddit. Do I read links to it, of course. But I am not a member. Secondly, when did I say that about McTavish? I did say it about Knies, adding the extra weight that may have contributed to the knee issues.
If you can send me the post I wrote that about McTavish, with the date I wrote that, I will own up to it.
05 Jun 2026 12:47:30
@suffering KHL, phone auto corrected on me.
05 Jun 2026 12:57:05
@suffering Another note about his usage. He was stuck behind Nico Heirsher and Jack Hughes playing 12-15m a night his entire career. Still put up 19 points in 45 games starting 68% of the game defensively. Playing over 1m/g PK and a grand total of 6 minutes over 45 games PP time.
Now he's put up top 20 #s in the KHL. Yes I know I said top 10, but I looked much closer at his numbers. All he needs it to get out of the shadows and he will make name of himself.
05 Jun 2026 14:04:33
Suffering, it was probably 2-4 weeks ago on a trade discussion. I remember you wrote it and I had never heard that about him, so I tried to find where a coach etc had said that. The rumour apparently started on Reddit. You can believe me or not.
05 Jun 2026 14:19:39
Find it please so I can see it and I said if I wrote that I will own up.
05 Jun 2026 15:06:42
I have no idea how to search back that far or even if you can. Like I said, if you don't believe me, that's fine.
05 Jun 2026 21:01:32
I’d also give McLeod a try simply because he’s fast, gritty and has 2-way skills.
Like RLF I’ve liked him for awhile.
05 Jun 2026 23:19:14
Sign him up
06 Jun 2026 15:33:31
Does he really move the needle for the Leafs? No, so why deal with the backlash?
04 Jun 2026 15:12:20
Dallas: Hintz, Lundkvist, Lyubushkin, DeSmith
Toronto: Nylander, Robertson, Maccelli, Stolarz
04 Jun 2026 14:54:06
Oh God, no. Nylander is better than Hintz by a lot.
04 Jun 2026 15:02:22
Yeah you’re right. Was just for looking for some alternatives to the usual names mentioned this off season.
04 Jun 2026 16:25:19
Wouldn’t give Nylander alone for that.
04 Jun 2026 16:45:07
That’s an interesting one. When comparing the 2 players and the value to the team. You have to remember you are comparing a scoring winger who is horrible defensively at $11.5 to a very, very good 2 way centre who when healthy puts up 30 goal 70 point seasons.
At $8.45. So when you combine his points along with his defensive ability along with $3 million difference in salary it’s not that big of a difference. Plus centres are harder to find than wingers.
04 Jun 2026 16:45:49
Lol. I’d take Hintz over Nylander simply because he’s a centre and he’s got a better attitude. I like Willy, but I think some of the off ice stuff makes him come across as an unserious player. Also Lundvist is a underrated player.
05 Jun 2026 00:42:38
Nylander is 10 steps above Hintz.
05 Jun 2026 01:53:13
Explain your 10 steps above? I have never heard of that as a ranking of players.
