So if Rielly goes to San Jose for instance, I think the return would be better than some are expecting (as others have said).
I think it will be something like Wetsch/Pohlkamp/Sahlin Wallenius with a plus, like a 4th or someone like Gasseau who they haven't signed.

Jackets ask “And what else Chayka?”
Sharks ask “Steffi Graf? Yes, you can have her… Collin Graf? I think not. We will give the 4th and you retain the 2.5”
Ducks trade
Why does Toronto do that?
Trouba hates Canada. He will never sign here
25 Jun 2026 15:44:38
Ok so add Roberston to SJS trade. TOR does that trade cause Chayka is looking to get rid of Trevs bad moves. Carlo and Stolarz contract gone. You r getting rid of over $7m and just brining in $3m. Husso will be put on waivers if he can’t at least be a back up option. Or remove him from the equation and save more cap.
Trouba has been linked to Toronto in the past. He has never rejected a trade here or said he’s not willing to sign here. In fact there is talk that they r looking at him as a feee agent signing once they get rid of Carlo. So like I said b4 to u go back to sleep or watching curling.
25 Jun 2026 11:57:08
If Knies is going still could see Buffalo as the destination. I’m thinking with Benson signed, it comes back to a trade surrounding 4OA and, as per Chayka, a dman in Mrtka and McLeod and or Krebbs. I think we may add potentially slightly for both fwds but this is the bassist.
Top 10 pick Dman additional fwd. Does this deal go yay or nay? Btw Mrtka looks to be very similar to a Mo Seider type. This is extremely appealing!
25 Jun 2026 13:26:44
They r not trading for Knies. Especially not Buffalo.
25 Jun 2026 14:40:38
I’m hearing from a buddy who lives just outside San Jose that the last few days they have heard the Sharks and Buffalo looking to swap #2 and the #27 they got from Buffalo in Kesselring deal for #4 and Krebs or McLeod.
Kinda makes sense. Gives San Jose more forward depth, allows them to drop down to #4 to grab a defenseman and they still have #9 as well.
Buffalo can then take either Stenberg or McKenna whoever the Leafs don’t take. There is speculation as well if that happens Buffalo might offer #2 and something else for Knies. In another universe possibly but who knows the NHL world is off its axis.
25 Jun 2026 15:13:40
Is this buddy of yours Mike Grier? Lol
25 Jun 2026 15:24:08
Actually it doesn’t make any sense what so ever 🤣🤣🤣
25 Jun 2026 15:48:35
So the rationale they were talking about on the radio show he was listening to was the more depth (and they are very deep) at forwards was they could then go after a Stud defenseman in a package deal with 2 roster forwards and Dickinson. Werenski’s name kept coming up.
25 Jun 2026 09:46:29
I’m kinda shocked at what some teams are willing to pay. I do think Reilly is more than a cap dump and the two California teams make a lot of sense
Three-way trade
Going to Tor: Zellweger signing rights to Ferraro
Going to Anaheim: Carlo 3rd (Phi)
Going to San Jose: Reilly
Fills out the Leafs blueline with a couple younger guys. Anaheim has three young guys on that left side and Zellweger is kind of getting buried there.
Ferraro is all about getting ahead of the market so you don’t have to overpay. July 1 everyone is doing it. Carlo brings them size and a defensive dman at a cheap cost. And for San Jose it gives them a vet player that has been through every stage in his career and I think that valuable on a young team. The fit seems to good and they essentially don’t have to give up anything, so maybe Toronto ask for a conditional pick in case Ferraro doesn’t sign.
25 Jun 2026 09:25:43
Rielly? Really?
Leafs will get a 5th with 20 percent retained.
25 Jun 2026 13:29:06
They will get way more than a 5th with retention. Go back to sleep Doug.
25 Jun 2026 14:00:33
I guess we will see champ.
25 Jun 2026 14:12:13
I’m with Doug on this. This is a Huge salary dump. Lucky to get a 5th rounder w zero retention.
25 Jun 2026 14:53:26
I agree with Champ. I think he will surprise in the return. The pickings in the UFA market are very slim for d-men. He needs a change of scenery. I have a lot of respect for him. Over the years he has never complained about anything, always been a loyal team guy.
He played hurt most of last year and it was never in the headlines like Knies playing hurt. As I said, whatever Nurse gets in a return will be roughly what we get for Reilly. Although Edmonton is in more of a salary dump mode than us, so they might take less to dump Nurse.
25 Jun 2026 15:06:17
So you’re saying Reilly who is signed for mutiple years isn’t worth signing rights of a guy who isn’t resigning? I’m a little confused, the Carlo trade I can see maybe you got a point lol.
25 Jun 2026 15:27:26
Doug and King are the same person. Pay no attention to their comments. Same 🥴🤣🤣🤣
25 Jun 2026 15:46:31
I'm not here to fight or insult anyone, just my thoughts and sticking to it. Leaf fans always over value home team players, Always!
For the record I love Rielly. Class act 100%.

25 Jun 2026 11:13:11
Wow. Where to begin? Nick Robertson is your first line left winger. Macelli is your second line left winger. And the first overall pick is on a checking line playing 6-10 minutes a night.
Absolutely ridiculous.
25 Jun 2026 13:08:40
That whole second line is worse defensively than just Rielly.
25 Jun 2026 13:29:45
You r definitely that 🥴 guy.
25 Jun 2026 15:55:10
Oh my!!!!! That lineup is brutal, Max Domi read it and called the Leafs and requested to be put on a 5 year LTIR. lol.
25 Jun 2026 02:00:42
So do the Leafs really have a chance at all to get Trochek? Or are the rumblings orchestrated as most are from the agents' offices leaking things to the press and insiders? They like doing it to raise the stakes to the actual preferred team by raising the hopes of the other rumoured teams to give offers. It is a twisted little way they do things. The team their client wants to go to overpays somewhat sometimes bidding against fictitious other offers. But the team he leaves from sometimes gets a good deal. This way of doing things keeps the agents in both teams' good books to a point because eventually with the larger agencies they will be calling that agent to orchestrate a similar deal in reverse later.
People underestimate the agents' role in these trades and how it comes together.
Trocheck has been floated going to quite a few teams but the one that might have the inside track is Pittsburgh. It's his hometown, and one of his favourite players is Sidney Crosby. It comes down to what New York wants and if Pittsburgh would pay it. Vinnie would be an idol in Pittsburgh.
25 Jun 2026 01:27:09
Am I the only one that thinks Trochek is extremely overrated? I don't understand the hype.
I believe they're in on Vinny as he fits the timeline of 2 years with Mathews, but I just hate the idea of it.
25 Jun 2026 02:34:20
@LL Nope, annoyed everytime his name is mentioned. He's too old. We need a younger center.
25 Jun 2026 03:17:19
I agree. I have. Ever wanted him here. He is starting to slide a bit. But in Pittsburgh they will love him.
I just wanted to comment on how a lot of the rumours of players going to places starts through agents feeding a narrative. It’s all about doing business and using smoke and mirrors.
25 Jun 2026 03:29:24
@suffering I know where you're coming from with it, I just don't get the fit at all.
25 Jun 2026 13:31:56
32 yrs old signed at $5.63m for 2 more years is too old? Are u guys ok? We had and still have Tavares in that 2c role and he was at a $11m cap hit til 35 yrs old 🤣🤣🤣🤣. You guys no nothing.
25 Jun 2026 16:02:26
@ Hrenkin. Younger centres are hard pry loose. We are going to have to find from within and in meantime find reasonable priced contracts for short term with older guys. I would as I have said for a while like to see Cowan go to centre. So for Trocheck at his cap and we could swing a deal to get Kadri out of Colorado at the same cap as Vinnie. I would love to see a veteran line composed of 3 Centres. Kadri, Vinnie and J. T. That would be line absolutely would smother any line they were matched against.
24 Jun 2026 22:24:51
Well.... with Tuch going to Washington, this should heat up the Buffalo talk for Knies. What have they got they would be want or they would give up? I would start my ask right away for that #4 overall pick and then going from there.
An aside.... If Tuch is put on a line with the Protas Brothers I think that would probably be close to Guiness Book of Records for Largest Professional Hockey line ever assembled.
24 Jun 2026 21:36:55
I will answer my own post with my off the top of my head ask from Knies from Buffalo. I want the following and we will toss in RFA Robertson.
4th overall pick, RFA Zach Benson, RFA Peyton Krebs, Sam Carrick
Put Carrick with Landon Sims and sign AJ Greer and you will have a 4th line that will look like guided missiles and you have Greer and Carrick who will fight anyone anytime win or lose.
24 Jun 2026 22:03:09
@Suff Pretty sure Sims goes no questions asked too. Lol that line would be awesome and fun to watch. I like it! If we’re losing Knies I’m good with that. Or 4OA Benson and Mrtka. If there’s a chance let’s take it!
25 Jun 2026 01:31:08
Benson just signed for the same contract as Knies. 7x7.5. So who was saying offer sheet Benson at $4.75 lol lol
25 Jun 2026 10:48:49
@champ, Wow that’s what he got!? Not in Knies League but he’s a really good player. That’s my take but again woulda looked good with the Leafs logo on his chest. K guys next prop…..
24 Jun 2026 21:36:31
Riley, Marceli or Carlo and 2nd round pick for San Jose Sharks first round pick this year.
24 Jun 2026 22:36:20
What planet do you reside on? Sharks laugh their ass off.
25 Jun 2026 00:06:19
What?
A 1st round pick for Rielly & Carlo?
These are cap dumps, not valuable players!
25 Jun 2026 00:34:19
Lol
I’m thinking he was trading for their 3rd R1 pick!
25 Jun 2026 15:29:32
Not a chance but I don’t agree with Waterbuffalo. These are not salary dumps. Carlo is still a viable rd and Rielly still holds value for teams like the Sharks and Anaheim.
24 Jun 2026 21:20:57
So if Knies is actually getting traded, here is my prediction.
Ana
Knies $7.75M
Carlo $3.5M
Tor
MacTavish $7M
Zellweger RFA
McQueen $1.075M
Procyszyn $1.04M
25 Jun 2026 00:34:51
I’m in.
25 Jun 2026 02:16:04
I’d be overjoyed with that haul.
25 Jun 2026 15:30:03
Garbage.
24 Jun 2026 19:58:19
I kept hearing Byram for Knies, happy that didn't happen.
I really like Byram as a player, but not at the price he fetched.
24 Jun 2026 20:49:15
Agreed. Although I am not a huge Byram fan.
24 Jun 2026 18:49:06
Tor: Knies
Seattle: Wright, #7 overall, Jake O'Brien.
We have a lot of Left handed wingers, this brings in a righty, and out future #2C.
24 Jun 2026 19:25:31
Is Wright a future 2C?
Before his draft year he was supposed to be a generational game changer. He's been anything but since.
If you can take out that 7oa, send them Col 1st and make it Beniers I would be overjoyed (although it wouldn't happen).
24 Jun 2026 22:28:51
O'Brien is the 2C candidate.
25 Jun 2026 00:28:02
I like him. He needs to put on another 15 lbs though. But even being lighter he doesn't avoid the hard areas of the ice.
