If Leafs go full blown rebuild

Matthews in a sign & trade to Arizona for Lipkin, the 6th & 12 th pick in this year's 2023 draft & an unprotected 1st Rd pick in 2024 & 2025. Leafs pick up half of Matthews contract in final year in 2023 / 2024. Suddenly players like Keller may be interested in staying.

Nylander in a sign and trade, Reilly & rights to Samsonov to Chicago for Mzarek & th 19th overall pick in this year's NHL draft, Nazar, Korchinski, Rinzel, Commesso & Reichel & a 1st Rd pick in 2024.

Leafs roll with Murray & Mzarek as an equal goaltending tandem, & draft in the top 3 in 2024

Marner, Brodie & Liljegren to Columbus for the 3rd & 22 nd overall picks in this year's NHL draft & a 1st round unprotected pick in 2024. Leafs pick up half of remaining two years on Marner contract.

Leafs would draft 3rd, 6th, 12th, 19th, 22nd & 28th in this year's NHL draft.

Take 6th & 12 the move up to 4th
draft Michkov 3rd, presumably Bedard & Fantilli go 1st & 2nd overall. Michkov will be worth the wait, though Leafs could negotiate his release from his KHL club contract. Draft Carlsson 4th overall, he really could pan out to be a young Sundin.

Leafs would also have multiple 1st Rd picks in 2024, for the rebuild.

Top 6 for the 2025 / 2026 season

So in other words complete rebuild another 5-10 years of absolutely nothing that’ll be a hard no.

Robetston is not a top 6 in this league might might even be a top 6 on the AHL.
