O'Brien or Catton, both centers, over Firkus. My preference is O'Brien since he is right handed.

26 Jun 2026 14:37:59
It won’t happen but I would go 7th 38th Catton and O’Brien. Gotta get greedy.

After all, Seattle made it known with the pursuit of Robertson, they are ready to make a big deal this year for someone to appease their fan base. The $15 they offered is pretty much in line with what other teams will be offering him. Dallas wants to offer him $12 to 12.5 and he wants $14, so with teams that don’t have the luxury of no state taxes like Dallas that $14 is actually around $16 m.

I think the fact they let Seattle and apparently St. Louis talk to he and his agent. They will be parting ways.

26 Jun 2026 15:13:16
Let’s get super greedy, add Robertson and Rielly and grab Dunn.

26 Jun 2026 15:22:04
I like the add on.

26 Jun 2026 14:45:38
Sharks
Knies
Carlo


Leafs
2nd overall
27th overall
Lund

Reason: Knies has not and will not be traded. Zero replacements with equal skill set, size, strength, speed, grit and personality all in one available in today’s current market. Futures doesn’t replace him and Matthews is not McDavid! He won’t be able to fire together a productive season playing with jobbers.

I agree. I think a lot of these rumours are smoke and mirrors. Yes, they are listening, but I don’t think they are willing to move him unless it’s an overpay.

26 Jun 2026 11:09:57
I’m glad we still have some Leaf fans with hockey IQ. These guys like Hrenkin, plus many more constantly trading this guy, tells me they have no idea what it takes to win in hockey. I’m keeping hope that Chayka is smart enough not to trade him.

26 Jun 2026 13:44:33
Stick
You forgot to mention in a year he will only be able to play 30 games a season going forward due to ongoing concussions and a wonky back and ACL knee surgery…

26 Jun 2026 14:14:07
Clearly, I'm glad you don't understand certain things. Trading a young winger with term for a hefty return that fills I portant needs is how I bring up trading Knies. We have 5 billion left handed stick players on the wings and a massive hole at center.

We're drafting another left handed stick winger and still have a massive hole at center. How do you expect to trade for a legit #2 center using players like Dakota Joshua, Maccelli, and Robertson, to add to the draft picks we also don't have.

Are we going to use our younger players like Cowan or Danford, ornate we going to trade prospects we haven't even scratched the surface with in Koblar.

The reason Knies is tradeable is we have McKenna coming in, Cowen looked comfortable playing with Matthews and Nylander. We have issues that a big body left handed winger that has no trade protection would solidfy our long term center depth that true contenders need to have.

Leafs trade Knies, Reilly, and Colorado 2027 1st to SJ for picks #2 and #9

Trade #2 to St. Louis for their 4 1st rounders (11, 15, 16, 29)

Probably some room to move up again ie #9, #11, #29 for Calgary’s #6 or Seattle’s #7 to have more selection but one of the 5 defence or Bjork will be available at 9 and then the Leafs have 4 more firsts.



I like the idea of getting Chase Reid at #2 but if he’s 1-2 years away anyway I would rather have 5 players (#’s 9, 11, 15, 16, 29) who are 2-3 years away.

25 Jun 2026 21:38:17
So
Knies Rielly 1st 2027 2nd overall 2026.
We get back 5 1sts 2026, only one in top 10 at nine overall.

You hang out with SnoopDog??

25 Jun 2026 22:39:13
Yup, me, Snoop and buddy’s girlfriend’s brother from the post above ^^^.

Those 5 picks plus 1st overall and we’re taking 20% of the first round!

26 Jun 2026 01:29:45
Nylander to the Flames and we get 2 more 1sts.
Matthews to the Rangers and we get 2 more.
McCabe and Tanev and Robertson to the Sabres and we get 2 more.
Quillan OEL Tavares to the Canucks and we get 2 more.
Hildeby to the Kraken we get another one.
Stolarz to Nashville we get another one.


Cowan to the Jets we get another one.
Joshua to the Isles we get another one.
Lorentz to Utah we get another one.
Carlo to Kings… we get another one

I like this plan.
What’s the cap floor?
Ah never mind with all these picks surely one will win the Calder!!!!

25 Jun 2026 18:11:48
Would you?

CBJ
1st OA

Tor
Werenski $9.6M (2 years left on contract)

25 Jun 2026 17:22:15
Not a chance

25 Jun 2026 17:42:26
Absolutely not

25 Jun 2026 18:42:44
If we were literally in a position that he was the one player we needed immediate for the Cup race yes. But we are not close and there is no guarantee he extends and the extension can’t even be discussed before July 1 of 2027.

If he decided no…. Then we are trading him on a sign and trade to someone else and we lost out on the 1st overall pick. He is a great player but we need much more to reconfigure this team.

25 Jun 2026 19:00:15
No thank you. Look at what Quinn Hughes go then post. 1st rd pick is a lot different than the 1st overall pick.

25 Jun 2026 19:14:20
Fair enough, I am not sure I would either. Interesting how the reigning Norris Trophy winner, in his prime, isn't worth the 1st overall pick in many eyes.

25 Jun 2026 19:17:14
Suffering. I am pretty sure you would agree if Werenski was the one player the Leafs needed to go on a Cup run, they wouldn't likely own the 1 OA in the first place. Plus Werenski only has a partial no trade in his last season, so if he isn't going to re-sign, you could trade him at the deadline for a boatload.

25 Jun 2026 20:27:05
That partial no trade list really in a player's last year is almost redundant these days. Because it usually only comes down to one team. The one the player actually will do a sign-and-trade contract with. Yes, a team wants to win a cup but if they give up a boatload and he gets hurt or the team falls shy, if he signs elsewhere it comes back to bite them, or if he does sign a large contract with them does it come back to haunt them. Case in point... Rantanen with Dallas. They gave up a lot of picks and Stankoven and while Rantanen is a very, very good player, Dallas is now in a world of hurt cap-wise, still have not won the Cup and watched as Stankoven provided Carolina with what they were looking for when they asked for him specifically in that trade.

Not to mention with Werenski, teams have to watch their future cap if they think they could get him to stay. They say Makar next year could be the first $20 million player. So Werenski, if he has another couple of good years, will not be far behind that. Yes I agree that we would not have the 1st overall pick if we were in that position. So if we didn't have that pick to offer, how far would we strip our team to get Werenski in that scenario? That is why the San Jose rumour that is floating of them interested in Werenski is interesting. Because they have depth at draft picks this year as well as forwards to offer that won't strip their roster that much.

25 Jun 2026 20:33:55
Champ. What does Hughes have to do with this? So, Quinn got 3 former 1st round picks all under 24 years old and the upcoming 1st round pick. Buium 12th OA. Ohgren 19th OA. Rossi 9th OA and this pick is 24th OA. What's your point?

25 Jun 2026 20:51:29
Suffering. Sure, going after pending UFA's at the deadline hurts if you don't win, they get hurt or don't resign. All GM's know it, but it has never stopped teams from doing it though. Not long ago, the Leafs gave up a 1st and 4th just to get Foligno. Gave up a 1st, 2nd and 3rd + prospects to get O'Reilly and Acciari. Like you said, the Raantanen deal. etc etc etc. Werenski has a 10 team trade list which he has to provide start of the his final season of the contract.

That is 10 teams he approves and they could move to him to at the TDL. I'm pretty sure he is only putting teams that are good on that list and/or where he might like to play. Much different clause than a 10 team no trade list where the player could still end up somewhere he doesn't want to be.

25 Jun 2026 23:02:27
Exactly my point not the 1st overall pick. All outside of the top 10 except for Rossi and jury still out on him. Hughes won the Norris trophy and was also a finalist. Werenski not worth the 1st overall pick and u asking what Hughes has to do with it means u don’t know hockey.

Its called a comparable. Werenski is 2 yrs older. Cmon RLF. You r smarter than that

26 Jun 2026 09:05:11
With what is happening in the NHL with American players I would be hesitant to pull the trigger not to mention that I don’t think adding Werenski makes the Leafs a slam dunk contender, so personally I think it makes more sense to take the young player who then becomes a cost controlled asset to hopefully build around.
