Leafs Trade Rumors

I think Stolarz is our best trade chip right now. In fact he could open the door to deep playoff run.
The Hurricanes lack in goal so I’d feel them out for either Stankoven or Kotkaniemi PLUS Domink Badinka.
There might be a better return so am interested in whether you folks see Stolarz as the ticket to the finals?

13 Jan 2026 20:44:29
Don't typically get much for a goalie.

13 Jan 2026 23:23:30
You’re not totally incorrect Jb but Markstrom and Ullmark trades yielded good returns.
The Hurricanes are in significant help in goal so we might get a good payback.
We don’t need 3 goalies in my opinion.
Who would hope you trade him to and what would you take back?

14 Jan 2026 00:05:51
Totally DON’T want Kotkaniemi who was a disappointment in Montreal and continues to be a disappointment in Carolina.

14 Jan 2026 01:02:46
Your trading stolarz at his lowest value he will to get much of anything in return.

14 Jan 2026 12:33:28
Perhaps you’re right but the Olympic shutdown is quite problematic.
No games between Feb5-25 doesn’t allow much time to rebuild his value.
And if not Stolarz who gets us value in return!
Not trading Cowan, Danford, Holinka and a few others.

15 Jan 2026 11:49:00
I wouldn’t trade Stolarz. When he is on, he is our best goalie. With the team playing better in front of him, I’d like to see what he can do when he gets back. I’d move Hildeby or Woll as a trade chip to get Hyman or a similar type player. Stolarz, as long as he doesn’t get head hunted in playoffs is our best chance to lead us to the promised land.

13 Jan 2026 20:45:57
This it the first trade I read on here that I like.

13 Jan 2026 23:25:39
I see two trades propose. Which one or both?

13 Jan 2026 23:35:00
First trade is awesome
Second trade not sure if you get that much for a goalie
Would take Luneau and a 2nd.

14 Jan 2026 17:30:17
Yeah 4 pieces plus retention Trouba is definitely too much for Stolarz.
I am ok with Luneau but would rather have someone half decent that we could stick in the lineup right now.

14 Jan 2026 21:39:16
May have gone overboard on the second. But a team like the ducks look pretty desperate right now for a solid goalie. Defencemen not a problem for them they r deep. They have lots of good prospects and the picks are multiples they have. At least they get something for Trouba. They have lots of cap space so retaining doesn’t hurt them. Throw in Maccelli or Robertson so u get the whole package maybe.

12 Jan 2026 16:36:09
I am not really for trading for Andersson, even if he agrees to an extension. Leafs don't really have the assets for that. If the Leafs are a team Andersson would extend for, then why not wait for free agency where it only costs money and no assets. I am not sure he pushed the Leafs over the finish line. As I said much earlier in the season, let this play out and see what is there at the TDL.

If the belief by management is that Cowan can fill Robertson's spot moving forward, then I would still look to move Robertson while he is playing well. I's like to see a "presence" on the Leafs that can play and may be available. I still think that guy is Klapka. Is he in Olivier or Reaves category as a fighter, no. But he is capable, willing and plays a very physical game with skill. He is also signed for an extra year and RFA still after that.

CGY
Robertson $1.825M
Tor
Klapka $1.25M

If Calgary keeps fading, they may be interested in the more offensive upside of Robertson over Klapka.

Leafs pick up a right shot physical RW to play with Lorentz and Laughton. Klapka does have some offensive ability and should fit well with those two. Will still be a bit of a logjam upfront when Joshua comes back, but he is likely out a couple of months. May be able to squeeze a little more out of Calgary.

13 Jan 2026 01:00:10
Robertson for klapka might be the worst trade I have ever seen on this site. Klapka is gonna be a career 4th liner who doesn’t score more than 10 goals. Robertson is on his way to 20 goals and he’s only getting better. He might be a 25 or 30 goal scorer some day. Leafs would never make this trade.

13 Jan 2026 01:27:37
I support a trade for Klapka 100%
Lorentz and Laughton have been two of Leafs beast players all season.
To get them a suitable RW seems like a nó brainer to me.
It would turn the 4th line into Leafs best all round line.
Leafs would miss Robertson as he Cowan and Roy are playing well together but that situation can be rectified.

13 Jan 2026 12:52:10
Mattyboy21. I have heard for years Robertson is on his way to being a 25-30 goal scorer. He may reach that, but will that be the norm or his career year? He is currently on pace for 18/ 19 and playing the best hockey of his career. He is a replaceable player imo.

13 Jan 2026 14:32:11
I’m all for tweaking but I believe the biggest priority is replacing Tanev not getting a fourth liner. Either go get Schenn or make a trade with the Ducks for Gudas or Trouba. Won’t cost you anything for schenn. The other 2 if u trade Stolarz will get the one of them plus more. Prospect and a pick. Ducks need a goalie bad.

11 Jan 2026 19:56:34
If Toronto and the St. Louis Blues were to work on a trade, Toronto would receive Colton Parayko and Alexey Toropchenko, while St. Louis would get Oliver Ekman-Larsson, Nick Robertson, Calle Järnkrok, and Myers going the other way.

Toronto’s defense could then look like this:

Rielly – Parayko
McCabe – Stecher
Benoit – Carlo (That would give the Leafs a real shutdown pairing. )

Toropchenko would take Robertson’s spot in the lineup. There’s still a lot of untapped potential in Alexey that we haven’t fully seen yet.

11 Jan 2026 21:25:38
If Tanev is done for the season u need to replace them and not with an expensive over the top trade. Like they call it a band aid with a proven veteran dman. Schenn ppl say what they will but is the perfect candidate. Won’t cost you anything to get and is a perfect replacement. Does everything Tanev does. With all these other guys you are getting aging d men that come with lots of term and high cap hits for what they bring. Not worth it. IMO don’t touch the forwards either they r buying in right now and are trending upward let it ride I say!

11 Jan 2026 21:40:58
Rielly and Parayko would be the softest defence line in the league. Neither play physical or defend very well. If we get Parayko then Rielly needs to be traded. OEL has been far better then Rielly all year at half the price!

12 Jan 2026 02:30:25
I would keep OEL.
He has played very well this year despite often being moved from his natural left side to the right of his pairing.
Rielly is the player I would want to trade but he has a NMC and isn’t going to St Louis.
Best to nibble cheaply, around the edges with a Luke Schenn.
Leaf Nation had an interesting article about Nashville’s Nick Blankenburg a 27 year old, small, puck moving, RHD with a cap hit of $775,000.

12 Jan 2026 14:04:45
absolutely not trading OEL. Most trusted offensive damn on the team.

Ever heard of the salary cap?

Third doesn’t get Hamilton.

11 Jan 2026 16:01:13
Approx numbers
Reilly $7.5 mil
Cowan $2.6 mil
Tanev $4.5 mil

Total $14.6 mil

Anderson $4.55 mil
Kadri $7 mil

Total $11.55 mil.

11 Jan 2026 16:16:25
You are correct. I forgot to include Hamilton’s contract.

11 Jan 2026 16:30:54
A third does get you Hamilton at a full $9 million per year. But only a few teams would be willing to take him on at that price.

11 Jan 2026 17:59:08
Tanev not on LTIR. So his cap not available until he is put on it. Cowan doesn’t make 2.6m only makes $875k. Like u said forgot about 9mil on Dougie and why on earth would u want him for another 2yrs at that cost as he has been on such a rapid decline over the last 2 seasons. You can shake hands with Leafs2425 on posting ridiculous proposals.

11 Jan 2026 18:52:57
Cowan salary is just under $900k.

11 Jan 2026 18:55:06
A $9m defenceman on your third pairing…. lmao.
