Toronto trade proposal!
Toronto Maple Leafs trade Dakota Joshua plus a 4th-round pick for Miles Wood. Yeah, small trade but little bit overall upgrade.
Wood is the better skater and forecheckier, which could fit Toronto’s style well. Joshua is more physical and throws more hits, but Wood still brinngs energy and physical play while offering more speed.
So what's up? Why not.
13 May 2026 02:56:22
Here's a question. Would you do the following trade?
To St. Louis:
Nylander
To Toronto:
Robert Thomas
2026 1st round pick (11th overall)
I guess the other question is, would Nylander waive to go there? Nylander has more potential for overall goals and point production, but I would love to have Thomas on the Leafs.
Solid 2-way center. At 11th overall, maybe Albert Smits could fall there? Or if not, maybe Mason Rudolph?
Last question, would St. Louis even consider this or would Toronto need to add?
13 May 2026 02:31:47
I'd absolutely do that. I doubt the Blues would.
13 May 2026 02:59:11
I would do that trade.
Highly doubt St. Louis would.
13 May 2026 03:18:46
Would you trade Nylander for Thomas, 1 for 1?
Or if you were St. Louis, would it be more palatable if it was Knies + a 2nd?
13 May 2026 08:14:08
This is a good trade, but it also leaves the Leafs very thin on right wing, something they already are weak on, but like everyone else said, he’s probably not accepting a trade there.
13 May 2026 01:11:04

Draft day trade
Tor Reilly
TB. Raddysh with agreement to extend in Toronto
13 May 2026 00:43:53
If they could afford Reilly's contract, don't you think Tampa would keep Raddysh?
13 May 2026 00:48:30
Because Toronto is so awesome I figured Raddysh would automatically come here rather than stay.

12 May 2026 16:07:59
As McTavish is no longer even playing in the playoffs and is signed for $7MAAV, could he be picked up for cheap?
To TOR: C - M. McTavish
To ANA: 2027 2nd +B prospect
Thoughts?
12 May 2026 16:21:08
They have a need for RHD. I would think Carlo could be a good price to send the other way. Ideally I'd like to do it without using any draft picks.
12 May 2026 17:33:42
It has been talked about on here. They have moved him mostly to the wing.
As I said before, I think Carlo and Stolarz would peak their interest. Goaltending has been a bit of an issue for the Ducks and they lack signed NHL veteran D-men for next season.
This would help solidify two spots for them. The money would be about even, but the Leafs may have to take Husso and his $2.2M contract as well to make it work.
12 May 2026 17:47:04
Elf, their starter isn't an issue, but I agree they could use a back up. I'm not sure which goalie they would want.
12 May 2026 21:54:45
I’ve posted many trades on here for McTavish
But I do wonder what happened to him this year…
But I would do Carlo and Stolarz for McTavish and Husso in a heartbeat.
12 May 2026 22:08:29
It is a tough one. His knock and has been for a while is he seems do have lost his defensive game and for a Centre who is not a speed demon to be a Low #1 or a Top #2 you have to be very, very good defensively. That is why he has been getting sat or limited on minutes and even switched to the wing. He is having trouble with the pace and is not hitting like he can.
I guess the question is, is he a Third line Centre or can he be a 2nd or 3rd line winger? It is a hefty contract to take on to find out.
If he was banging and grinding hard I would think on it. I just am not sure if he is fast enough for what I hope the Leafs are going to aim for, with more speed up front. Maybe if Anaheim retained a couple million it might be worth exploring. But $7 is steep for what could be a 3rd line Centre.
12 May 2026 22:50:27
Then absolutely not if we’re taking back north of 9 million back. I’m not sold on him. How is he not is the perfect place all that young talent finally becoming competitive the atmosphere should be giving you all compete and confidence to perform better than he has over a long period of time.
12 May 2026 23:05:34
Where did see north of $9 m coming back?
12 May 2026 23:13:12
Husso 2.2 M
12 May 2026 23:31:53
I am not promiting the trade but if that happened it would only be $2m coming back. As Golftown was trading Stolarz and Carlo out.
12 May 2026 23:48:40
Ya?! But can we agree it’s two players we’d be paying 9.2 million dollars to play? I’m not filling my 3rd line centre with 7 million dollars and for a guy that might be Domi 2.0 plus the fact if he continues to under perform and we what trade him again for the second time. We can fill those spots for a lot less.
13 May 2026 00:01:50
Hey, I said I wasn't promoting the trade. I was just saying after the numbers were crunched it was $2.2 coming back and actually it would be less because we would probably put Husso on waivers. He would be safer one to put on waivers over Hildeby because Husso cleared waivers a few times this past season. Anyway. On to the next trade.
13 May 2026 00:10:43
Ok so we can’t agree it’s two players making 9.2 million dollars.
13 May 2026 00:35:40
OK iff it makes you feel better, there are two players that would arrive making $9.2 and we can also agree there are two players leaving that were making $7.2 leaving. So in sport terms, we would be taking back $2 million.
If it was opposite we would say the other team is taking back $2 million and we are saving $2 in cap space. So I will agree it is 4 players making $16.4 million that will not be traded in this deal lol :o)
13 May 2026 00:36:17
That is way too much for McTavish. ANH got some talent now that pushed McTavish down the lineup and not living up to his 7M contract. We gonna trade Stolarz and Carlo for this guy? I think someone said a 2nd and a B prospect I think is fair without retaining any money.
Everyone knows ANH is gonna have to pay Carlsson, Gauthier, Sennecke, Lacomb so I’m sure the Ducks would be happy to move him out for a 2nd and a prospect.
13 May 2026 00:48:06
@Clarky17 He was never fast, but seems to have slowed even more since he bulked up a bit. But is not playing physical. I can't see him as a #2 Centre here but maybe a 3rd line winger on J. T's Line. We still need to either trade for a #2 or give one of the Marlies a chance to catch lightning in a bottle.
13 May 2026 00:58:10
So yeah, if we got him for that 2nd and a B prospect it might be worth seeing if he can bounce back enough to possibly be a 3rd line winger and maybe a power play specialist playing in that trigger spot Ovechkin would sit in. I would still see if Anaheim would retain $1.5 though.
12 May 2026 12:24:03
Trade idea. Idea trade.
Ryan McDonagh "yes old man".
J. J. Moser (key target)
Tampa Bay get
Morgan Rielly
Nick Robertson
2026 2nd round pick,
2027 2nd round pick
From Toronto’s perspective.
McDonagh brings elite defensive stability, playoff experience, and a true shutdown presence on the blue line!
Moser adds a younger, mobile puck-moving defenseman with top-2 potential and long-term upside.
This would shift Toronto’s defense from offense-heavy to a more balanced, playoff-style structure.
From Tampa’s perspective.
Rielly adds a top-tier offensive defenseman who can drive play and boost their power play.
Robertson gives them a young scoring winger with upside hmm.
The 2nd round picks adds future value.
Then Benoit trade somewhere 3rd round pick 2026 or 2027.
12 May 2026 12:54:53
I can't see that happening. J. J. Moser as much as I would love to have him in Toronto is to good for them to let go. He is the reason that Raddysh has turned into the player he has. If they manage to keep Raddysh then they still have a duo with great chemistry, and if Radysh goes, then he will work with another Offensive defensive to make him that much better. He is as Elite as it goes for Defensive Defensemen and is not to Shabby offensively either. As far as top potential for Moser lol lol lol.
He was paired with Hedman last year as a Top 2 and with Hedman gone most of this year he took Raddysh on as a Partner as their Top 2. If he is Top 2 there he certainly would be more than a potential Top 2 in Toronto. That offer is pretty low to get him and McDonagh he even at his age still produces at almost .5 points a game and still is elite at blocking shots. Tampa would not be getting much with Reilly and Robertson in return. The targets are good ones but to get them we would have to give up more.
12 May 2026 22:56:38
How much is McDonagh making these days I only ask because because if it on par or more than Reilly I’d try this and leave him out?
12 May 2026 23:46:27
He earns $750,000 less than Reilly. So what would your trade be now?
13 May 2026 00:05:19
Keep the picks sent the rest for J. J.
13 May 2026 00:36:55
So Reilly and Robertson for Moser?
12 May 2026 11:49:58
What would Leafs fans think about this trade idea with the Blues?
Toronto receives!
Jonathan Drouin
Otto Stenberg
St. Louis receives:
Brandon Carlo
Simon Benoit
Nick Robertson rfa rights
2026 2nd round pick
2027 3rd round pick
Additional thought.
Then Toronto also drafts Ivar Stenberg, pairing the Stenberg brothers on the organization could actually become an intreresting long-term idea.
From Toronto’s side:
Drouin still has very good playmaking ability.
He could fit well on the 2nd power play unit.
Probably works best as a skilled 3rd line winger who can drive offense and help with transition play and fresh start new team.
Otto Stenberg brings long-term offensive upside and skill. Potential top6.
From St. Louis’ side
Carlo gives them a legit legit shutdown/ top-4 defenseman.
Benoit adds physical depth.
Robertson still has scoring upside.
Extra picks help balance the value.
12 May 2026 13:54:12
We're not drafting Stenberg.
12 May 2026 23:09:20
I’d package some of that for Drouin, maybe Carlo and the 3rd. I’m not keen on giving away this year's draft picks; need to restock.
Carlo, Benoit and a 3rd.
12 May 2026 04:26:51
Big roster shakeup.
Tor- Matthews, OEL
NYR- 5th overall, Fox, Lafreniere
Then Chicago has lots of needs and is available for business.
Tor- Nylander, Reilly, 2027 2nd (Lower of the 2)
Chi- 4th overall, Rinzel
I know people don't like Pettersson but I don't know what other 1st line center they could aquire cheap.
Tor- Robertson, Domi, Maccelli, low level prospect (Tverberg)
Van- Pettersson, Debrusk
Anaheim is scratching McTavish and he might be at the bottom of his value.
Tor- Carlo, 1st 2027, Stolarz
Ana- McTavish, Pick/prospect
Draft McKenna, and then 2 of Reid, Verhoeff, Carels
McKenna-Pettersson-Lafreniere
Knies-McTavish-Cowan
Joshua-Tavares-Debrusk
Lorentz-Groulx-Quillan
Verhoeff/Reid-Fox
McCabe-Tanev
Carels-Rinzel
Danford
Woll
Hilldeby
The only thing you could try is flipping Fox and a prospect for the #2 pick and take Stenberg as well. If you do this then another trade needs to happen for a d-man. Probably Hamilton for cheap out of NJ.
12 May 2026 16:17:51
Leafs don’t have a 2027 first.
12 May 2026 18:14:15
Yes they do. They have Colorado's 1st.
12 May 2026 03:56:05
I would be more inclined to trade Nylander and Rielly rather than Matthews.
Toronto trades Nylander, Carlo
To
Anaheim for Mason McTavish, Olen Zellweger and Troy Terry
Toronto trades Rielly, Robertson
To
San Jose for Quintin Musty Mario Ferario

McKenna McTavish Cowan
Tavares Coyle Musty
Joshua Groiux Valis
Lorentz
