Nope I’m not willing to trade Matthews for anything.

22 Apr 2026 22:21:26
For anything? Really? Not saying this is a good trade but he is untouchable at all.

No one is untouchable but this trade is a joke.

I meant he is not untouchable.

22 Apr 2026 23:15:11
I’ll expand on that he's set to break every franchise record of the most historic franchise if he’s playing for a couch that isn’t trying to change or dictate how he plays incorrectly. So who on earth other that McDavid and using the word maybe or hopefully can you replace him with, and why on earth would you gamble to find out?
Agree2Disagree0
22 Apr 2026 23:39:22
LeafsGM78, you are looking at who he was and not what he is. Here is a for instance. There are a lot of players even younger than McDavid or McKinnon or Kucherov or the like that if he was offered to them they would not give up a player straight up for him. Think San Jose would trade Celebrini straight up? Think Islanders would trade Schaefer straight up.
Those players completely change the complexion of a team single-handedly. They didn't have John Tavares in his prime or Mitch Marner and William Nylander as support. Matthews can be replaced with a ton of players with a 1st round pick added. I won't go into them all but there are a lot.
Agree2Disagree0
23 Apr 2026 00:00:55
There comes a time when if you are a fan of your team and a fan of a player. We sometimes have to take them off a pedestal and do what is best for your team. There is no reason you can’t cheer for that player to still play well elsewhere.
We can get sentimental and not do a thing this year and we will all be here next year talking about trading the same players and missing the playoffs again and again. We can’t let their value keep shrinking until we have hardly anyone of value.
Agree1Disagree0
23 Apr 2026 00:13:35
Gee thanks, dad. August 9th, 1988, the day I became a Leaf fan after moving back to Ontario from Edmonton and I cheered for a player and not the team he played for. Sometimes you just have to realize you short side and ungrateful for what you have. You can’t just trade in your perfect wife for a younger model. lol.
Agree0Disagree0
23 Apr 2026 00:14:29
Oh and Matthews did change the complete complexity of this franchise.

23 Apr 2026 00:16:00
We can keep blaming superstars for the rest of the team being less than adequate.

23 Apr 2026 00:42:42
So he changed it all by himself.
The day he arrived?
Agree0Disagree0
23 Apr 2026 01:41:02
Nope. Bit 70 goals and a Hart Trophy is a good start oh and a playoff team for ten years. Pretty damn good in my opinion but you’re right go Sharks and Islanders.
Agree0Disagree0
23 Apr 2026 02:09:32
Not sure what you’re trying to say non of those players have done what he has or will do the coach limited his production along with injuries that I’m sure he has recovered from. Gretzky had Kurri Lemieux had Jagr and Francis Hull had Oates so as far as I’m concerned every single elite player ever had a supporting cast. Anyway my opinion you’re an idiot if you think trading Matthews and or Nylander pushes the team further. This is why I hate being a Leaf fan I lived through Harold Ballard not spending money on decent players lived through a team that almost did it with Gilmore and company.
Now we had a team that made the playoffs for a decade and we boot one of the league’s best out while threatening his family apparently and are ready to blow it up why? Cause they haven’t won a cup guess what it’s hard to do so why not say hey this team is damn good Matthews and Nylander or Marner were never the issue the leafs have had a crap defence for a decade and counting but yet these three are the problem…come on
Agree0Disagree0
23 Apr 2026 01:42:25
Washington should’ve gotten rid of Ovy too right for a first round maybe.
22 Apr 2026 16:55:03
Here is one to chew on. I heard it the other day when I mentioned one of my past suggestions to a group of guys. One of them came back with this idea.
Toronto Sends: Matthews, OEL and a 2nd round pick in 2027
Dallas Sends Back: Wyatt Johnstone and Thomas Harley.
Dallas saves a Precious $2.25 million which they desperately need on their cap.
Toronto gets 2 Elite players and gets a lot younger.
I told him I would post it and see the feedback. I said some will say Dallas will want more and others will say Matthews is worth 2 more 1st round picks lol.
Believable3Unbelievable0
22 Apr 2026 20:52:45
Tempting but I’m really not a fan of trading Matthews.
Agree0Disagree0
22 Apr 2026 20:53:40
I like it, Suffering!! I think the 2nd should be coming to us since we’re losing the best player in the deal plus Wyatt is a winger. We could even relieve them of Tyler Seguin's contract if they move it to a 1st rd pick.
Agree0Disagree0
22 Apr 2026 21:03:13
Wyatt Centers Rantanen Clarky. He can play wing if he had to. But Dallas has had him as a Centre for 2 seasons. As far as losing the best player, that is arguable right now. Johnston is prety much at the level of Matthews and getting better each year. Harley is way better than OEL. That's why we need to offer the 2nd.
Agree0Disagree0
22 Apr 2026 23:07:52
Matthews alone gets that return.
Agree1Disagree0
23 Apr 2026 00:47:15
Dallas gives up both Harley and Johnstone just for Matthews. Well, ok, if you are Dallas GM and I am Toronto’s GM, I’ll do that. Lol
21 Apr 2026 21:04:13
So just read this as I’m sure many of you have.
Knies to Chicago for top four pick this year along with interest in Reilly, so how about
Tor: Knies Reilly
Chi: top four pick Vlasic 2nd
If Leafs retain on Morgan maybe another mid pick comes in. I think Chicago comes out slightly ahead so I would expect a retention.
Believable0Unbelievable0
21 Apr 2026 20:23:19
They would probably want Carlo over Rielly to be honest.
Agree2Disagree0
21 Apr 2026 20:34:50
Which is fine by me.
Agree2Disagree0
21 Apr 2026 22:05:56
So an unproven player although drafted top five they should be pretty dam good but still. For Mathew Knies a 23yr old Unicorn Beast that is only getting better plus has 3 yrs to go to hit his prime? He’s 23! Only 3/4yrs older than the kid we draft.
I’m not sure, I mean I get the allure with potentially 2 exceptional players from the top five from this year, plus a 2nd and a 3rd from a deep draft. Not sold on it tho. Kinda think we build around Knies.
Agree1Disagree0
21 Apr 2026 22:38:03
Thank you for talking sense Henry!!! I do not get these people that keep trading Knies. Mathews, Nylander and Mo is what should be leaving, not our 23 year old unicorn (as Henry put it). We need to change the culture and identity of this team.
Do we really think trading Knies is the way to do it? Or the guys that have set this culture over the past decade? I get everyone has an opinion but why Knies??
Agree2Disagree0
21 Apr 2026 23:00:45
Not trading Knies unless the other team grossly over pays …. And this trade ain’t that.
Agree2Disagree0
21 Apr 2026 23:45:43
At least my last Trade suggestion for Knies had Thomas Harley coming back.
Agree2Disagree0
21 Apr 2026 23:54:20
@ Clarky. The reason Knies' name always comes up is because he literally is the only player of any real value that is tradeable (No trade restrictions). The team is handcuffed in that regard. Sad state we are in that way.
Agree0Disagree0
22 Apr 2026 00:59:57
Trading Matthews and or Nylander is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.
Agree0Disagree0
22 Apr 2026 01:38:32
If Chicago's first round pick is to 2 and Leafs stay in top 5 why wouldn’t you make this trade and they wouldn’t have to retain on Reilly cause they have a boat load of cap space to take on his contract. You get elite left winger in McKenna or Stenberg to replace Knies.
Then u get your top RD with your own pick. I would say add a 1st rd 2027 as they have 3 of them plus the 2nd and Vlasic. It sounds like a good haul plus you have just opened up 15.25m in cap space.
Agree0Disagree0
22 Apr 2026 10:02:18
Clarky thank you sir! I’m definitely with you. Champ, I do get your thought process 100% still, Knies is still so young himself and what we’ve been looking for for so long. I just don’t think we go and trade that just to look for it later. I do however think May 5th could dictate the outcome.
We fall out of the top 5 I could see the Leafs pulling the trigger on a Knies trade. We stay in the top five even get graced by the hockey gods and end up top 3 I think Knies stays. Unless as CKps stated it is a massive over payment, if not we stand pat.
Agree0Disagree0
22 Apr 2026 10:49:18
@ckps1976 That is not realistic. Teams are looking to try to find a balance trading a need for a need. If there is a teams G.M that knowingly willingly grossly over pays for a player, If I am the owner I am not firing him. I am taking him to the back 40 and having a good old fashioned hanging.
Agree1Disagree0
22 Apr 2026 12:35:53
If your trading Knies, there can't be a hopeful coming back.
Agree0Disagree0
23 Apr 2026 00:24:24
Hopeful comeback?? You r talking getting a guy like McKenna. If Leafs pick lands in top 5 now u have 2 that's crazy. McKenna is a left winger which has more potential than Knies did at his current age. You guys can’t be serious. Like I said if they add another 1st rd pick for 2027 on top of the original post. It’s a good deal.
21 Apr 2026 17:48:24
Pretty wild trade idea vol 7,06
Rielly for Adam Larsson, Winterton, and a 2nd-round pick (or first round?),
Giving Toronto a true top-pair defensive RD and depth two-way help. Rielly would then be replaced in the summer with a big-ticket signing.
I see Winterton as a potential steady 3rd-line smart two-way guy who could hit ~40 points in a good season. Coachable player, still developing, and reportedly very motivated to work on weaknesses.
Oel for Nate Schmidt straight up hey, same cap, age etc but more reliable defensive play from Schmidt.
Domi for Ben Meyers and a 2nd-round pick to add a faceoff/4th-line center.
Brandon Carlo to Dallas for Esa Lindell, upgrading versatility and puck-moving.
Joshua and Lorenz moved for mid-round picks to clean up the roster.
Overall: less offense from the back end, but a much more 2way game and defensively solid group. Then maybe try to trade a physical forward like Brady Tkachuk-type player in the summer to balance it out again.
(X) - Larsson
Lindell - Schmidt
McCabe - Tanev if healthy and Villeneuve.
Depth: Benoit, Phil Myers.
Who is the X?
Believable0Unbelievable0
21 Apr 2026 18:51:34
What reason does SEA have to acquire Reilly and give up Larsson?
What reason does DAL have to give up Lindell, who has a good cap hit over many years, for Carlo, who can walk at the end of the year?
Agree3Disagree0
21 Apr 2026 20:03:37
Not to be insulting but this trade is complete gibberish. Ok maybe I am insulting.
Agree3Disagree0
21 Apr 2026 23:03:21
Laughable. Reilly would barely get the second. Domi may get a third, not a second and a player.
21 Apr 2026 18:52:41
It would take more than a top 5 pick to pry Knies away, but it'd be a start.
One thing is that if the Leafs are giving up Knies for a player who may not even play next year, then that signals a rebuild, at which point, 88 & 34 are on the move too.
Agree1Disagree0
21 Apr 2026 20:22:21
The pick is currently #2. Gives us much better leverage to draft a ultra skilled prospect and trade for a legit #2 center.
Agree0Disagree0
21 Apr 2026 21:39:01
So you are trading Knies for a #1 pick. I get your statement about drafting an ultra skilled prospect. But how does this trade allow us to trade for a #2 center?
Agree1Disagree0
21 Apr 2026 22:39:50
I wish there was an option for a thumbs down 👎

21 Apr 2026 23:38:58
I have thought that for a while, Clarky.
21 Apr 2026 18:32:14
Assume for the sake of argument, Matthews would go to Columbus.
Clb
Matthews $13.25M
Tor
Johnson $1.8M
Olivier $3M
Del Bel Belluz $.860M
Cayden Lindstrom Unsigned
Jackson Smith Unsigned
Columbus has lots of cap space and Matthews/Fantilli down the middle would be one of the best one-two punches in the League. D. They are deep. They have space to fill out the roster.
Toronto would hope for a bounce back from Johnson. Olivier adds the toughness that can take a regular shift. DBB has produced in the A, now hopefully at the next level. Smith is a potential top pair offensive D that plays with physicality and has size. Lindstrom a future power forward centre. Leafs get much younger and even clear some cap space.
Believable0Unbelievable0
21 Apr 2026 18:54:20
Lindstrom might not be as valuable as once believed, and I don't know if CBJ would want to make a splash like this.
Agree0Disagree0
21 Apr 2026 20:12:40
Again you can’t trade Matthews then have the word hope after it, it’s not smart.
Matthews for Gretzky and hope Gret plays like he’s 20.
Agree0Disagree0
21 Apr 2026 20:31:56
Hoping Johnson can bounce back and saying hopefully DBB (a lower piece in the deal) is ready for the NHL at 22, can't be said. lol
Smith and Lindstrom are the big targets. Olivier and Johnson are next about equal and then DBB.
Agree0Disagree0
21 Apr 2026 21:43:24
If this trade is made and the first time the teams meet. Matthews is cruising up the middle and Olivier, who is now playing for Toronto, smokes him with a hit. Who on Columbus steps up to straighten that out. You can have the most skilled guys on Columbus, but Olivier is one guy who should be a undradeable player from that team.
Agree0Disagree0
22 Apr 2026 00:09:52
@RLF... Who says Columbus has lots of cap space?
Agree1Disagree0
22 Apr 2026 02:18:29
15 players signed and $40+M in cap space would normally be considered a lot of cap space. You can point to players like Fantilli needing to be signed, but $40 mil is still a lot of cap space.
How they use it is up to them. If they had a lot less space and still those players to sign, I would think then they have a problem.
Agree1Disagree0
22 Apr 2026 14:32:42
Well if they did that trade. They add Matthews' contract and subtract Johnson's and Olivier's, that takes $8.5 off that $40 so now they are at $31.5 and down another player, so that is 14 players signed. So if Jet Greaves signs for $5 that brings it down to $26.5 and Fantilli signs in the $9 to $11 range. We will say $9 to help the cap a bit here. That brings it down to $17.5. Now they have 16 signed with 7 more to go.
Your first line stays intact with Fantilli signed. You added Matthews so he has Garland on his one wing. Sillinger is on that 2nd line but needs to be re-signed as a RFA/ Coyle was centreing it but is a UFA if you wanted him to move to 3rd Centre. Third line Marchment & Jenner are UFA's and you traded Olivier away.
4th line: Heinen is a UFA, Johnson you traded away, and Monahan is left.
To keep those UFA's the only one who would possibly take a home down discount is Jenner. So you have to sign those players or find other comparables which is hard with the salaries players are getting now. They will also have to replace Gudbranson on defence who is a UFA and they most likely will not bring back.
That is a lot of major holes to fill with $17.5. So yes on the surface they have money but a lot of spots to fill.
One player I would never let go if I had him on my team is Olivier. He can actually play and he makes your team seem 2" and 20lbs heavier and braver when he is on the ice.
Agree0Disagree0
22 Apr 2026 17:29:43
Every team faces this when they have good young talent needing post ELC contracts. Columbus has the 5th most cap space available. i.e., a lot of cap space. I get what you're saying, but every time someone says that a team has objectively a lot of cap space, you check out who needs signing and post, do they though? This could be said for multiple teams every year. They have choices they will have to make - in this case, get Matthews or try and keep every one we have, even though we missed the playoffs - again.
If they wanted Matthews, they would make it work by moving out other contracts like maybe Merzlikins and/or Fabbro.
Reaves has taken over, so a $5.4M backup in Merzlikins.
They could buy Merlikins out at cap hits of $2.58 this year and $1.4M next year. Fabbro is playing 3rd pair minutes at $4.125M. No trade protection.
Olivier is awesome and I doubt they would want to move him. Maybe the Leafs take Voronkov instead. He's no slouch either.
Point is, Columbus has the cap space to make it happen, but yes, they may have to do more work or let some goes go and not re-sign.
Agree0Disagree0
22 Apr 2026 18:34:34
Yeah I looked at a few of the other salaries. Voronkov is actually a pretty friendly cap for them. He still would have been a 42 point guy had he not got hurt or possibly a little more. So again another guy they would have to replace somehow. Merzerklins is a tough contract to move. High price for a backup and I think that is all he will be anymore is a backup. Even with Stolarz injury issues he is a better option for teams to take on at 3.7 than Merzerklins at $5.4. I like Columbus but they are in a quandry of rebuild or retool stage as well.
The team I think that will be active in the Free agent market or possibly a massive trade is Pittsburgh. They have that Big salary cap extra of $46.5 million. What sets them apart from Columbus is that Harrison Brunicke will step into one of their D-men spots at a ELC and one if not more of McGroarty, Zonnon, Horcoff or Koivunen.
Will step into one of the Forward spots at a ELC. Even if only one of them at forward then they have 4 spots to fill with $44 million.
That leaves them room to re-sign Malkin and Manta at roughly $12 between them. Still tons of money and draft picks and prospects to do what they need for that last 2 spots. They will be out of the playoffs early this year but then again they are in the playoffs where everyone said Dubas would not get them there for another few years and Sid would be gone etc. I will give Dubas credit, he stocked the shelves with the draft picks and they might have the deepest depth of any team with prospects.
Agree0Disagree0
22 Apr 2026 21:30:23
Again, that is all good. Pitt doesn't make a big trade. If they go after Matthews, I would wager that a couple of the ELCs you mentioned are headed Toronto's way. Then, likely at least a good roster player.
Now Pitt has to replace those talents and won't be able to depend on ELC salaries. As I said, all teams deal with it and they need to decide, do they want the big fish or stay with what they got.
Agree0Disagree0
22 Apr 2026 22:32:49
Oh Pittsburgh would still be able to do. Not all those names (and they were only 4 out of a lot more outstanding picks would be on Pittsburgh's lineup. I said one of the forwards and one of the forwards. If Pittsburgh did a Matthews deal yes a roster player and a lot of the other top prospects and draft picks would be given up but it still does not affect their roster. The roster player they give up is replaced by Matthews.
And they still have cap left over even if they traded for him. Just saying. We literally only have a few good pieces for prospects to consider going after anyone in a trade of that nature without giving up one of our legitimate stars. No matter what people think or say to do a retool we have to give up a big name and that might not get us into the playoffs. We are at the stage of rebuild and any that don't think so are really dreaming.
Agree0Disagree0
22 Apr 2026 23:13:21
Always good Convo's with you RLF.

23 Apr 2026 01:03:46
Hey, look who it is. Mr. Positive. Well, Champ... you are more than welcome to join in the convos at any time in a constructive manner. But are probably busy keeping you eye out for ...what was it agai....n hirings that will that will be Detrimental to the retool.
20 Apr 2026 19:19:50
Well here is one to toss out there and see how gets accepted or rejected. It actually is part Rebuild, part Retool and still leaves Nylander and Matthews intact in Toronto for now. I'll start with the Main one first.
Toronto- Thomas Harley, Rights to RFA Mavrik Bourque
Dallas- Matthew Knies, Rights to RFA Nick Robertson and a 3rd in 2027 it changes to a 2nd in 2027 if Bourque has 55 points or more next year.
I know everyone loves Knies, But we would be getting our Number one Defenseman and getting a #2 Centre so John Tavares can move to 3rd line.
Based on what Nick Robertson wants and Mavrik Bourque wants and Calculating Knnies and Harley in the mix we would be in the red for $4.75 million but Dallas would save that same amount and would help them to keep Jason Robertson and he finally gets to play with his brother.
Second Trade would be :
Toronto-Jagger Firkus and a 3rd round pick in 2027
Seattle- Reilly
The 3rd round pick would turn to a 2nd in 2027 if Reilly scores 50 points or more. So this trade would....after caluclating the first trade in and a entry level for Firkus put us in the Black by $1.75 million. It also gets us back the 3rd round pick we gave to Dallas give or take a few spots in next years standings.
Final Trade
Toronto-Hildeby and the Rights to RFA Macelli
Winnipeg Milic and the Rights to RFA Perfetti
Both RFA's are around the same in the stats and Salary, but Perfetti would bring a lot better two way player and Forechecker/penalty killer. Winnipeg needs more offense and Macelli might bring that if he doesn't have restraints on him to be as defensively sound there.
Leafs goaltending is crowded yes, and we do have to move Stolarz still and will. But I think Akhtyamov has the inside track ahead of Hildeby as the Heir apparent, but Hildeby would be a good fit in Winnipeg behind Hellebuyck ahead of Comrie and I think Milic is very close as well to the NHL as Akhtyamov. They both have one thing in Common. They win at every level they play at.
Final Trade:
Toronto: Marek Vanecker
Chicago: Domi and Stolarz
At first glance yes it is a Salary Dump but we are also getting back a very good young player who was a 1st round pick. THis trade would give Chicago a Back Up goalie and give Domi a new lease back where he had one of his very best seasons. We could even ask for Conditional Draft Pick based on his performance as well. We also save $6.5 after Vanackers Entry Level is taken into account. So total savings after all trades in Salary Cap is $8.25 Million
So when all is said and done we give up:
Domi
Stolarz
Hildeby
Macelli RFA Rights
Reilly
Knies
Robertson RFA Rights
then we get:
Vanacker
Milic
Perfetti RFA Rights
Firkus
Harley
Bourque
The draft Picks are saw offs.
Cap Saving $8.25 Million
Believable4Unbelievable0
20 Apr 2026 20:29:48
Tbh idk if Knies gets us Harley, I think Harley's value to Dllas is just wayyyyyy too high.
Agree1Disagree0
20 Apr 2026 20:59:27
That true he is very valuable. He however falls into a unique category on that team. He and only one other player on that team have large enough contracts and are the only top players on that team with no trade restrictions to make this trade work and help them with their cap. The other one is a couple million less than his and he is actually even more valuable than Harley.
Wyatt Johnston. Dallas has a extremely deep pool of young defensemen in the system but not as much so with forwards. That is why they might be interested in this. Mavrik Borque is a better player with a better future than Nick Robertson so that 3rd possible 2 round is kind of a extra incentive between Knies and Robertson to make this work on top of Dallas cap saving.
Agree0Disagree0
20 Apr 2026 22:18:24
Harley isn’t moving. Let’s start there and Bourque as a 2c is a stretch. The rest is ok, sure, although Perfetti is a guy I don’t see Winnipeg moving off of either.
Agree0Disagree0
20 Apr 2026 22:46:31
As I said.... Dallas is very deep at defense and some of their forwards no so much. No matter what they still have to shed salary. So never say never. As far as Mavrik Bourque being a number 2 here. Well he is playing on the 2nd line of Dallas and only reason he is not at Centre is because Duchene is healthy again.
And he is not Centreing the 3rd line because he is good enough to play wing on the second. But yes I know Dallas is no where as good as the Leafs so how could he possibly be our 2nd line Centre right? lol lol.

Rangers would never trade Schneider for Carlo lol thats pretty laughable.
Agree0Disagree0
20 Apr 2026 12:28:36
I agree with Mattyboy. I do not dislike Carlo at all as a person or for that matter a Hockey Player. He is still solid on riding his men off to the boards. But sadly the amount of injuries especially the concussions have taken away what made him so coveted to the Bruins and for many teams who tried in the past to trade for him. He was for all intents what Schneider is now. A big powerful guy that hit with nasty intent not to ride players off into the boards but to deter them for even thinking of coming onto his side of the rink with the puck or they would pay the price.
I wish Carlo the best of health and maybe if he is traded to a team with a earlier version of himself he will be a better fit than he has been here. We have to remember that the high price we paid to get him was not in his control; that was 2 G. M's that set that price.
20 Apr 2026 02:37:13
So if Rielly lifts his no-trade to go to Seattle, say Toronto gets Dunn back.
Also if Toronto could move OEL to Edmonton for 2nd in 2026 and prospect.
Then perhaps Toronto could sign the following UFAS for Defense:
Darren Raddyish
Mario Ferario
Logan Stanley
Jeremy Lauzon
McCabe Raddyish
Ferario Stanley
Dunn Lauzon
Thrun Tanev
Danforth
Villeneuve
Benoit and Myers traded.
Believable0Unbelievable0
20 Apr 2026 04:22:08
Dunn for Reilly???? We'd have to add Cowan and a first at least.
Agree0Disagree0
20 Apr 2026 12:47:33
I like Vince Dunn but have seen his game tail off the last few years after his one huge year. Why frightenly is similar to Reilly's tail off. They both are about the same size and the salary is a saw off. The whole point of most people trading Reilly is to free up that $7.5 not to replace with a similar age (Dunn is a few years younger) similar style player.
I would offer Reilly to Seattle for Tyson Jugnauth and a 2nd. And if it really came down to it. Just for Jugnauth to save that cap money and get a kid who made the AHL All Star game as a rookie. He might not be Quinn Hughes but if Hughes is a 10 he is in the 7.5 to 8 range which is a upgrade on puck movement from Reilly at this point.

Matt boy …… wouldn’t trade Cowan straight up for Dunn! Lol. Reilly and Robertson is plenty.
