So we all kind of throw ideas out there if it was just a trade, or a retool or a rebuild. I don't think I have thrown a full blown rebuild scenario out there but here goes a attempt at one. Where we need to keep a few veterans around for some stability in the dressing room and to speak to the media as the teams grows and matures. Also keep a select few of leafs younger guys that still have not hit their peak. And a few depth players that allows younger guys to do a stint or two in the minors when needed that extra time to work on their game.

Islanders- Matthews and Macelli



Leafs- Cal Ritchie, Cole Eiserman, Kashawn Aicheson Islanders 2nd 2026 and 1st 2027

.

San Jose Sharks - Bobby McMann, Morgan Reilly, 35% retained by leafs, Brandon Carlo

Leafs- 1st in 2026, 1st in 2027

.

Montreal- Jarnkrok

Leafs - 2nd in 2027

.

Edmonton- Laughton

Leafs - 2nd 2026

.

St. Louis-Stolarz, Nicolas Roy, The 1st round picks in 2026 and 2027 that we obtained from San Jose

Leafs- Robert Thomas, Philip Broberg


So the lineup without moving Nylander would look something like this. If everyone cracked the lineup and not counting free agent signings.

In Goal- Woll with Hildeby

Defense- OEL Danford
McCabe Broberg
Stecher Aitcheson
Chadwick Benoit

Forwards- Cowan Thomas Nylander
Knies Tavares Eiserman
Domi Ritchie Robertson
Lorentz Holinka Joshua

Draft picks still left and added 2- 2nds in 2026 a 1st in 2027 and a 2nd in 2027

Difference with Salary Cap would be a savings of $10,577,000

Obviously not the final complete moves of the rebuild but a good mix of young blood and veterans to move ahead with. Some trades could be done before the deadline and others before the draft. A bit chaotic of a post but in the long run we are deep at Centre for the future and we have some draft capital finally and financial room for the future. The draft capital and salary cap room opens up possible further bigger additions. Enjoy the slight warm up in the weather folks.

If leafs come out of Olympic break and the players that r being rumoured in trades keep playing well. There is a very good chance leafs fetch multiple 1st picks for them. If that is true then leafs brass needs to entertain all of them and stock the shelves. The 6games b4 the deadline will determine if they will be able to. Carlo, OEL, Mcmann, and dare I say Laughton.

To Tor
1st rd 2027
2nd (blues) 2027
Gudas (exp contract)
Gaucher
To Anaheim
Carlo
Stolarz

To Tor
1st 2026 (Edm)
Chernyshov
To SJS
OEL

To Tor
1st 2026 (Tampa)
4th 2026 (NYR)
2nd 2027 (CBJ)
Villeneuve

To Sea
Laughton (50% retained)
Robertson
Maccelli (50% retained)

I previously had trade with Mcmann going to LAK for another 1st and prospect. With the Fiala injury makes a perfect replacement there. There’s your four 1st rd picks. Then u do what u want with other players like Jarnkrok, Domi, Joshua, Benoit.

Is this a Rebuild OR Retool?

Personally I have little interest in draft picks in exchange for Leaf players.
Draft picks won’t be selected until June of this year.
That is followed by at least another year in juniors and another year or two, (for late 1st round picks), in the AHL, before they are ready to compete for a roster spots.
I feel Leafs should be targeting D+1, D+2 and D+3 prospects some of whom will be ready to compete for roster spots at this falls training camo.
By drafting players who have already been drafted Leafs get a better look at their progress a year, 2 or 3 after they have been drafted.

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Feb 2026 10:06:27
Who’s playing defence for you moving forward lol I’ve said many times moving Carlo doesn’t make a ton of sense you paid a fortune to get him and to replace him you will most likely have to do the same. OEL has been great this year but zero chance he pulls that package and the third trade is ok I’m not sure I’d move Laughton personally.

Agree0 Disagree0

14 Feb 2026 18:40:20
To Tor
1st 2026
Wright
To LA
Mcmann

After Fiala out perfect replacement. They know they will be in for a bidding war so hence the 1st and a good prospect.

15 Feb 2026 03:44:14
I was just looking at a list of LA Kings top 10 prospects.
I do not see any prospect named Wright.
Then I looked at LA Kings lineup.
I see no player by the name Wright.

Were you thinking of Wright, the former 4th overall pick by the Seattle Kraken?

If Leafs are looking to trade McMann to the LA Kings for a prospect, I would like to see them target: Henry Brzustewicz, RHD, 19, 6’2”, 203 lbs, (London Knights, OHL)

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Feb 2026 16:51:25
He is talking about Jared Wright.

Agree0 Disagree0

14 Feb 2026 04:48:28
Would you consider:

To Minny: Matthews

To Tor: Faber, Ek OR Hartman.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

14 Feb 2026 09:30:04
No because you just fixed one problem and created another the leafs need to draft there own Faber that’s the only way to get your hands on a top dman.

Agree0 Disagree0

14 Feb 2026 16:51:21
2nd move would be
Nylander and Reilly to ANH
4
McTavish, Sennecke, Helleson.

Agree0 Disagree0

14 Feb 2026 17:28:27
Swap out mctavish for either Carlson or Gauthier and I’m sold don’t like mctavish.

Agree0 Disagree0

14 Feb 2026 17:41:37
Your first trade not a chance I’m giving ninny Matthews for that weak two players. You joking Clarky?

Agree0 Disagree0

14 Feb 2026 21:31:00
I would do Faber and Boldy on that first deal.

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Feb 2026 03:46:32
Faber and Ek would do but Faber and Boldy would be much better.
That said, would Matthews have any interest in going to Minnesota?

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Feb 2026 10:08:34
Question I would ask clarky is why would either team trade the up and coming players for guys who are stars but haven’t won anything.

Agree0 Disagree0

13 Feb 2026 23:59:05
With Kevin Fiala Suffering possibly a season ending injury against Canada today does anyone think the leafs phone might be ringing in regards to a Bobby McMann deal? Left Winger goes down. L. A says "We hear through the grapevine you have a Left Winger you have been shopping around the league, and you don't have a 1st round pick this year. Well it just so happens. ".

14 Feb 2026 17:29:10
If a first is on the table I definitely trade Mcmann there.

Agree0 Disagree0

13 Feb 2026 02:33:52
Would you consider this?

To Pitts: Reilly, Robertson, 3rd rd pick?

To Tor: Karlsson (10M, 2.5M retained =7.5M x2 years), Brazeau @ 1.5MX 2

Or am I way off here?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

13 Feb 2026 10:07:09
Too old . picks and prospects to restock the cupboards.

Agree0 Disagree0

13 Feb 2026 19:01:36
Way off. It’s a retool don’t need or want karlsson.

Agree0 Disagree0

13 Feb 2026 20:28:16
I Like Brazeau, But Karlsson is needed in Pittsburgh with Letang slowing down, even with his hefty contract. Dubas has always liked both Robertson and Reilly though.

How does this one sound. We trade them Reilly and retain $2.5 and Robertson as well as Mcmann who might sign with the GM who signed him as a undrafted player and gave him his start in the NHL as well as our 3rd round pick this year. In return we get Pittsburghs 1st in 2026, Brazeau who is a big serviceable player and Harrison Brunicke who is going to be a stud on Defence.

We get a great prospect who didn't look out of place in games in Pittsburgh or in the AHL and is Looking fantastic in Kamloops. He was a shotblocking and hitting machine at the WJC's this year. The only reason he is back in Junior is to get major minutes and Kamloops has a good shot of going far in the Playoffs.

Agree0 Disagree0

13 Feb 2026 21:11:49
Sorry I meant to add that with Sid being in Pittsburgh and with Robertson going there it allows Pittsburgh to make a crazy offer to Jason Robertson as a UFA. They have the draft picks to make it happen whether it is just under the 11,700,192 or over the 11,700,183 and they will also have the cap space to do it. Maybe Dallas works out a deal with Pittsburgh before the deadline on that front. Or somehow a 3 way with Leafs, Dallas and Pittsburgh could be worked on.

Agree0 Disagree0

13 Feb 2026 21:20:36
I’d do this Karlsson for the same price as Reilly for less term I’m in.

Agree0 Disagree0

13 Feb 2026 23:05:08
Yes Leafs GM me too. We only have him on books for 2 more seasons at 7.5M where as Reilly would be 4 more. I’d rather a 40 year old Karlsson over a 30-31 year old Reilly plus getting Brazeau? I’d be taking it plus it helps get our PP puck moving D until we develop one of our own.

Agree0 Disagree0

13 Feb 2026 23:07:36
@suffering stop suggesting trading McMann to me. It’s dumb, we will not get back a player of his value and a late 1st is not worth Bobby McMann. If it’s a retool, Bobby stays. If you’re rebuilding from bottom up then yes go get a 1st for him but they are not doing that. So don’t just move good players just for the sake of getting draft capital back.

Agree0 Disagree0

14 Feb 2026 04:19:22
Who said I was trading McMann for just the mid 1st round pick Clarky? He is for the 1st and the key to the deal to get Brunicke. A younger version of Chris Tanev with his shot blocking but also a very mobile defenceman. At 36 years of age Tanev if he does the groiin surgery may not play again for the leafs anyway we need to stock the cupboard now. Robertson is straight up for Brazeau and Reilly and eating 2.5 of his contract is just a added player to entice the full deal. And to open up cap room for the leafs.

I jcan see Pittsburgh adding Reilly because they need veteran depth on D but not if they have to give up Karlsson who actually is playing the best 2 way hockey he has played in his career. They would certainly want Toronto to eat part of Reillys contract. For them to give up their Power play quaterback and you to ask them to eat part of Karlsson's contract doesn't make sense for them to do.

P. S didn't you suggest trading Nylander and Matthews and others in a massive deal I did call you dumb? No I said the returns looked decent other than swapping a few pieces. Im just playing Devils advocate on this one. It has to make sense for both teams.

Depending on if they make the playoffs or don't that First round pick can be used for both a retool (Trading it and a player for a better player in the off season. ) or a rebuild by using the pick or Trading it and a player to move up the Draft board.

I think if they could land Brunicke that at least 2 of him and Danford and Chadwick will be stalwarts with the leafs and possibly all 3. I have never said McMann is a bad player but he is a good trade piece given the free agency thing. Plus I think Holinka is going to be a pleasant surprise for fans and open eyes at Training Camp
.

Agree0 Disagree0

14 Feb 2026 16:54:34
Not true Suffering I used the word dumb when you said you were retooling and then go on to trade McMann. If we are rebuilding and Moving Matthews and Nylander I’d be ok with trading Bobby for a 1st.

Agree0 Disagree0

14 Feb 2026 17:32:49
I never said retool at all. regarding this post.

Agree0 Disagree0

11 Feb 2026 20:15:11
Tor: stolarz, Cowan, benoit

Utah: shmaltz, tij Iginla.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

11 Feb 2026 21:08:12
OMG! I need to call 911. I think I broke a couple of ribs because I was laughing so hard at this one. lol

Why in the world would a team that is in a playoff hunt trade their top centerman for a backup goalie and number 7 defenseman and basically do a swap of comparable prospects. That's basically asking Utah to tank so we can walk into their wildcard spot. Hey if Utah wants to do this deal I'd be all in but I don't expect the phone to ring anytime soon.

Agree0 Disagree0

12 Feb 2026 11:44:24
Isn’t that top Center a UFA this summer?

Agree0 Disagree0

12 Feb 2026 12:27:19
Yes he is but it sounds like he wants to resign. If they don't want to sign him they would not trade him before the deadline while they are in a playoff position. If they trade his rights before July 1 on a trade and sign deal then hey I would do that deal as Toronto but right now it won't happen. Utah has a good thing going and if you traded your number 1 center and fell out of the playoffs because of it that would not enhance your season ticket sales for next year at all.

Agree0 Disagree0

12 Feb 2026 19:55:09
To add to my last response. If they were to let him go for a trade and sign after the season they would have to then make a major free agent signing or a major trade deal. They are struggling for attendance. Yes they have a lot of obstructed views which limits sales to 12,000 but even with renovations they will still be one of the lower seating capacities in the league.

Plus the owners in the league are already showing concern that even with Technically sold out games, the Sunday and midweek games have huge empty seats in the lower bowl. They need to make the playoffs and make them consistently or this cursed Phoenix team could be moving once again at some point. Utah may not be the hotbed they had hoped for in regards to Hockey. A good exciting team should fill the arena no matter the day of the week the game is played.

Agree0 Disagree0

13 Feb 2026 16:21:54
Tij iginla alone gets more than the leafs offer here lol.

Agree0 Disagree0

11 Feb 2026 00:00:58
I think I kind of like this trade even though it’s tough to give up a goalie.

To Phi: Woll, Maccelli

To Tor: Tippett, Hathaway

Maybe someone adds a draft pick here. But would you make this deal?

Believable2 Unbelievable0

11 Feb 2026 01:19:00
Hate to sacrifice Woll but Tippett is a right wing which would fill a glaring hole in the Leafs lineup. Hathaway brings a lunch bucket full of grit.
Get it done.

Agree2 Disagree0

11 Feb 2026 01:45:49
I'm keeping Woll and Hildebeast. Stolarz can get punted. I like Stolarz well enough, Woll and Hildeby are just homegrown talent in net at the right age and price.

Agree1 Disagree0

11 Feb 2026 11:50:51
Hey Clarky! I would do Macelli and a pick in 2027 for Tippett. I wouldn't do Joseph Woll in there only because even though he has no assists this year he is still only 2 points behind Hathaway and could still catch him lol lol lol. In fact after watching Hathaway get his pocket picked on a empty net chance I think Joe Woll might stand a better chance of scoring into the empty net from his own crease :o)

Agree0 Disagree0

11 Feb 2026 21:59:00
Good debate guy but I think Stolarz has more potential than Woll and not sure Stolarz fits the Flyers time frame.
@Suffering, you ain’t getting Hathaway for goal scoring. Personally I don’t care if Woll scores more. This team needs a presence out there that is willing to drop the gloves to change the tide of the game. We don’t have that in a very tough division. Plus he helps on PK too and would be an asset if we ever got back to playoffs.

Agree1 Disagree0

12 Feb 2026 01:06:28
Clarky. If you want a player with grit and lays big hits and is not afraid to take on any of the big boys despite usually being smaller than most he fights (He has fought Olivier, Tom Wilson, Xhekaj, Kolesr, Brenbdan Dillon and it goes on and on) and can still chip in on some points . Look to the Rangers and try and get Sam Carrick. Same age (34) as Hathaway and way more affordable. Hathaway is $2.400,000 as opposed to Carrick at $1,000,000

As far as Stolarz and Woll. You said Stolarz has more potential than Woll. He is 32 already so that potential I think was at its peak in the last couple of years. Curious what you mean that he doesn't fit the flyers timeframe?

Agree0 Disagree0

12 Feb 2026 22:52:28
I’ve put many trades up here for Sam Carrick, he is another piece for sure.
@Woll and Stolarz, yes he is 32 but has potential to be one of the best goalies in the show when healthy and on his game. You Hildebeast learning from a guy his size and AA is not far off either. Plus if I’m Philly who is still in a rebuild I’d want Woll for Tippett due to his age.

Agree0 Disagree0

11 Feb 2026 00:40:48
Saw this mock trade in an article thought I’d share

Tor: Reilly 4th 2027
Sjs: Ferraro 2nd 2028

Who says no?

Believable1 Unbelievable0

11 Feb 2026 00:02:22
I like it but it’s 1 for 1 if not I think we add the higher draft pick here. Love to have Ferraro though.

Agree0 Disagree0

11 Feb 2026 02:40:35
I would think that if San Jose is willing to take Rielly at $7.5 for four (4) more years after this year then a 2nd for a sweetener sounds about right.
Ferrari is a UFA July 1st.
He would be an upgrade over Benoit but could the Leafs afford to resign him.
Of course, should Leafs trade OEL then they would have the cap space to make Ferraro a fair offer.

Agree0 Disagree0

11 Feb 2026 11:52:06
I like it and would love to see Ferraro in a Leaf Uniform but I think because San Jose only has 2 guys under contract on their Defense for next year they will re-sign Ferraro. He is a good defenseman and has played his whole career there and is a assistant captain and he is only 27 so with the young team he is still young enough but also old enough to be a good team leader.

I would be open if the leafs can land a 2nd round pick for one of the extra bodys they are trying to clear out, of sending Reilly and that 2nd pick as a favour to San Jose just to literally take Reilly and his contract to give us some financial ammunition once Free Agency hits.

Agree1 Disagree0

10 Feb 2026 22:44:52
My first trade on Feb 25th:

To Det: Reilly 7.5M

To Tor: Gustavsson 2M expiring contract. + 2nd 2026.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

11 Feb 2026 02:42:46
I’m not sure I understand why Detroit would take Rielly at $7.5 x 4 more years PLUS give the Leafs a 2nd?

Shouldn’t the sweetener be going to Detroit?

Agree0 Disagree0

11 Feb 2026 13:22:07
Any trades with Detroit need to return Cossa. After you’ve moved Stolarz to Habs.
