Imagine this!
Leafs snag Jesperi Kotkaniemi for several seasons and wave goodbye to Domi. Bonus points since Kotkaniemi's father is already on Toronto's scouting staff as a Euro scout. small world.,

On top of that, Laughton gets shipped to Tampa Bay Lightning for a 2026 2 nd-round pick coming our way summer.

No huge blockbuster moves, but decent deadline tinkering to inject some center depth and future assets.

That is a useless trade. Just moving one contract for another really and no improvement in the Leafs at all.

That would be wonderful if Kotkaniemi could be united with his father.

You know what would be more wonderful? If Shane Doan's son Josh could be united with him here in Toronto. However he happens to be very good and that won't happen.

After the last 2 games it has become fully apparent.

CRAIG BERUBE has lost the dressing room and needs to go. The rebuild needs to start and having him there is going to cause more drama than what will occur anyway.

My suggestion because we do need a body behind the bench who is used to constantly changing personnel is to bring John Gruden up from the Minors to take the reins for the rest of the year.

The next thing is to get rid of Treliving now and hope we can pry Ryan Jankowski away from Seattle for the G. M's Post. His hockey pedigree is insane. He is still only 51 and has been in hockey at so many levels starting as a Junior A scout in 1997. over the years scouted for the Canadiens, was a assistant G. M under Milbury and Garth Snow for the Islanders so he knows first hand what not to do as a G. M lol. Was with Hockey Canada for a 4 years span heading up scouting and player personnel for our WJC under 18's and WJC under 20's Was with Buffalo as Director of scouting for 3 years and with Arizona and Utah in the same capacity for 5 years and look at the Stockpile of young players they have. He is also savvy enough that he Picked Peterka in Buffalo and Josh Doan in Arizona and recognized they were both great players but would be better in different markets and he prodded Bill Armstrong to do that trade last year. Now he is one of 3 assistant G. Ms in Seattle. This guys Dad played years ago in the NHL and the Minors for many years, His Brother played University Hockey, His two nephews are hockey players, the one is a decent minor league player the other is Mark Jankowski with Carolina. His Uncle was 8 Time Stanley Cup winner, Hall of Famer Red Kelly. He has lived and breathed hockey his whole life and coming through the scouting ranks has a better understanding on how to find players for a rebuild.
He is ready for a G. M job and this would be the perfect guy and the right time and the right age and the right pedigree not only professionally but family for this position.

I agree that Berube may not be the best choice for this group.

Toronto sends:

Scott Laughton (pending UFA, $3.0M AAV)
Bobby McMann (pending UFA, $1.35M AAV)

Toronto receives:

Fabian Zetterlund (26yo LW/ RW, 3 years left at $4.275M AAV)
Xavier Bourgault (23yo RW prospect, $775k AAV, 1 year left then RFA)

Zetterlund has that high-motor, energetic playing style and is reasonably physical, so he'd be a solid addition on the third line wing. Bourgault would bring some upside as a prospect.

My Son in Law is a season ticket holder for the Sens and also has been to some Belleville games. He says that while McMann is appealing they like Zetterlund for the physicality he brings. And he has a guaranteed not bad in this day and age dollar value.

It's too much of a gamble he said to bring in 2 potential UFA's and to let him go right now. As far as Bourgeault he says the kid definitely has offense but is not phsically strong enough on the puck.

Zero interest in Mangiapane or Jarry.

Agree0 Disagree0

27 Feb 2026 11:36:10
Do not get that Jarry contract. Still has 3 or 4 years on it. Too much to give up and take on for just Howard and a late 1st (almost a 2nd rd). But I also don’t know Beau, maybe he is the difference maker.

Trade Woll

To St-Louis
For biddington and 2nd

Then flip biddington to edm

For mags (for salary) and a 2nd.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

27 Feb 2026 11:37:37
Huh??? So in the end it’s Woll for Mangiapane and a 2nd. No thanks.

Agree0 Disagree0

27 Feb 2026 13:19:57
No will for Mags and 2 seconds.

Agree0 Disagree0

27 Feb 2026 14:59:33
Let St. Louis work out a deal with Edmonton for Binnington. Then, if St. Louis wants Woll, they can call us and give us a better package than Edmonton would. Woll doesn't have a no trade deal for another 2 years, but to be honest, if Toronto is to go into a Full Rebuild and St.

Louis is as well. I think he would not be to unhappy to get traded to St. Louis. His home town is just on the edge of St. Louis. But we don't want Mangiapane and that contract.

Agree2 Disagree0

27 Feb 2026 01:18:44
How about
Stolartz and McMann

To Anaheim

For 1st and 2nd

Clear cap for off season if they want retention Anaheim offers another 2nd.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

26 Feb 2026 20:03:39
Leafs trade Stolarz to Habs or Oilers.

Trade McMann, Robertson and OEL to Detroit for Sebastian Cossa and Nate Danielson.

26 Feb 2026 22:08:04
Yup another senseless post by our Talladega Speedway guy.

27 Feb 2026 15:14:21
I don’t think it’s far off. Leafs maybe add something to Detroit deal. Be nice to get Cossa for sure.

Agree1 Disagree0

26 Feb 2026 20:23:42
I hope everyone realizes that the leafs are gonna soft sell everything out there indicates that they are not moving off all pieces ownership won’t allow it.

But here’s a possible trade

Tampa: 2nd 2026 Conner geekie
Toronto: mcmann

Is that enough idk but it better than sitting on
Their hands.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

26 Feb 2026 20:59:44
Keep McMann. Sign a two year 3-4 million deal.

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Feb 2026 22:05:37
If the Leafs lose tonight to Panthers the script has written itself. Guys on expiring contracts will be traded and guys that can get good return will too. You use the picks, prospects and extra cap to retool this team. Also make more trades in the offseason like Rielly. Cause he will not wave at the deadline.

Agree0 Disagree0

27 Feb 2026 00:37:47
@Goat
I would do this deal in a heartbeat if TB agreed. Not sure they would though.

Agree1 Disagree0

LeafsGM78

The word being circulated is that McMann’s camp is looking for a package totaling between $20M - $25M.
As he is 30 years old (June), I would hate to see the Leafs give him $4M x 5 years taking him to 35 years old.


Leafs already have an over abundance of 30+ years taking him old players.
Best to trade him for a good prospect who is 10 years younger.

Agree0 Disagree0

27 Feb 2026 15:15:38
I would be all over this deal, but I agree with Tags97. Tampa Bay has precious few prospects and Geekie is going to be a good one. Big, strong, with soft hands, but a hugely punishing hitter.

Domi gets swapped out for Mangiapane, and their cap hits are pretty much identical anyway.
Domi's defensive game has always been weak, so Andrew Mangiapane would be a perfect trade target to move Domi out. Mangiapane actually throws hits every now and then (unlike Domi), forechecks way better, and while Domi has the better passing/ playmaking, he just doesn't really fit anywhere in Toronto's lineup right now. So Mangiapane could be a solid test run in that spot.

Leafs fans seem really annoyed/ frustrated with Mangiapane lately, but he's still the more versatile guy overall than Domi.

So why not?

Believable1 Unbelievable0

26 Feb 2026 16:17:49
So Domi makes $3.75m has 31pts. Plays LW/RW/C. Yes he’s signed for an extra year. Mangia 💩 makes $3.60m has 12pts and only plays LW. Yes he’s signed to one less year. He supposedly was a penalty kill guy but has fizzled in that department.

Other than the one year less on his contract, he’s 💩. Domi’s play hasn’t been as bad as everyone says. Especially lately, and he’s a good playoff guy. I believe Oilers get the better player here. Just my opinion by looking at performance this season.

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Feb 2026 16:19:03
You saying he doesn’t fit anywhere in the Leafs lineup is a bad observation.

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Feb 2026 16:30:57
Domi looked the worst I’ve seen yet, last game. Call it rust if you want, but he also looked soft as butter. Guy is more terrified of contact than Mitch was. Like holy 💩 Max hit someone, talk 💩, anything. Just turning pucks over and not winning any puck battles.

Don’t see any use for Domi right now and I have defended him in the past because he usually shows up for playoffs, but we ain’t getting there and he is apart of the reason why.

Agree2 Disagree0

26 Feb 2026 16:36:33
I have to admit I agree with Blowhard on this one. I commented on another post that Domi is worth way more than most are saying on here. As I said on the other post... Domi has 11 points in the past 11 games and I guarantee if a team wants him at the deadline he has heated up at the right time to get a way, way, way better return than Mangianpane.

You don't do a swap of a 3rd line player who can also fill in on the 2nd as he has lately for a 4th liner; he is playing his way out of the league.

Agree3 Disagree0

26 Feb 2026 19:59:21
Neither team wants the other player. Doesn’t benefit either one of them. Domi can’t play well in the playoffs when they don’t make the playoffs! Trade him for whatever you can get draft pick wise

Agree1 Disagree0

27 Feb 2026 01:20:49
Don’t want either player.

Agree0 Disagree0

27 Feb 2026 09:00:16
Your comment makes no sense Ricky Bobby. He has proven to be a good playoff player. So saying the oilers can’t use him is just plain wrong and shows your lack of hockey knowledge. He had 7pts in 13g last year and was a plus player. The year b4 he had 4pts in 7g and was a plus player. He plays up and down the line up. Leafs don’t need or want Mangia💩 cause they are retooling, but Domi wouldn’t be a bad pick up for oilers as a playoff add.

I would take Henrique at $3m expiring and retain say 750k so Domi comes in at $3m for the remainder of his contract for the oilers. Leafs free up the cap space and oilers get a more versatile guy. FYI Domi has almost tripled the points of Mangia💩 this season.

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Feb 2026 15:40:07
Phillip Danault (25% Retained) to Toronto for Laughton + Järnkrok
Danault can show better next season What could he produce as a 3rd line center once Scott and Calle's contracts expire.

Roy's been underwhelming this year, and so has Danault. Moving Danault to 3C might be just the spark he needs for a fresh start.
So Roy could also change teams too.

Laughton to take the 3C spot at his new team; Calle probably returns to Sweden after the season.

So Nicolas Roy might be moved in exchange for a third-round draft pick.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

26 Feb 2026 16:23:37
So u want to get rid of the 28yr old 3C at $3m for a 33yr old 3C making $5.5m? Roy has 20pts and Danault has 14pts. If u can’t see the issue here plus u r giving them Laughton and Jarnkrok. Thanks, but no thanks rather keep Laughton and Roy over dandelion 😂😂

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Feb 2026 16:29:30
Even with the retention he’s still 4.125m not even worth half of that.

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Feb 2026 18:52:10
@Thisisit You said Danault can show better next season.

He turned 30 in 2023 Ended season with 54 Points. Career High
" " 31 in 2024 ' ' ' 47 "
" " 32 in 2025 " " " 43 "
" " 33 in 2026 " " " 20 -22 Estimated.

There is a pretty clear pattern starting there.

Agree5 Disagree0

26 Feb 2026 20:01:50
Extend Laughton if price is right. Trade Roy, Jarnkok, Domi, Benoit, Stolarz, Robertson, and maybe McMann.

Agree3 Disagree0

26 Feb 2026 21:27:09
Trade them to who and for what?

Agree4 Disagree0

26 Feb 2026 22:01:28
Ricky Bobby at it again with the Rants that make no sense. Go back to NASCAR
