Would any of you go with Domi, Rielly, 1st, 2nd, 5th for Werenski?
Cowan was basically a second-round pick. In fact, if the Leafs didn't take him, I think he would've gone in the second round, and even though I think AA is better and younger than Domi by far, CBJ wants established players, so Columbus might value him higher.
This offer would be very similar to the offer @LeafsGM78 commented on my last post for Werenski. (Rielly, AA, Cowan, 1st)
Sign Boone Jenner 3x4.75 to replace Domi.

This may be the most embarrassing trade post yet…

29 Jun 2026 20:47:06 Maybe that package for Thomas Harley? I would like to hear your trade proposal be for either Werenski or Harley Without using Knies, Cowan, Danford or AA because that's what I was trying to do!

29 Jun 2026 20:55:20 Give it up already. If you are offering 2nd or 3rd tier talent for a Norris Trophy winner you will not get any recognition of being serious.

29 Jun 2026 20:58:35 Why is everyone still trading for Werenski? I thought we got Raddysh to fill that role. PP1 etc.?
I know this Zach Werenski stuff has been talked to death but I think it’s quite reasonable to compare this to the Hughes trade last year. Both recent Norris winners, both top 5 defense man in the league (you can debate generational vs great players) and while I would agree that Hughes is slightly better, Werenski flies under the radar even more than Hughes did in a Canadian Vancouver market.
To Minnesota: Quinn Hughes
To Vancouver: -Rossi (C) (2020 9th overall pick 21 points in 26 games at the time of the trade)
-Buium (D) (2024 12th overall pick 14 points in 31 games at the trade)
-Ohgren (RW) (2022 19th overall pick 0 points in 18 games with minimal usage)
-Minnesota’s 2026 1st round pick
To compare to what the Leafs would have to offer, Knies probably has similar value as Rossi (taking into account Rossi is a centre compared to Knies as a winger), Cowan probably has similar (to slightly less) value as buium, Danford is similar to Ohgren and Colorado's 1st is similar to Minnesota’s 1st
So in order to make this trade, it would probably have to look like:
To Columbus: Knies, Cowan, Danford, and Colorado’s first 2027
To Tor: Werenski
Not original I know but is this worth it??? It’s player heavy which Columbus wants, but there’s to Thomas Harley who is being rumoured from Dallas

I’m hoping Chayka finds trade partners for Reilly, Maccelli, Robertson, Joshua and Lorentz.
I’m okay with not winning any trade, just want some cap space to get a couple of solid UFAs and plug a few holes.
Reilly to SJS for either F. Bystedt or Carson Wetsch plus R4 2027.
Maccelli and Robertson to NJD for Dawson Mercer.
Dakota Joshua to WJ for R5 2027.
Lorentz to CA for R4 2027.

I would not be disappointed with any of that.
But we also need at least one more Dman.

Toronto will not do any of this, just look back at the players they have traded to bring in dead wood. There are more Leafs players on other teams than all of the NHL combined.
Toronto will not pull the trigger because they do not care if they win the CUP, they fill the arena anyway and this will not stop until people demand more. The blow jays are in the same boat.

For Any Trade with Werenski, I'm Not Giving Up Danford or Cowan, or Knies
Here is my sequence to get Werenski
Firstly,
Morgan Rielly
To the San Jose Sharks, For
2028 2nd Round Draft Selection
Next,
Dakota Mermis
To No Specific Team For
(Any Year) 7th round Draft Selection
Next,
2028 2nd Round Draft Selection (SJS)
2027 2nd Round Draft Selection (CBJ)
7th Round Draft Selection From Dakota Mermis Trade
To The Minnesota Wild For
2027 1st Round Draft Selection
And Finally,
Nic Robertson
Mattias Maccelli
2027 1st Round Draft Selection (COL)
2027 1st Round Draft Selection (MIN)
2027 5th Round Draft Selection (PHI)
In Exchange For
Zach Werenski
Does Don Wadell do this?
I like Chayka's plan to deal with Defence First -
Werenski-Raddysh
McCabe-Tanev
OEL-Andrae
Myers
Then we revamp our forwards after this trade and leave goalies till last to give AA more time to develop in the Marlies.

I’d go as far as Cowen, Reilly, A.A., and Colorado's first.

Already been said any trade involving Werenski starts with Knies. But you can’t give up 2 elite left wingers for him, so Cowan is off the table. But u will have to add Danford or Villeneuve and 1st rd 2027 plus I would say Robertson.
28 Jun 2026 17:47:56
Absolutely love Knies!
But, if Wenenski is willing to come here than it’s a no brainer! Have to go after generational talent when it’s available! My problem is facilitating trade without giving up Cowan!?
Col-Knies, Danford, 2027 1st, rights to Villeneuve, and a 2028 2nd
But probably gonna have to be Cowan too! (take out V & 2nd)
Thoughts?

Werenski is a generational talent? Since when? After the best year of his life? He’s very good. Full stop

Generational is a stretch.
I have three concerns about this. Listed least to most concerning.
1- They get Werenski and win the cup and him and Matthews hold each other's hand as they walk across the boarder mission accomplished.
2- Same as number one without the cup.
3- Through a GM's lens years down the road,
They have success, reach the final, decide to stay, and based on what was offered as of today for J.
Robertson I could see Matthews and Werenski want 6-7x 20 million to extend, and we’d also need a new contract for Cowen, Hildeby, and soon after Mckenna along with Danford. In that time frame it makes me get the feeling we’d be headed in a core four type scenario again, with Matthews and Werenski reaching their mid to late 30’s. It scares the crap out of me and if we don’t win the cup it’s a broken record again.

So let's see... As I determined your last thought it would be Knies, Danford, Cowan and a 1st. You are giving up a !st (I am assuming the Colorado one, which even late is still a 1st. You are giving up 3 players who at the end of Werenski's contract would still be under contract with us and Danford and Cowan would be blossoming at that point.
And... we get Werenski but lose Knies, and Cowan. What is your next plan for replacing the offence and the Future? I also think if Werenski and his agent saw what was going out from the Leafs to get him, he says no.

Look for the Leafs to acquire a good goalie in the next week!
And it’s not Bobrovski! Trade incoming soon!
Great inside sources.
