Toronto trades Nylander Carlo, Cowan
To
New York Rangers for Lafreniere Cuylle Brandon Schneider, 1st in 2026
Breakdown:
Nylander= Lafreniere 1st 2026
Cowan= Cuylle
Carlo = Schneider
1.) 20 Apr 2026 04:21:21
Rangers would never trade Schneider for Carlo lol thats pretty laughable.
2.) 20 Apr 2026 12:28:36
I agree with Mattyboy. I do not dislike Carlo at all as a person or for that matter a Hockey Player. He is still solid on riding his men off to the boards. But sadly the amount of injuries especially the concussions have taken away what made him so coveted to the Bruins and for many teams who tried in the past to trade for him. He was for all intents what Schneider is now. A big powerful guy that hit with nasty intent not to ride players off into the boards but to deter them for even thinking of coming onto his side of the rink with the puck or they would pay the price.
I wish Carlo the best of health and maybe if he is traded to a team with a earlier version of himself he will be a better fit than he has been here. We have to remember that the high price we paid to get him was not in his control; that was 2 G. M's that set that price.

So if Rielly lifts his no-trade to go to Seattle, say Toronto gets Dunn back.
Also if Toronto could move OEL to Edmonton for 2nd in 2026 and prospect.
Then perhaps Toronto could sign the following UFAS for Defense:
Darren Raddyish
Mario Ferario
Logan Stanley
Jeremy Lauzon
McCabe Raddyish
Ferario Stanley
Dunn Lauzon
Thrun Tanev
Danforth
Villeneuve
Benoit and Myers traded.
1.) 20 Apr 2026 04:22:08
Dunn for Reilly???? We'd have to add Cowan and a first at least.
2.) 20 Apr 2026 12:47:33
I like Vince Dunn but have seen his game tail off the last few years after his one huge year. Why frightenly is similar to Reilly's tail off. They both are about the same size and the salary is a saw off. The whole point of most people trading Reilly is to free up that $7.5 not to replace with a similar age (Dunn is a few years younger) similar style player.
I would offer Reilly to Seattle for Tyson Jugnauth and a 2nd. And if it really came down to it. Just for Jugnauth to save that cap money and get a kid who made the AHL All Star game as a rookie. He might not be Quinn Hughes but if Hughes is a 10 he is in the 7.5 to 8 range which is a upgrade on puck movement from Reilly at this point.
3.) 20 Apr 2026 13:24:32
Matt boy …… wouldn’t trade Cowan straight up for Dunn! Lol. Reilly and Robertson is plenty.
14 Apr 2026 00:16:06
So someone needs to tell Pelley that this foundation of players that he thinks Toronto has, doesn't include Matthews, Nylander or Rielly.
The foundation is Knies, Cowen, Danforth, Villeneuve
Toronto's new President of hockey operations needs to tell Matthews and the Band of bandits that they need to give the new GM a list of at least 3 times that they will consider going too.
By trading these players Toronto can get back good players and prospects.
Also Toronto needs to stop trading away picks and trade players that are not playing up to the level that is expected.
Rielly spends his entire summer out West so send him to Seattle or Vancouver.
Matthews will probably entertain a trade to Utah to play with his buddy, or Anaheim to be back in the sun.
Nylander will probably entertain a trade to New York Rangers or New Jersey Devils.
I can suggest some trades for players but let's see if the new Management group can convince this idiot Pelley first to accept this move.
1.) 14 Apr 2026 00:15:52
Reilly is from B.C. but he and his wife live in Rosedale year round.
2.) 14 Apr 2026 10:07:38
@ParkG I couldn’t agree more!! In every way you’ve taken the words out of my mouth aha, those so-called core players have done zero for long enough. Not sure about Danford or Villeneuve yet, but they look excellent in junior, Knies tho is the real deal, guys a stud, and we build around him, and please for the love of god, Verheoff or Chase Reid, bottom line a true #1 defender as well as, Danford, Cowboy etc; build a real team where you get paid when you produce.
Period!
3.) 14 Apr 2026 15:22:19
Rielly yes. Matthews and Nylander you r whack.
4.) 18 Apr 2026 03:16:01
Finally someone who views the Leafs as I do.
The Core 4 1/2 era is over.
Time to rebuild the team for the future.
Matthews, Nylander and Rielly must go.
Nylander to the Rangers reunites him with his best friend Mika Zibanijad.
Dolan has supposedly instructed Drury to “get a star”.
Would Rangers send their Top 5 pick to the Leafs along with Bradon Schneider and a future 2nd?
Matthews to LA Quinton Byfield, Brandt Clarke and a 1st?
Or Matthews to Utah to join his buddy Keller.
Mammoth have a nice prospect pool.
Reilly to Seattle or Vancouver might work for Ttessa Virtue who likely wears the pants on that family.
The company Virtue works for has its head office in Toronto but their 2nd largest office is in Vancouver.
29 Mar 2026 23:00:09
My prediction of trades that Toronto could make at the draft or in the summer.
Toronto trades Nylander and Carlo
To
New York Rangers for Lafreniere, Cuylle, Brandon Schneider
Toronto trades Matthews
To
Utah for Gabe Smith, Cole Beaudoin, and Maverick Lamoureux
Toronto trades Rielly, Robertson and Myers
To San Jose for Musty, 1st in 2026, 4th in 2026
Toronto trades Domi
To
Vancouver for 4th 2027
Tanev may not play again, still up in air on that.
Toronto could try to sign the following UFAS
Darren Raddyish
Jeremy Lauzon
Jamie Oleksiak
Logan Stanley
Truba
Stenlund
Defense
McCabe. Schneider
OEL Lauzon
Oleksiak Raddyish
Forwards
Lafreniere Beaudoin Cuylle
Knies Tavares Cowan
Joshua Smith Musty
Lorentz Groulx Stenlund
1.) 29 Mar 2026 23:19:01
Not sure your getting a 1st in any trade for Rielly. But I do like that defence!
2.) 30 Mar 2026 08:49:34
The Rangers are rebuilding moving young players for a big contract and a guy who hasn’t played well doesn’t make a ton of sense to me. The Matthews trade is very underwhelming and all the adds to the d just made the Leafs a different version of what they already have big and slow and unable to move the puck efficiently.
23 Mar 2026 00:12:07
So all of these reporters and insiders are all talking about a rebuild compared to a retool.
Let's all just agree that if Toronto trades for players and some picks that this team could be changed and complete next year.
Matthews, Nylander, Domi and Rielly all need to be told that the team is not moving forward with them, after ten years of no playoff success.
They can all provide two to three teams that they would be willing to waive to go to.
If they refuse they will be sat in the press box until they give their list.
So we need a GM with balls and a stern plan to move forward without these players.
Here are some proposed trades for all four players and don't forget all of the other players that need to go,
Carlo, Robertson, Maccelli
Toronto trades Matthews
To
Utah for Gabe Smith, Cole Beaudoin, Maverick Lamoureux
OR
Toronto trades Matthews, Robertson, Carlo
To
Anaheim for Mason McTavish, Pavel Minytukov, Nathan Gaucher, Sam Colangelo, Judd Caulfield
Toronto trades Nylander and Carlo
To
New York Rangers for Lafreniere, Cuylle and Brandon Schneider
Toronto trades Rielly, Cowan, Maccelli
To
Utah for Shane Wright
Toronto trades Domi
To
Columbus for 4th
Try to sign UFAs
Jeremy Lauzon
Anthony Mantha
AJ Grier
Phillip Kurashev
Jamie Oleksiak
Logan Stanley
Just some targets to help with the team.
Team would be faster, stronger and younger.
1.) 22 Mar 2026 23:57:54
Love that Rangers trade. I can't see them being interested.
2.) 23 Mar 2026 10:44:05
The problem with trading Matthews is that you’re trading a number 1 centre and not getting one back. I’m open to moving anyone except for Matthews, Knies and Cowan this offseason. If it looks the same next year, then you commit to a rebuild and move Matthews with 1 year left on his deal.
3.) 23 Mar 2026 11:49:24
Thanks for the post Parkgardens. Apparently you disagree with my earlier proposal but decided not to comment.
So I need half a day to share why I’m not a fan of yours, but for my mental health I’ll do it more succinctly.
As Goat stated, you need a L1C.
There is absolutely no way the Leafs can get a better one than Matthews, so forget trying to trade him for something worthwhile in the UFA market and you certainly have not done it by trade.
None of your Utah players are proven, so you’re throwing darts.
I’ve seen Smith here in Moncton. He’s a bottom6 NHL C with some physicality if and when you get him angry.
Your trade for Wright is simply bad!
Cowan will be better, Maccelli is better right now and Rielly gets you that on his own.
And Kraken doesn't need Rielly; they already have Montour and Dunn as offensive Dmen.
The trade to Anaheim needs to be avoided at all costs.
Simply not nearly enough back. Mintyakov is, I grant you, a strong NHL player today. McTavish is decent but overrated and hardly an answer to the Leafs. Colangelo hasn’t made the Ducks even when they were a poor team. Gaucher will take two years more and Caulfield is a 25yo AHLer.
And you’re giving too much to get the three Ranger players who I do like but ask what have they really done with NYR in their SC quest to think they will do more in Toronto?
Your proposal is a rebuild not a retool so I’m not at all on your page.
Please try again! On a retool please.
4.) 23 Mar 2026 15:57:35
dude the matthews to utah trade is a complete disgrace. the only logical explanation is you just started watching hockey this year or you are a habs fan and you're trolling.
Actually all of these trades are awful not just the Matthews one.
5.) 23 Mar 2026 21:40:25
If I’m trading Matthews to Anaheim I’m getting one of Carlsson, Gauthier, or Sennecke back as part of the package not McTavish.

How dare matthews and nylander tell management on their exit interviews that they want to puck moving defenceman and more bite up front with dogs that will get them the puck!
screw the two of them! these two righteous people can go and let's get some players with heart, grit, passion and the will to win.
because these two prima donnas are only here for the money and fame! get out of town you two.
27 Apr 2026 22:48:31
Sure hope that Pelley does not hire Chayka as any part of the Maple Leafs organization.
Scott White as GM, Matta Sundin as President of Hockey Operations and Gary Roberts as Head Trainer
If not Please Rogers, Fire Pelley!!!!!
1.) 28 Apr 2026 00:36:37
What qualifies Sundin to be president of hockey ops exactly?
I don't get the Chatka hate. The Yotes were such a dumpster fire it was impossible for the guy to do better anyway.
2.) 28 Apr 2026 14:01:01
Just because of the way John Chayka bailed on the Organization breaching his contract and also the illegal private combine that got him suspended from the NHL. Not a good look for a hire in my eyes. To be honest, if they are looking for a Amalytics Genius, they should hire his sister Meghan Chayka.
She is the one that is a lot smarter in regards to that and pretty much fed him all his info. Read up on her. She is one smart and very good looking as well lady.
3.) 28 Apr 2026 21:41:13
@suffering
I had no issue with him leaving that dumpster fire at all. That was beyond horrible for all involved.
Good info on the sister. Just looked her up.
06 Mar 2026 01:04:44
I think MLSE should tell Pelly to hire a President of hockey operations.
Pelly doesn't want to do that position or make those decisions.
Toronto could hire Doug Gilmour or Mark Messier for that position. (Hockey Guys)
Then fire Treliving and all of the coaching staff.
Ryan Jankowski from Seattle would be a great young educated GM or Prinium who is the current Assistant GM.
I think Matthews will ask to be traded this summer and will be traded to Los Angeles or Utah.
1.) 06 Mar 2026 11:46:30
I do agree the entire coaching staff should go. I can honestly see Treliving being promoted to president and Pridham becoming the GM.
26 Feb 2026 03:19:03
If Pelly thinks that this team is good he needs to go back where he came from.
This group of players are not a winning team.
I liked Berube, but he needs to go and so do all the assistant coaches.
Treliving you suck as a GM with no changes to a struggling team all year, keep players around and not trading them because you think they are worth more than what other GM's do.
You are known for not trading during a season but he'll this team is begging for some changes.
Nine years is long enough, rip this tea of misfits to the studs and start over.
Not fair to life long fans to put up with this mismanaged team and ownership group.
I wish fans would stop going to games an really stop supporting these Rih owners until they can hire the right people to run a professional team.
Just my thoughts.
28 Jan 2026 03:55:15
Hell, Buffalo fired their GM why don't we.
He is a useless piece of rubbish and has no idea what he is going.
He is supposed to make the team better not f. king worst.
Treliving your fired and take that coaching staff with you
Pelly do your job and hire a start hockey person for GM.
LET THE NEW GM GET RID OF THESE USELESS BUMS LIKE Rielly, MATTHEWS, NYLANDER, DOMI AND PRETTY MUCH EVERYONE!
START OVER!
13 Apr 2026 23:20:06
I think that Toronto could get better players than McMann and Laughton in Free agency.
Perhaps
Charlie Coyle
Mason Marchmont
AJ Grier
Stenlund
06 Apr 2026 00:26:06
Absolutely right, Dubas panicked on Tavares with the help of Shannahan.
Then the three little money pigs screamed meeeee, meeeee, too.
So Dubas gave them all the money in the bank and the little Winny pigs sang weeeee, weeeeee, weeeeee al. The time for ten years!!!
Matthews Nylander and Rielly can all blow the flask out of town!!!
19 Mar 2026 01:35:49
Sorry columums did not come through probably when sent my bad.
Staying
Tavares
Knies
Lorentz
Groulx
Joshua
Leaving by trade
Matthews
Nylander
Rielly
Robertson
Domi
Maccelli
Now that is changing the DNA, DUMB ASS TRELIVING, DO ALL FANS A FAVOUR AND RESIGN.
18 Mar 2026 00:21:56
Suffering for ever,
Maccelli and Robertson will be sent packing this summer in a package deal by our new GM as Treliving will be be fired after last regular season game.
12 Mar 2026 00:02:51
Not a chance,
Trade Rielly, Robertson, and Cowan
to
Seattle for Shane Wright & a 3rd round pick.
10 Jul 2025 04:00:02
I agree I think Cowan could put up the same numbers as Marner in a year from now.
He has the talent and can hit, Marner was a chicken.
10 Jul 2025 03:55:57
Stop the whining, that little prick Marner is gone and he will not survive in Vegas.
I projection is they dump him in 3yrs because they will see how he disappears come playoffs.
He all about the money! Everything else is just smoke and mirrors.
20 Jun 2025 21:18:45
Bitchy Mitchy is a crying suck hole who rode Matthews coat tails for years and will not reach 100 points with any other team!
HE IS JUST ABOUT THE MONEY NO WILL OR HEART IN THAT LITTLE SPOILED PRICK.
12 May 2025 20:19:47
We are all looking for a better game 5 & 6 or this series is over.
Need to change the lines up
Knies Matthews McMann
Patcherity Tavares Marner
Robertson Holmberg Nylander
Lorentz Laughton Reaves
Domi and Jarnkroc scratch them they both suck!
01 Jun 2023 00:07:11
Good then call Shanny and get rid of Fat Boy Keefe, please.
