So I’ve heard things about Murray being a potential target for the Maple Leafs. As a guy who really wants Gibson, Kuemper or Fleury, if we can’t get one of the three then I would take a look at Matt Murray. I feel like if he came here to Toronto where he’s from and somehow he finds a way to shine a play the way he did in Pittsburgh then I’d say that’s a steel. He hasn’t been great the past two-three season and that’s because of injury and teams that’s he’s one. The year before he joined the Senators, the Penguins were a decently good team with huge upside and had so much potential with two starting goalies with him and Jarry at the time. Then when he signs in Ottawa, not only did injury screw him over again but it was also the team that was in front of him as well. If he can get a fresh start with a team that’s on the verge of winning a cup I think he could be one of the pieces that this team is missing. So this is what a trade would look like in my opinion if Toronto and Ottawa were too do a trade. I’d do something like this.
Toronto acquires;
Murray
Zub
Watson
2023 3rd round pick
Ottawa acquires:
Mrazek
Holl
Anderson
2023 6th round pick.

From what I read it isn’t a trade scenario dubas is interested in they want to see if Ottawa buys out Murray and then they will sign him as a ufa.
2.) 13 Jun 2022 00:01:28
Murray has a $6+ a year cap hit.
For far less we can keep Campbell.
Unless Ottawa buys him out he is not in Leafs plans.
It has been years since Murray was a NHL caliber, starting goalie.
Even in Ottawa he lost the starting job to Forsberg who Leafs could have had on waivers and the backup position to Gufstafson.
Why would he be a fit on a contender?
Unless he signs for $1 million I do not feel
Leafs should use a SPC on him!
3.) 13 Jun 2022 00:20:20
Why would you possibly want Murray? He just isn't worth that contract.
24 May 2022 14:14:40
Toronto trades: Nick Robertson, Petr Mrazek, Alex Kerfoot and a first round pick
Anaheim trades: John Gibson, Max Comtois, Kevin Shattenkirk and a second.
Now I know y’all won’t agree with this trade or question why I added some guys in this deal so let me explain. John Gibson is apparently rumoured and linked to the Leafs and could be a guy that they acquire if. Campbell doesn’t sign according to Elliotte Friedman. Gibson in my opinion is still a top goalie in the league when healthy and when he’s on a good team. Obviously Anaheim hasn’t been the greatest for over three seasons but he still has a great GAA and Save %. He’s been on the Leafs radar for years and if Campbell doesn’t come back then Toronto shouldn’t pass up on the opportunity to get a goalie in John Gibson. With Comtois this could be a guy that could possibly replace a guy like Kase or Blackwell If they don’t resign with the Leafs. Comtois is a former 16 goal scorer that could come on a team with skill and make an impact maybe on the third or fourth line and could even bounce up to the first or second line if need. He’s 6’2 210-220 and he can hit. Max hasn’t got the opportunity to show what he’s made of in the league and I feel like Toronto could give him that opportunity. Finally with Shattenkirk, he’s another guy that has probably been rumoured to the Leafs for a while. Right handed shot player that we need on this team because maybe if Lyubushkin doesn’t sign which I hope he does, Shattenkirk can replace him and make our defence hard to play against. For a player that’s in his mid 30s he’s still averaging good numbers. So these are guys that I think Toronto should get. Sound off in the comments if you like this trade or no. But in the comments definitely add different players in the deal but keep Gibson in the deal.
1.) 24 May 2022 18:26:08
At this point Robertson is a B prospect. So you're expecting, a high second, a top 10 goalie, comtois and shatty (because that's how he plays defence) and a high second for: a B prospect, a cap dump, a rental and a late first?
You don't see an issue here?
2.) 24 May 2022 20:07:24
Toronto should trade Muzzin (no trade does not kick in until July 1st 2023)
Toronto trades Muzzin and Abreeze
To
Anaheim for Maxine Comtois and Max Jones.
3.) 24 May 2022 21:07:51
Actually, Muzzin has a full no trade until July 1st 2023. Then it becomes a partial no trade (10 team list starts July 2023).
4.) 24 May 2022 21:09:16
@Adam. Sorry, can't imagine Anaheim taking this deal.
5.) 25 May 2022 03:38:19
Love to have the two Max’s from Anaheim.
They both are young and would add physicality to a somewhat soft lineup.
17 Feb 2022 12:58:22
There is another defencemen I have been watching for a while and have been a target for us for a couple of years now. His name is Dylan DeMelo of the Winnipeg Jets. He’s 6’0 191 pounds and he a very physical defencemen that could fit in our lineup. Yea he may not be good offensively and doesn’t average many points per game or even points in a season and it’s hard because before this season he had scored in over two- three season. I know this isn’t my first choice but if I did this trade I would centre this trade around a guy like Andrew Copp. I’ve always been a fan of Copp and think he can fit the second or third line with the leafs. He’s got size on him which could really help the leafs out in the playoffs. Copp always has good production every year so he could be a player that could be apart of the future. So here’s how I would look at it and how I’d make a trade.
Jets receive: Ritchie, Holl or either Dermott, a 2023 third or fourth
Leafs receive: Copp, DeMelo and a third or fourth
I think this could be a trade that could workout for both sides and it could happen.
1.) 17 Feb 2022 14:39:27
I have also been a fan of Demelo since his days in Ottawa and was upset the Leafs did not trade for him. also a fan of Copp and actually came up with these 2 players as a possible deal just last night. however i dunno that we could re-sign Copp next year and i also think Jets would never take that deal from Leafs for DeMelo alone. he is signed to decent contract and for like 3 more years. we definately have to add to this deal.
2.) 17 Feb 2022 14:53:24
DeMelo has been discussed recently. Copp is one I have mentioned myself in the past. Like the targets, but man, you and I see values very differently. Copp plays top 6 minutes in Winnipeg. DeMelo has been getting more icetime since the coaching change, but is a really good 5 if not a complimentary 4.
So for what Winnipeg is offering, Toronto is offering an overpaid forward they have in the AHL (otherwise known as a cap dump), a struggling D-man or a D-man that cannot find a regular spot in the lineup and the Leafs will also get a draft pick this year in exchange for one next year.
You said this trade could help both teams, how does it help Winnipeg?
3.) 17 Feb 2022 17:51:08
When you buy a new car do you start the offer at 7$?
No chance either team accepts this.
4.) 19 Feb 2022 02:23:07
I’ve been advocating for DeMelo for years.
Leafs could have had him for nothing when San Jose put him on waivers.
Leafs could have acquired him when Ottawa made him available and Winnipeg picked him up for a 3rd round pick.
DeMelo would be a great addition and a big improvement over Holl on the 2nd pairing and PK.
03 Feb 2022 16:15:06
Leafs acquire: Chiarot, Lehkonen, Allen
Habs acquire: Ritchie. Holl, Mrazek.
The reason I add Mrazek is because if the leafs get Jake Allen, they will have less cap to pay for a backup goaltender and I think it could fit and I believe it could workout both ways.
1.) 03 Feb 2022 17:04:19
I don't quite understand why MTL would want to do this? We're sending them a 5-6 defender on most teams, a press box forward and a backup goalie that's done nothing of note so far.
2.) 03 Feb 2022 17:59:15
It is always great when guys that call others trade ideas as brutal or the worst he has ever seen, is the same guy that comes out with these beauties one after another. lol.
3.) 03 Feb 2022 21:50:14
He's just throwing them out there to see if they make sense in his next article lol.
01 Feb 2022 15:17:19
According to Elliotte Friedman the Leafs are still interested in Manson and Chiarot. I don’t care what any Leafs fans say the cheaper option is Chiarot. Manson would cost way too much and Anaheim is in a playoff spot so the Ducks wouldn’t want to get rid of him because they would need him for that playoff run. With Chiarot, he’s the best option. He won’t cost that much and these analysts can say that the Habs want a prospect, first round pick and a NHL roster player but I don’t think that’s what they’ll get. Dubas won’t want to waste a first round pick on a rental again so if you give a second or third then that might work but not a first round pick. Everyone can say the don’t like Chiarot but when we acquire him and he does what he is suppose to in the playoffs everyone will regret there words.
1.) 01 Feb 2022 19:20:19
Ask yourself something, why won't Chariot cost much? .
2.) 05 Feb 2022 21:30:33
Ben Chariot is garbage. Why do you think that the Montreal Canadiens as a whole are garbage? Any chance the Montreal Canadiens create the French Connection Line in trades for Claude Giroux, Jonathan Marchessault, and Johnny Gaudreau?

We all know that Mark Giordano will be out of action for a significant amount of time. And although Benoit and Lagesson have been very good for the Leafs so far since being called up, I do think a trade for a defencemen needs to happen ASAP. Not saying that Benoit and Lagesson are bad defencemen. However, I feel like if they keep those guys in the lineup it’s gonna put a lot of pressure on them to try and be the same way they are now (playing wise) . That’s why I feel like Treliving needs to pull the trigger right now and make a deal with Calgary that would send both Zadorov and Tanev to Toronto. We know that Treliving loves his big physical defencemen and there are reasons why that Treliving brought them into Calgary in the first place. The style of hockey that they bring is something that the Leafs lack a lot of in the backend and that’s… physicality and bring in Zadorov who is playing well this year, is very physical, big body that’s the type of players we need. Now I know McCabe brings that level of physicality to the defence but I feel like you can never go wrong with a lot of physical defencemen on your team. Bringing in Tanev who’s great on the PK, physical, great shot blocker and good at getting the puck out would also be something good for the Leafs as well. The assets that we may have to give go to get one or both players is a lot and I’m ok with that. But if Treliving wants both guys which apparently he does then you can trade someone like an Abruzzese or Klingberg’S LTIR contract or any rookie. At this point if the Leafs want to be harder to play against then those are the two guys you get. This season we have seen the ups and downs that this defence has had. We’ve seen a lot of key pieces go this past offseason in Schenn and Gustafsson but when the Leafs signed Klingberg I thought one of two things. 1) he will be that Norris Trophy Nominee that played well in Dallas or 2) he will be the mediocre defencemen that gets hurt. The time to make a trade is now. For years Toronto has been interested in Tanev and for the past year since the trade deadline last season Toronto has been interested in Zadorov. Since Brad Treliving knows them well, the time to trade for these two is now and I hope to see these two players represent the blue and white sooner then later.
1.) 29 Nov 2023 21:25:35
What is he trading to get both? I'm thinking CGY asks for something like
Tor Zadorov Tanev
CGY Minten Lilly 1st 2nd 3rd
They can get a 1st+ for either one at the deadline should they retain.
Honestly, we're hitting a point where I might just say stand pat and pray. The office looks bad. Now Willy's heater ended he hasn't looked great, Marner seems to be a black hoke for whoever he plays with, and outside of 5 games Mathews has done nothing.
2.) 30 Nov 2023 12:04:38
Adam. Not that I disagree that the D needs work. Tree said that since the day he arrived. Can't say I ever thought Gustafsson was a key piece, but Schenn was a loss, but of course he has been hurt most of this season and since he came back, he's a 3rd pair D.
I think Lyubushkin and Peeke are both options Tree will be looking at as well.
02 Nov 2023 16:49:26
I don’t know if anyone else feels this way but I know the Leafs are 10 games in but I have a concern with the goaltending and defence. The defence hasn’t been good at all this season and I feel like a shake up in the defence definitely makes a lot of sense. For starters, the game against LA, the Leafs defence was absolutely atrocious. That fourth goal that LA scored should not have happened. The reason I say that is because if you watch the play that caused the goal then you’ll understand why not only from that play does the defence need to change but every game the Leafs play the defence needs to change. On the fourth goal that LA scored, Laggeson had the puck behind the net and chipped it over to Klingberg which it went over his stick. Klingberg then moves away from the man he should be defending but goes to the man that Matthews is covering which Matthews has to turn and take Klingberg man. Then they scored. The defence all season so far have been out of position, their decision making has been very concerning and they have a hard time in the defensive zone. From the start of the season I knew this defence lacked one thing that they need the most… physicality and if I look at the market, they’re man players I would like to see not just to add as a 7th or 8th defencemen but definitely in the top 4 and 6. One person that comes to mind is Nikita Zadorov. The others are like Andrew Peeke, Jared Tinordi for depth, Larsson who I’ve said for years the Leafs should get from Seattle, I thought they should’ve brought back Bogosian when he got put on waivers and many more physical guys. And I wouldn’t be surprised if the Maple Leafs make a trade to help their defence. Now with the goaltending. I get you need to have a good defence in front of you for the goalie to have a good game and when your defence and you forwards don’t play well, you need your goalie to steal the game for the team. Samsonov so fair through 10 games has been awful. With the new goalie coach I get he’s still learning for the style of the new coach and the new stance in the crease that he has that he’s learned from the coach, but when he’s in net I have no confidence in him to steal a game or help us win this game. He looks slow and no in position properly. But when I look at a player like Joseph Woll he’s been killing it, yea he’s had two bad games this year that he should’ve won for us. But besides that, ever since she’s been up with the Maple Leafs he’s looked like the goalie of the future that will win a Veznia Trophy in the foreseeable future. And in my opinion I definitely think Woll will be the starting goalie by Christmas and for the playoffs. I do think they go out and trade for a goalie if Samsonov continues to play the way he’s playing or they call up Jones and have him be the backup throughout the year but I do think there has to be something done in goal. I know the Leafs have no money to spend on a goalie but I’m sick of them going into free agency every year and signing a goalie that’s originally a backup and making them a starter like Andersen, Campbell, Samsonov. I want a true number one like Saros, Fleury. Any true starting goalie I feel like would help bring the Leafs to the next level and help us win the Stanley Cup. I know people on this website think with the stuff I say I don’t make sense but you guys can say what you want. This is just my opinion.
1.) 02 Nov 2023 18:07:25
Zadorov solves absolutely nothing. In a perfect world, yes, he's a Leaf. But he's just Jake McCabe. A LD who should be playing 3rd pair, but is ok in the top 4 in a pinch.
Which goalie is available in free agency or by trade? That's always the issue with goalies. It's nearly impossible to find a Saros, Vassy, Hell boy, etc. Teams don't just hand them over, nor do they hit the market often. And when they do, you're paying Bob money like FLA had to.
2.) 03 Nov 2023 12:06:31
@Adam. I don't think you will get a lot of argument on here with what you just wrote because a lot of it actually makes sense. The problem is, you can't get guys from other teams just because you want them. Does Bogo really make a big impact? He would help with some physicality, but he isn't playing big minutes. Who/ what are you willing to trade for a #1 goalie? That is the real question. And after you sent great assets or roster player (s) to get the goalie, what do you have left to get the D-men the Leafs need?
31 Oct 2023 17:00:29
I hear a lot of people talk about how William Nylander is going to get traded and I have to say in my opinion I think he’ll be a Maple Leaf come next season. Obviously he’s been the best Maple Leaf this season and with his play he’s definitely going to ask for a pay raise and 100% it’ll be hard to sign him. But looking at it from a different perspective, for years and years everyone had said Nylander was always the odd man out and it’s never happened. I remember when he was an RFA and it took him all the way until the beginning of December to sign a deal and didn’t play well at all that season. During that offseason you heard everyone say to trade him because he’s not going to be the player we thought he would be. Then after that for the last 3-4 season he’s been one of the best players in the league. What I think will happen is if they want to find a way to keep Nylander around for the foreseeable future then I feel like they will trade Brodie, Jarnkrok and Nick Robertson. Maybe even dumping Matt Murray’s contract. Because I feel like the top three priorities for the Leafs this off-season will be to sign Nylander, Bertuzzi and Domi if they continue to play well. Those three I feel like will sign back and will also be Maple Leafs for the foreseeable future. I think if they Leafs were to trade Nylander, I feel like the Leafs really won’t get what they want because I see a lot of people on Twitter or even like in articles propose Leaf trades that include William Nylander and they aren’t the greatest. That’s the one thing that worries me the most is if we trade Nylander then we won’t really get anything good back in return. Same thing with trades in the past the Leafs have made whether it was the Mrazek trade or trying to trade a good depth forward, they didn’t get good assets to help the team out. So at the end of the day I feel like Nylander will be and will stay and Toronto Maple Leaf.
1.) 31 Oct 2023 18:01:01
This didn't make any sense at all tbh. Nick Robertson isn't counting against the cap, Brodie is off the books after this season, and Matt Murray is on LTIR and off the books after this year.
From the start, I've wanted Marner gone. For all the qualms I have with Willy's game, I'd take Willy at 6.9 over marner at 10.9 anytime. I'd also sign Willy at 10x8 before I gave Marner 14x8 (what I think he asks for) .
Bertuzzi and Domi also have not been good. They've in fact been horrible at all times.
I agree Willy will be a Leaf next season, but I really hope he isn't. I'd let him walk, use the space, then let Marner walk if we won't sign for 10x8.
24 Oct 2023 16:09:22
In my opinion watching the first 5 games of the season, there are a lot of things that this team really needs to work on. I understand that it is still early into this season but the fact that the team is living up to expectations as we thought they were is very concerning. Knies, Domi, Bertuzzi, Klingberg, Gregor, Reaves, Matthews etc, have been struggling and I know that they are still trying to get the chemistry with in there linemates but the fact that each position is struggle, to me is very concerning and a little worried. First off with the defence, I don’t think it’s as good as the defence that was in the first round of the playoffs against Tampa Bay and the trade deadline last season. To me this team needs another physical right handed shot defencemen. The names that come up for me are Andrew Peeke, Connor Murphy, Zach Bogosian who got put on waivers and I thought the Leafs should have Claimed off waivers. There are also guys like Zadorov, Bortuzzo, Parayko and orhers. So adding to this defence is a must. Secondly the goaltending. I have a very big issue with the goaltending and although we are five games into the season, Samsonov hasn’t looked good at all and it’s a very big issue. I think if Woll continues to play better the Samsonov then he will be the starter and you should definitely look into trading Samsonov for a legitimate number 1 goalie who can teach Woll a bit more and that can be the guy to help us in the playoffs but like I said we still have to wait and see it’s only five games in. Lastly I want to talk about the forwards. I really like our forward group and hope guys like Bertuzzi and Domi return after this season because even thought they are on a slow start, they will bounce back so Im not worried at all. It’s just there are games where the forwards are still doing the same thing as last season, not forechecking enough, being lazy in the defensive zone when they should be in the corners battling for pucks. Like if they can trade like Nick Robertson and getting a forward to help us out even more, then I’m all for it. Im not worried but these are things to think about.
1.) 24 Oct 2023 16:56:11
Can you tell me who is available, as a true number one goalie? There's maybe 5 consistent goalies that are always in Vezina contention. After that, it's a toss up every year.
What about Mathews' play is concerning you? Lol.
2.) 25 Oct 2023 12:48:43
@Adam. You start by saying it's only 5 games but hings are very concerning. Such as saying you are a little worried and very concerned especially about players like Bertuzzi and Domi (among others) and then say Bertuzzi and Domi will bounce back and you aren't worried at all and you hope they re-sign. How can it be both?
How have Matthews, Knies and Gregor been struggling?
If Samsonov keeps struggling, which team will give you their legitimate #1 goalie in return for Samsonov?
26 Feb 2023 15:08:27
They only trade I have in mind is Jakob Chychrun and maybe someone else like a Lawson Crouse or Nick Bjugstad. If the Toronto Maple Leafs want to go all in this season and go and try to win the Stanley Cup, I think you go for the biggest fish in the market and that’s Jakob Chychrun. Crouse and Bjugstad one of the two players could be the fourth line right wing or third line right wing. Crouse and Bjugstad are the type of players that are playoff type of players that we need to get over that hump. Physical, wins puck battles in the corners, very defensive and being that grittt energy every night. Crouse has always been linked to Toronto in the past and I feel like now is the time to make it happen. Bjugstad is having an underrated season in Arizona. He’s doing well at the face off circle and is like a David Kampf and can really win those defensive draws. This is also a depth player that can make an impact right away. Now for the man of the hour… Jakob Chychrun. He’s everything that’s the Maple Leafs need. He’s offensive, defensive, physical, gritty, sees the game perfectly. And I feel like he’s be a great Jake Muzzin replacement if his career is over. Going the other way is in my opinion is Alex Kerfoot, Rasmus Sandin, Topi.
1.) 26 Feb 2023 17:28:03
What exactly are you offering for those three? I really hope it's at least three firsts, Knies, Topi and maybe more, along with cap dumps. That's the only way they may say yes.
2.) 26 Feb 2023 18:48:05
I don't see how Bjugstad is under the radar. We have been talking about him for awhile. I can't imagine the Leafs are getting Chychrun + Crouse or Bjugstad for Kerfoot, Sandin and Niemela. That's just not happening. It's not even close. imo.

Dumbest thing I think you’ve said.

I love the Montreal trade. The only thing that I would add in that deal is adding Chiarot and taking out Petry.
06 Feb 2022 22:26:06
I think this wouldn’t happen because of how much cap space is going to be taken up but those are really good options but like I said it would love to have them but it’s going to cost a lot of money coming the other way and players that Dubas won’t want to give up.
