1.) 05 Oct 2026 19:39:37
Sorry, 2027** not 2026.
2.) 06 Oct 2026 07:48:15
If you were a fan of the Red Wings would you be ok with this trade…? If the Leafs are getting Edvisson the package looks like a 1st good young prospect and probably a roster player most likely a dman.
3.) 06 Oct 2026 10:19:34
Van is on Rielly's NTC. And Rielly (and the Leafs defense in general) haven't been bad, really. We've just been snake but offensive. Lots of posts. JT is having some issues keeping pace so far this season and it shows in the shots category. He's also God-awful on the faceoff circle. Rielly's looking in decent offensive form, and the new systems really work with his skating.
4.) 07 Oct 2026 01:10:29
The only package I see working for Edvinsson is:
Col 1st+Cowan
Or if they want s future D-man back it's Col 1st+Danford+Tinus.
Edvinsson is being a bit overrated right now by the media.
He is 6'6, but doesn't hit and isn't overly physical, nor is he offensive. Very good young D and worth a lot, but I'm not sure what I'd give up for him unless I thought he was that last missing piece for a cup run.
5.) 07 Oct 2026 20:28:08
I’d rather call up Danford
6.) 07 Oct 2026 23:29:29
Highly unlikely the Leafs get Edvinsson.
Red Wings want offense and youth.
If the Leafs trade for a d-man, Reilly needs to go the other way.
It won't happen during the season.
03 Oct 2026 21:50:51
Would anyone be interested in doing a 7yr x 8.5M for Simon Edvinsson? Because 5 is lower then 7 we would have to give up 2 1sts, 2nd, 3rd which is a high price but do you guys think its worth it?
For anyone that doesn't know:

1.) 03 Oct 2026 22:54:05
Nope. And they don’t have the picks to do it anyway …. Has to be their own picks.
2.) 03 Oct 2026 23:18:49
Yes they do.
We go into the later drafts (i.e. 2029 and 2030) and what's stopping us from acquiring our own picks back?
What would you give up for him in a trade?
Joshua and/or Domi for cap reasons, but what picks? And what number would you resign him at?
3.) 04 Oct 2026 15:04:55
It’s only 1st rd pick not 2 if u offer $8.5m. And Wings match that easily so not going to work.
4.) 05 Oct 2026 12:26:24
As mentioned - it is 2 firsts when it is 8.5x7 because you take the total contract (59.5M) and divide it by 5 not 7 because 5 is lower and then you get 11.9M which does equal two firsts, second, third but if you believe that Detroit will match than it doesn't matter.

Morgan Rielly
To the Pittsburgh Penguins For
2027 4th Round Draft Pick
Dakota Joshua to the Ottawa Senators For
Stephan Halliday
Sign Logan Stanley 5x5M
1.) 16 Aug 2026 23:54:30
Way too much money for Stanley. He’ll be a PTO somewhere
2.) 17 Aug 2026 14:18:59
Mo fetches more than 4th rounder.
3.) 17 Aug 2026 15:51:46
Yes…. Way too much money for Stanley. If dealing with Pittsburgh for Mo, I would offer him and a 2nd round pick for either Owen Pickering or Harrison Brunicke. The way Brunicke has blossomed, though he might be tough to get Pittsburgh to bite.

To The Ottawa Senators For
Stephen Halliday
Morgan Rielly
To The Anyone For
2027 2nd Round Draft Pick
+ 7M Cap Space (After getting below the cap) To Absorb McKenna's 3.5M in Bonuses so we don't get charged a bonus overage next year
After that buffer for McKenna's Bonuses we are down to 3.5M that we can add at the Trade Deadline or take on a bad contract for a high pick
Roster Looks Good To Me
McKenna Matthews Knies
Cowan Tavares Nyalnder
Paul Sissons Roslovic
Lorentz Blueger Duhaime
OEL Raddysh
McCabe Tanev
Andrea Stetcher
Bobrovsky Stolarz/AA
1.) 29 Jul 2026 18:17:30
At this point I believe if anyone offered a 2nd for Mo Chayka would have taken it already.
2.) 29 Jul 2026 20:36:20
Couldn’t be more wrong LeafsLife.
3.) 30 Jul 2026 01:15:22
That's a solid, thoughtful and insightful comment. But, do you are to elaborate as to why?
I know it's asking a lot as you already went into a lot of detail, but I'm just curious.
4.) 30 Jul 2026 01:37:57
@Champ
When it comes to trades…
What’s Morgan Rielly’s value? (Stop knocking people until you answer this simple question).
What’s Matthew Knies’s value? (If he gets traded).
I personally feel you over value both, especially when it come to maximizing Knies return and respecting Rielly’s tenure.
Rielly, the class act he is, doesn’t want to leave, doesn’t have to leave and still gives the Leafs a list of 4x teams. In my opinion, Chayka and @Champ over played there hand.
Zero respect for what he’s done for the team both on and off the ice.
Me personally, at this point, how do the Leafs save face?
Also @Champ, I believe the Leafs will trade Knies, just a gut feeling. What kind of return are you expecting? What teams would you target? Are you building a cup contender today? Or tomorrow?
Simple question dude ?♂️
Again, please stop insulting people. The whole idea is to challenge each other. I just challenged you, waiting for your “full” response.
5.) 30 Jul 2026 02:17:04
@Champ
You telling me a 2nd isn’t good enough? Are you considering the cap relief? Are you considering the respect the Leafs owe Rielly? Do you even follow the Leafs?
?????
6.) 30 Jul 2026 11:50:06
Second is ok for Rielly. Cap relief is the main goal there. I’m not trading Knies as you’d be looking for someone just like him as soon as you do. And given the way salaries are going, he’s a bargain.
7.) 30 Jul 2026 12:15:03
Ya, that contract is looking better by the day.
Crazy the money be’n tossed around.
I’m for and against trading him. I see both sides of the argument.
Trying to keep an open mind.
8.) 31 Jul 2026 16:34:18
Chayka has already tried to get a second-round pick and a prospect for Rielly, but there hasn't been much interest. Anyone who's around the rinks every day and has some connections with scouts has probably heard the same thing.
A Rielly-for-Ryan Lindgren trade would make the most sense.
I think the current team is better and more exciting than before. Now they just need to find another team for Rielly.
McKenna has put on some weight, and he's handled the pressure in Toronto really well. He's a smart kid and has looked very impressive. His puck-handling skills are so natural that I think he'll surprise a lot of fans with his talent and hockey IQ. Of course, many people already know how good he is, but from what I've seen, he's been outstanding.
9.) 01 Aug 2026 01:50:37
Where have you been watching him?
10.) 01 Aug 2026 22:41:49
I won't ever become an NHL scout. When I was younger, I worked in Russia as a scout's assistant for a Russian NHL scout, mainly as an interpreter, so I got to know the scouting world and made a lot of connections.
Because of a mistake I made in the past (a criminal conviction), I wouldn't be allowed to work in that kind of role anymore, not even as an assistant.
I still have scouting data from about 30 years ago, so I've got plenty of experience.
These days, I write player reports and scouting opinions just for my own enjoyment.
So, if you're really Suffer67 and you're part of the staff, you've probably seen me hundreds of times.
Next time (first Leafs game), wear a yellow beanie and turn the logo to the side. If I spot you, I'll come over and say hello. We can have a calm chat.
11.) 01 Aug 2026 23:46:52
I can fathom a world in which I will ever wear a Yellow Beanie! I didn't ask your history. I merely asked where you saw McKenna working out to assess the things that you did, regarding weight and that he looked impressive?
12.) 01 Aug 2026 23:51:24
Can't fathom, I mean. We call them Toques in Canada and yellow is kind of not my colour.
13.) 01 Aug 2026 23:59:25
To be honest. The more I have re-read your post and you saying you can't work in that area of hockey and saying you have criminal convictions and you are asking me to wear something if I am at a game that you can identify me, I find it quite disturbing. Might be an overreaction, but seems very, very odd.
14.) 02 Aug 2026 21:23:52
What do you mean where? Sufferingsince1967. At the development camp and with Macklin in Vancouver. And Chicago too.You don't seem to visit the rinks too often. Is there a big difference in how much live hockey we've watched? You can calculate that I've been hitting the rinks weekly for about 29 years, and I've watched over 100 nhl games live per season, plus about 7,000–8,000 NCAA games live, and well over 5, 000 WHL and OHL games. Meanwhile, some "s67" has been watching games from their couch at home, pretending to be a hockey expert. I know every single Russian nhl scout, we Russians all know each other. I'm not going to argue with suffer67. Let's just agree that you are the hockey guru and nobody else is. Does it make you feel better if you get to be the hockey wizard? There you go, have at it.
You write good analysis from time to time, but sometimes it's obvious you're just a basic fan watching games from your couch. Am I wrong? Have you, for example, actually been to 1,000 live NHL games?
Remember everybody Suffer67 is a nhl guru. Ask him he know everything. I'm so happy now because i finally found the real hockey guru.
If there's something about hockey that I don't know, I'll ask you ok?
15.) 03 Aug 2026 00:10:22
Have you exaggerated how many games you have been to?
I might just be an average guy but.... I am an average guy who is good at Math and your numbers just don't add up.
So say we split the difference between your 7,000 and 8,000 NCAA games. That is 7,500 then if we add 500 to your Junior games (You did say well over 5,000) so that is another 5,500 then add your 1,000 NHL games you have said you have been to. Then that adds up to 14,000 Games in 29 years you have seen live. So in 8 months of hockey over 29 years you would have seen 60 games live a month. 2 a day. How is that possible?
You must be independently wealthy and have a time transportation machine to be able to attend all these games let alone the meals and the hotels, and able to cross the border at will with a criminal record.

1.) 02 Jul 2026 17:27:35
Mermis doesn’t count against the cap, so buried in the minors is not bothering anyone. Joshua getting a prospect or a mid rd pick is totally fine. Rielly will get u more than Maxim Masse. I would say at least the 2nd and Colangelo, or a dman in return like Helleson or Mintyukov.
FYI, you r not signing Stanley at that contract. He’ll cost you $3m on a 4-5yr term. With Rielly gone, that is very good value. If u get him, he’s only 28yrs old.

I like the target. I'm not sure his worth. I feel like Joshua would have to go the other way for Cap purposes. Maybe
Joshua

Prospect (Johansson?)
I would love to hear other people's thoughts on this as well!
