Tor: Reilly, Miles Wood, and 2028 2nd
Van: Future considerations
15.8 mil cap space
Tor: Cowan, Tinus Luc Koblar, Danford, OEL (3.5mil)
Detroit: Edvinson signed 7x$9mil
10.3 mil cap space
Tor: 2027 Col 1st, 2027 2nd, Bilecki
Carolina: Nikishin 7x$9mil
Defence pairings are
Edvinson - Raddish
Nikishin - Tanev
McCabe - Stetcher
Why get one when you can get both and instantly change 1/3 of our defence?
04 Oct 2026 13:12:55
Too much for Edvinsson
04 Oct 2026 13:46:29
I don't think Cowan needs to be added as Detroit is a desperate mess right now.
04 Oct 2026 14:01:04
Detroit may be a mess but there’s still 31 other teams calling about him, they aren’t going to give him away to a division rival for free.
04 Oct 2026 15:15:30
Canucks not giving up the rest of their cap space on those 2 players but nice try. Leafs have to take some salary back in the trade for sure. TBH they have no interest in trading for Reilly.
04 Oct 2026 11:39:09
Chayka with his big brass balls should make this trade.
Tor: Nylander OEL 1st (Col) Luc Koblar Beleki
Det: Larkin Edvinson
It addresses the 2c spot move jt down or to the wing and it addresses the top 4 d Toronto maybe adds another pick.
04 Oct 2026 13:11:55
Nylander wouldn’t agree.
04 Oct 2026 19:49:19
That’s a big over payment by the Leafs.
04 Oct 2026 00:03:42
Toronto trades
Rielly & Miles Wood
To
Vancouver for 4th in 2027 & Defense prospect
Toronto then trades
Danforth, Luc-Kolbar, Colorado 1st in 2027
To
Detroit for Simon Edvinsson
Sign Edvinsson to 7 yrs 9 million
03 Oct 2026 21:50:51
Would anyone be interested in doing a 7yr x 8.5M for Simon Edvinsson? Because 5 is lower then 7 we would have to give up 2 1sts, 2nd, 3rd which is a high price but do you guys think its worth it?
For anyone that doesn't know:

03 Oct 2026 22:54:05
Nope. And they don’t have the picks to do it anyway …. Has to be their own picks.
03 Oct 2026 23:18:49
Yes they do.
We go into the later drafts (i.e. 2029 and 2030) and what's stopping us from acquiring our own picks back?
What would you give up for him in a trade?
Joshua and/or Domi for cap reasons, but what picks? And what number would you resign him at?
04 Oct 2026 15:04:55
It’s only 1st rd pick not 2 if u offer $8.5m. And Wings match that easily so not going to work.
03 Oct 2026 18:00:05
Leafs: Luc-Koblar, 2027 1st, + a lesser prospect
Canes: Nikishin
03 Oct 2026 22:54:47
Just find a way to dump Rielly first.
02 Oct 2026 20:53:44
So question for everyone, I know @suffering will be on this lol.
Could we offer sheet Nikishin at 1x4.4? The compensation is 1 or 2 second rounders, then make it up in an extension, something like 7 x 8 or 7 x 9 million, so the man gets paid. Just curious!
02 Oct 2026 19:51:34
You need your own draft picks to pay the compensation. Plus, Carolina match.
02 Oct 2026 20:49:52
Ya absolutely I believe we have our own 2nd round.
02 Oct 2026 20:51:32
Ya, they could match and have probably offered way more and he didn’t agree so moot point right?
02 Oct 2026 22:46:48
@Lgm That's a dirty move, but would be very funny lol.
If I'm not wrong, Canes can't trade him for a year after signing an OS. If I'm correct in that, he would never sign the OS knowing he's then still in Carolina.
03 Oct 2026 05:05:34
I don't want to disappoint you LeafsGM. He can’t be offered sheeted. Yes he is a RFA but hasn’t played enough games to be offer sheet eligible. So a trade is the only option for him to leave.
Last I heard they had offered 8 years in the 6.5 range but he wants higher with less term. Not sure if we have enough to offer them in a trade without stripping some good prospects.
03 Oct 2026 14:59:00
Cool, thanks guys. Definitely some things I didn’t think of there.
04 Oct 2026 15:08:14
You think they would take Reilly $1m ret., plus Col 1st and say Danford for Nikishin? I can’t see Reilly saying no to the reigning Stanley Cup champs. Add another forward prospect.
02 Oct 2026 01:01:23
Here’s a fun unrealistic thought
Tor: McKenna and OEL (for cap and value)
Montreal: Lane Hutson
Who says no?
01 Oct 2026 23:07:24
Leafs
01 Oct 2026 23:58:53
@CKPS You cannot possibly believe the Leafs say no.
02 Oct 2026 18:42:43
At this point I agree the Leafs say no.
02 Oct 2026 22:47:39
You guys must be insane. You can only dream of finding guys like Hutson. He is a future 1D if not already. The guy is an absolute stud.
Unless McKenna turns into Kucherov, he will never have the value Hutson does.
01 Oct 2026 22:20:30
I think Columbus not naming Werenski captain says a lot about their expectation he stays with the team long term. Listening to some of the podcasts of “insiders” seems like others agree. I don’t think we should rule them out on Werenski.
Cowan’s stock is pretty high right now, Columbus wants players more than prospects, and we’ve got a good relationship with Don Waddell and Columbus
Tor: Cowan, Danford, Col 1st, OEL
Columbus: Werenski
We have 7mil in space so the money works and Columbus would want a Defenceman back (reason they wanted Andre in Marchenko deal) so OEL can still play 2nd pair
Or would we rather pay Danford and Colorodo’s first for Nikishin?
01 Oct 2026 20:51:33
Unfortunately, Cowan is making it difficult to trade him. Add that we just traded Knies. I'm not sure 1. of the other young wingers is the best course of action right now.
01 Oct 2026 22:39:00
I really like cowboy. I don't think I do this
01 Oct 2026 22:58:52
I agree he’s going to be a great player, but if Columbus is even close to as high on him as we are, just positionally a winger for a top 3 defenceman in the league is a no brainer to me.
01 Oct 2026 01:42:02
Chayka,
You had no problem trading Lives. Please get rid of Rielly as he is making Raddyish look very bad.
Toronto trades
Morgan the Bum Rielly, and a prospect
To Seattle
For Vince Dunn.
01 Oct 2026 00:58:49
If Raddysh is as good as people say he is, Mo isn't making him look bad.
I actually think Mo has been better on the top pair.
01 Oct 2026 15:20:47
I've been barking about getting Reilly's stock up high enough this year that hopefully at some point we could 1-for-1 it.
Hell, if they can get a 1st for OEL somewhere else, I'd be ok with packaging Reilly, COLs 1st, and the 1st from OEL for both Dunn and Wright.
Now, the Leafs would still need to figure out another LHD if OEL goes, but I think we're still a net upgrade after such a deal.
01 Oct 2026 15:57:09
LL, Let's not forget that Rad had Kich down low or off to the side feeding him. Kuch created ample space for Raddysh whereas Matthews is down low/off to the same side looking more for the one timer.
Feeding Raddy from the Left D is a hard, dangerous pass, something Morgan imo is weak at: passes and holding the line when the bodychecks are incoming on him.
Maybe Matthews needs to open up the down low and trust Raddy to find a sweet spot where his boomer can become more available from the backend.
Psssst not saying Matthews has to do that all the time because if he sees the shot, he will take it.
Imo, I wouldn't mind seeing Gavin on the pp, setting up where Kucherov did letting Matthews just zoom around, find space and leave space for others.
Raddy's boomer has to be implemented more often.
01 Oct 2026 16:39:47
They blamed Raddysh for the goals against Montreal. Ffs Reilly was just standing still on those two goals. He is terrible and needs to go at any cost.
01 Oct 2026 18:15:52
@Thatguy I agree completely on that TB PP being very different. Nobody on the Leafs PP will ever be Kuch and it did help a lot.
I'd also like to see that shot coming in more, but I want JT off that 1st PP. He just had not handled it well through two games imo.
01 Oct 2026 19:32:09
@LL Swap JT with McKenna. Have McKenna be on the RW boards like Kuch. Get Matthews below the goal line. And shift around for 1 timers like Tampa power play.
01 Oct 2026 19:52:35
@Hrenklin I like that idea as well. That second PP has looked way better than 1PP imo.
30 Sep 2026 21:54:09
Nice to see everyone swapping forwards and trading assets for piece we really don't need at this point.
I think we are one more piece away from being as complete as we can given our assets.
Defensive upgrade is where we’re at so let’s try.
Tor: Cowen 2027 1st add a prospect or more picks.
NJ: Hamilton 50% retained.
30 Sep 2026 20:03:41
Lol, how on earth do you think this is a good trade?
30 Sep 2026 20:20:16
I don’t. I’m trying to flip the script on trading for forwards.
01 Oct 2026 12:08:41
Leafsgm…. Trading Cowan and a first for Hamilton at this stage in Hamilton‘s career is absolutely ridiculous.
I’m totally on board with getting another defenseman. I’d even be on board with getting Hamilton… But not for that price and if you get Hamilton, Rielly has to go.
01 Oct 2026 13:35:37
I realize that but that’s probably the only package we could use to get an upgrade on defense. I realize the target sucks but was hoping to spark some ideas.
01 Oct 2026 16:41:13
Cowan is not going anywhere! lol especially for a washed up Hamilton.
04 Oct 2026 15:11:40
Not in a million years.
