What about a trade with LA
Nylander and Domi
For
Byfield and Kuzmenko
Does anyone add?
02 Jan 2026 18:05:01
Yes La.
03 Jan 2026 00:11:57
Maybe Nylander for Byfield and Clarke
Or
Nylander for Quinton Byfield and Liam Greentree.
I appreciate the desire to move Domi as I am not a Domi fan either.

Why would Dallas make such a terrible trade.
So one sided favoring the Leafs.
02 Jan 2026 16:51:28
Well one sided it may look now but! From what I’ve seen as of late from AM I’m not sure. Matthews is starting to appear healthy and dangerous again. 4 pts last night against Winnipeg! So, I’m NOT saying plan the parade or now keep him bc I still believe he’ll leave after his contract expires but if he keeps this up his trade value will skyrocket! Thank you 34! Nice parting gift to the fans!
02 Jan 2026 18:09:44
Matthews catching fire and looked really good against a tough jets team that came to play last night. His value is going up as is all the leafs roster. I wouldn’t be making any moves until deadline. Matthews would be offseason regardless.
30 Dec 2025 16:30:34
This would obviously be an off-season deal and could be more realistic if Dallas sh*ts the bed again.
To Dallas
Matthews $14.25M/ 2yrs
Knies $7.75M/ 5yrs
2027 2nd
To Toronto
Johnston$8.4M/ 4yrs
Harley $10.587M/ 8yrs
Hemming ELC
2027 1st
Not sure if values make sense, but this would be a block buster for both teams.
Thoughts?
30 Dec 2025 17:31:54
I think this trade just fixes one issue and creates another Harley is a great add but then you got to move someone else on the blueline and then your also adding a good young player but then your losing two pieces I’d rather keep knies and try a submit the trade without him in it.
30 Dec 2025 17:37:40
I don't like the idea of moving Knies anywhere tbh.
30 Dec 2025 18:21:07
This is a tough one. The value back to the Leafs is quite good, but Knies is a guy I would want to build around. Rare commodity. I think we forget sometimes he is only 23. If Matthews was going, and this is the best offer, I wouldn't be thrilled, but I wouldn't be angry either.
30 Dec 2025 18:53:21
I understand most don't want to get rid of Knies (and I really don't either), but this return gives us that potential 1D, which Leafs haven't had in forever.
Johnston has a good potential to be a 1C, so we still replace the 1C positon as well (albeit with a lesser talent) .
Dallas still has a young 1D in Heiskanen, so this might be a trade that interests them as well. Something that may tip the scales for their Stanley Cup run.
@Goat we're gaining to star young pieces as well as losing 2 star pieces. It's pretty much roster player for roster players and then Leafs add a good prospect plus a 1st round pick.
Anyways, just looking at different targets.
Plus, Leafs can trade off some of their other Dmen (such as OEL at the TDL) . He would probably fetch a 1st.
31 Dec 2025 13:46:58
Knies is going nowhere. Kid’s a beast signed to a great contract.
31 Dec 2025 15:54:14
@Blowhard24
Definitely, all trades aren't going to please or intrigue everyone, but I'm just trying to think out of the box and look at different targets as opposed to the same targets getting re-invented over and over.
BTW, we all love Knies, but you have to give to get. Plus his contract isn't great IMO, IT'S FAIR. It would have been great if signed for 8 years.
01 Jan 2026 14:05:05
Still a NO to trading Knies even in 2026. It would have been like trading Wendel in his prime. It will deflate the heart out of team. I don’t get why people are taking the best all around heart forward in years (who we have been craving for) and just trading him because well Morgan Reilly sucks and we need to improve our puck moving D. Please just leave him out of the trades, the whole fan base would turn on Tre and he would be fired in less than a month.
02 Jan 2026 16:56:12
No way to Trading Knies! He’s the future of this organization period! Maybe add Robertson and Cowboy. Does this come close to Matthews and Knies to Dallas? Or is there other pieces that should be involved added or subtracted?
30 Dec 2025 14:26:53

You know what would be nice is some original thought on these posts if I want to see proposed trades by reporters or analyst I’ll read them in the articles they write. I come here to read thinking outside the box but keep getting the same 💩 I read in articles. Then told my posts are ridiculous cause I don’t follow the analyst or reporters outlooks or predictions.
30 Dec 2025 17:52:44
I have no issue with someone posting a deal they saw somewhere else. I would prefer they note it is something they saw, but why does it matter where they got the idea?
Some of your trades blowhard are just slight retools of what other people on here have already posted. Nor are people saying your posts are ridiculous because they don't follow analysts or reporters. They say they are ridiculous because they all heavily favour the Leafs because you don't put much value on other teams players.
Take your Utah trade you listed.
Guenther (9 OA pick) is a 22 year old on pace for 35 goals and 65 points. Close to what Matthews had as a 21 year old (37/ 73). Guenther had 27/ 33 for 60 as a 21 year old. That's not a massive difference.
Crouse-Big, physical 30-40 pt two way vet forward
Iginla- (6 OA pick)19 year old on a 100 pt pace in junior. Looks like a top 6 forward in the making.
Lamoureux- (29 OA pick)21 year old 6'7" good skating right shot D who has already played some in the NHL. Top 4 D trending.
2026 1st
What does Utah get. Matthews, (who at the moment) is not a top 5 player in the world anymore. He's on pace for just over 30 goals and 60 points. Less than last year. Makes $13.25M. You add Robertson for value. On pace for 17 goals and 35 points. Guenther and Crouse alone may equal Robertson's and Matthews production this year. And Utah is supposed to add Iginla, Lamoureux and another 1st. When Matthews was scoring 50+, that would still be a decent haul. He hasn't done that in 2 seasons now.
30 Dec 2025 18:07:55
Funny, I have young kids and don't really pay attention to outside posts just check this site once or twice a day. Pretty sure my last post was a Matthews to phili for 2 1sts Drysdale and grebenkin and got told to make more realistic trades, so what can ya do.
31 Dec 2025 00:04:55
Lol
Blowhard your trade posts are hilarious because anyone who follows hockey knows what you are posting is lunacy.
31 Dec 2025 13:40:33
Ok so you are saying guenther is going to lead the league in goals scored from now until age 28? Cause that’s what Matthews has done. FYI Matthews is averaging the same points per game as guenther at this moment. Crouse has less points then Robertson and is 4yrs older with dbl the cap hit with no RFA rights he’s a FA. These things are all factors in my trade. U take one of iginla or lamaureux out but not the picks and guenther and Crouse definitely not.
31 Dec 2025 18:13:43
Inhale deeply, exhale extremely loudly.

Kraken 2pts out of wild card spot with games in hand on both teams occupying those spots. Also has multiple 1st rd picks in each year. Non tax state for fashion boy keeps more money.
30 Dec 2025 17:10:27
SEA doesn't make this trade because it simply guts them down the middle by trading two centres who are both young. So they don't move both Beniers and Wright.
If you can get Wright, O'Brien, and 2 1st round picks for Matthews and Roberston, you probably want to make this deal if you're TOR. I still don't know if SEA wants to do it, as they have a lot of youth and should probably just wait another year to see what they have.
30 Dec 2025 17:59:06
Because Beniers and Wright have never really taken off yet and became top point producers, if O'Brien was removed, this may be close.
30 Dec 2025 18:30:12
@RLF
Yeah, if one of those three SEA players is removed from the proposal, then it may be close.
For SEA, since O'Brien isn't quite NHL ready, and since Matthews is a Centre and the deal shifts them to 'win-now', doesn't parting with O'Brien in the deal, and also one of SEA's young centers make more sense than sending both center out?
I also wonder if Robertson's truly necessary in this hyptothical. If Chinakhov could fetch a 2nd and 3rd yesterday, then Robertson should be able to get the Leafs something very similar, no?
31 Dec 2025 00:05:37
French. Depends on their projection of O'Brien compared to Beniers and Wright. If they see O'Brien as a true top 6 centre, then moving the other 2 would make sense.
31 Dec 2025 13:30:56
I would want obrien over wright if I was leafs. Beniers there more for cap reasons and an immediate replacement for Matthews.
01 Jan 2026 01:23:23
If O’Brien is taken out TML should NOT make the trade.
You guys have all lost faith in Matthews.
02 Jan 2026 17:06:19
@FrensU Chinakov got a 2nd and 3rd Round picks crazy. It is market value tho I guess but! If Nicky Bobby keeps playing the way he is trending he will get a larger return I think and tbh other than the size difference between Chin and Robby I think NR is looking like a better player in general. More of what and why the Leafs have kept him around to develop into, while also maximizing their return. Cause he isn’t in the long term future I don’t believe.
29 Dec 2025 23:52:12
Some mock trades that are kinda go for it moves
Tor: domi, maccelli rights to topi niemela
Nsh: marchessault bunting (50%)
Or
Tor: domi
Min: Hartman
First trade is really the one I wouldn't Mind leafs get deeper in their top 6 and move two guys that just haven't fit there is incentive for Barry to make this deal he gets out of a contract that isn't good and he's getting something for bunting who likely isn't resigning only hold up would be domi would have to waive
Second trade same kinda thing two players who make the same amount need new teams
30 Dec 2025 13:25:03
Leafs add in Preds trade. Domi has zero trade value.
30 Dec 2025 17:14:42
If anything, MIN needs another Center.

Claim Heinen and send Cowan to AHL to learn, get stronger and have more playing time.
29 Dec 2025 22:25:22
Heinen’s been traded
But I agree to let Cowan season in the AHL
The kid needs minutes
Berube is a goofball and knows nothing about building young players
Robertson is crucified even after scoring goals
They have already ruined him.
29 Dec 2025 22:53:00
Cowan did not look good last game. Leafs have too many bodies, so probably best to send him down and let him play.
I still do t get the ruined Robertson talk. The guy can go on stretches without producing a point even when he has been given opportunity. His biggest enemy is his attitude. When he scored last game after JT did all the work and put it on a platter for him, not one point to or word to JT. It was all look at me, look what I just did. He's a selfish player and that is why he hasn't been grown. Hopefully he will grow up and realize the team and team success is more important than him or his success.
Do people not think Laughton feels he is more than a 4th line C. He probably does, he should anyway. But he is more about the team than himself. Robertson could learn from that.

You have to give value to get value.
Where is the value to St Louis?
30 Dec 2025 13:05:54
Carlo is only 28yrs old at a 3.49 cap hit for one more season parayko is 32 with a 6.5 cap hit for 4 more seasons. Just there alone there is value. Leafs don’t need another 30 something year old signed long term. Never do this trade just in that contract alone.
