It's time to re think where we are as a team..in my mind there needs to be a major shake up. My theory is as follows:

Toronto : Trades Austin Matthews

Anaheim: Trades RW Beckett Sennecke(19yr)
RD Drew Helleson(24yr)
1st and 2nd round pick 2026

Add Luneau and Colangelo
I will add Jarnkrok and Benoit and Hildeby.

I’d take it if Anaheim says yes. I’d even take Roger McQueen, Helleson a first and 2nd to kick this rebuild.

That’s not a bad return for Matthews as hockey talent goes.
But, if you are trading Matthews that leaves only the 35 year old Tavares as a top 6 center for the Leafs
In my opinion, a center as part of the return package is a must.
Something like:

To Nashville: Matthews

To Leafs, Brady Martin (C), Luke Evangelists (RW), Nicolas Hague, 1st round pick, plus Marchessault to make the cap work.

Or

To LA Kings: Matthews

To Leafs: Quinton Byfield (C), Brandt Clarke (RHD), Liam Greentree, 2026 - 1st round pick

These are just suggestions but include a young higher end center for the future.

Ducks have no reason to make this trade.

I don’t think the Leafs can afford to trade Matthews unless a top 6 center is coming pack as part of the return package.
Two right wingers and draft picks doesn’t do it for me.

At WB, I’d do the LAK trade in a second. Byfield is good not great. Clarke is sick and Greenetree looks like he’s gonna be real good. It’s a solid start after trading Matthews. This new foundation would round into a problem.
