Couple trade ideas
Tor: Robertson hildaby
Phi: tomosino and our 1st back in 2027
Trade 2
Tor: Reilly maccelli
Sjs: leddy ( cap dump) 2026 2nd and haultunen
Still leaves the ability to trade mcmann and OEL.
I can see Philly agreeing to the first one Robertson is a player they liked in the passes and they need a goalie hildaby stings a bit but the Russian kid is younger and keeps getting better. We get our first back and tomosino who’s a young depth forward.
Second trade obviously Reilly has to waive but the sharks seem like a solid spot former leafs there up and coming team checks a lot of boxes we throw in maccelli too has been great sell high in return leafs get a 2nd this year cap dump leddy who is expiring and a prospect that lit up the ohl with Cowan 6’4 blue chip power forward prospect.

Don’t want to trade McMann. Call it a retool and go onto to trade McMann? Leafs trade this guy and he will be a top 6 on any other team getting many more minutes than he is now and putting up 50-60+ points while playing the right way and all you goofballs are trying to trade him for a late draft pick 🤦.

I'd prefer the picks after so many failed trades. If we bring in a costly player, if want something younger.

Good Trade McMann for O'reilly, the kid played really well at the WOrld Juniors. But I would like a Third round pick for Benoit too.

I love O'reilly for McMann. The kid played great at the world juniors and is a gamer. I'd like to get a 3rd round pick tossed in for Benoit too though.

I would prefer Blankenburg to Perbix. but I don’t think I would trade Robertson.
People tend to forget that Robertson missed two (2) years of development with the Marlies due to serious injury.
Robertson is just coming into his own at 24 and should become a consistent 20 goal scorer.
Not a blockbuster by any means but brings a 1st rounder in Barlow who is being wasted in Winnipegs defensive farm team (And regular team for that matter) system. The Jets are so woeful in offense that Macelli and Roy would be 5th and 6th in scoring there. McMann would entice them to let Barlow go. I would put him with the Marlies and send Cowan down to develop chemistry for future years. Cowans playmaking with Barlows shot could be deadly. Lettieri would help the Moose and possibly the Jets with some depth scoring but he is not really a fit in Toronto so basically we are hoping to get a 3rd rounder. Right now I think the Jets would part with Barlow because they still have Braydon Yager and Brad Lambert. Both of those as well having trouble getting traction in that defensive system there. Its starting to make sense why McGroarty wanted out immediately sparking the Trade for Yager. A 14th overall for a 14th overall. Barlow would also feel more comfortable playing closer to home and also having old Defense point man from Junior Bed Danford joining the fold after the OHL season ends. It could blow up but Barlow has a NHL caliber shot that overpowers goalies. If he rebounds I would rather it be with the leafs.
Anaheim helps solidify their right side D by adding Carlo who also has one year left on his deal. Roy can slot into 4th line C or a bottom 6 wing position. He also has another year term left which adds value to both players acquired.
Leafs take on Strome and his contract. Maybe coming home will help rejuvenate him. Luneau fills a need on the RD puck moving side. Gaucher is a big, physical defensive minded C/ W that can fill that role long term. He may never reach offensive potential, but very physical and battles hard. Pretty good scraper as well. Leafs also pick up a 2nd round pick.
Also
LA
Rielly $7.5M ($1.5M retained)
Robertson $1.85M
Tor
Moore $4.2M
Greentree ELC
LA needs help offensively. A change of scenery could really help Rielly. At $6M (with retention) he could help in that 2nd pair position moving Edmundson down to the 3rd pair or put Rielly with Doughty and Anderson with Clarke. Robertson will likely add more offense than Moore at a cheaper price.
Leafs take on Moores contract, but get Greentree as the added value to make the deal work as they are retaining on Rielly and Robertson is an upgrade on Moore.
Leafs save $4M in cap space. $25M for next season.
Out - Carlo, Roy, Rielly, Robertson.
In - Strome, Luneau, Gaucher, Moore, Greentree, 2nd
Also based on re-signing McMann and Laughton.
Leafs will need to look for D-men going forward obviously. They will have OEL, McCabe, Luneau, Benoit, Myers, Rafai and possibly Tanev, plus Danford as a good prospect.
Also, neither Strome or Moore have any trade protection, making it easier to move them again if the Leafs wanted to. Strome can be bought out at $1.67M for two years freeing up $3.3M next season, but adding $1.67M the season after.

I’m going to say yes to all these trades.
I do like Gaucher and Luneau a lot, both are very strong skaters with skill and IQ. Gaucher is a beast; if he can further his offensive skills he will be a very solid add.
Greentree is a big power winger that can score but lacks speed; he can keep up but far from a speedster. Like a Taveras but not as strong a puck carrier.
Moore and Strome don’t hurt but I would have liked something with more upside. Yes both could possibly recapture their form and get us other assets so sure.
I also like that the Anaheim R2 is in 2026.

Rielly is a cap dump, your not getting Greentree in any Rielly trade!
Agree0Disagree0
03 Feb 2026 20:56:38
Rsears. The idea of Strome and Moore is if Leafs take on their contracts without any retention, Leafs get the larger return as shown. Not really about them being an asset hopefully regaining form.
The no trade protection makes it worthwhile for the Leafs to take them as there are always teams rebuilding that need vets with good size cap hits to reach the cap floor. Leafs should be able to easily move one or both for a mid-late pick in the summer.

Marner4life. So is Moore a cap dump and LA as I said, is hurting for offence. They are aged to win now. For all his warts, Rielly can skate and puts up pretty solid offence. At $6M per, with the cap going up, he is likely worth that.
I hear so much about Greentree being so incredible. This is the same guy that was healthy scratched for team Canada at the WJC.
Not many 19 year old top players get scratched at the WJC. People talk like he is a for sure top line winger or something. He is likely to be a mid 6 winger that still needs time to develop. Guys with his size and strength can dominate in Junior, but not always when playing against men and he doesn't have the wheels to blow past people. He just turned 20 and still in Junior. I like him, but he is not likely to be a star. Top end is probably like a Lawson Crouse.

Okay understand, not a big leap for me.
I’m onboard.
03 Feb 2026 17:01:09
Just because Boston fleeced us doesn't mean we can fleece them back, maybe get your first back, but realistically they probably give you their first for him. I wouldn't trade a top 10 pick for Mcmann. If the roles were reversed nevernind adding minten.
Agree1Disagree0
03 Feb 2026 21:07:58
Lmao. Boston wouldn’t give you Minten straight up for Mcmann.
Agree1Disagree0
03 Feb 2026 22:46:09
Boston chuckles.
Again!
Definitely DON’T trade a 20 year old Ben Danford for Connor Murphy (33 years old March 26th)
I think Leafs have MORE THAN ENOUGH 30+ year old defensemen,
Leafs are beginning a Retool not competing for the Stanley Cup.
Had Stolarz played even reasonably well during his starts this year, Edmonton might be interested as Jarry has been a disappointment.
But Stolarz has been absolutely TERRIBLE so I doubt the Oilers are giving up their top prospect for him.

This is a crazy trade idea that I don’t think would happen, but imo wouldn’t be too off . MTL trades with Toronto which would help habs now and in the future while also giving Toronto enough pieces to do a proper rebuild
MTL sends : hage, reinbacher, dach, 26 1st, 27 1st, 26 2nd and 27 2nd
Toronto sends : mathews and knies
Fowler/ dobes
With the cap skyrocketing, bad contracts coming off the book and the core all signed to long term deals, habs wouldn’t have any problem extending demidov and mathews to long term deals
I just feel that demidov/ mathews combo is match made in heaven with slaf as great compliment, not to mention knies is the perfect fit for Suzuki/ caufield.

Carlo a RHD for Mangiapane?
Seriously?
Mangiapane is a disaster at $3.6 million for another season.
Mangiapane is no more than a cap dump.
Maybe Carlo (or McMann) for Ike Howard and the cap dump Mangiapane.
