3 way trade
To Nashville
Rielly with 3.75 retained
To chicago
Matthew Wood
Noah Chadwick
Pittsburgh 4th
Take on 1.25 retained
To Toronto
Conner Murphy
Reid Shaefer
Minnisota 2nd
Take on 2.5 retain.
05 Jan 2026 13:37:41
Rielly 2.5 retained to LA for Brandt Clark Columbus 2nd rounder and Dallas 3rd rounder
If Seth jones and retaining him for even longer term wise at 2.5 million fetched Chicago a top tier goalie prospect and a 1st rounder surely Rielly retained can do same and imagine Dwight and Rielly together. Something to think about.
05 Jan 2026 13:02:45
Imagine doughty lol.
06 Jan 2026 00:08:12
Morgan Rielly has been on the ice for more goals against per minute than any other player in the league, with 400+ minutes at 5 on 5.
Need I say more?
Rielly has zero value let alone netting Brandt Clarke a 2nd and a 3rd.
06 Jan 2026 05:53:45
True enough. This was more comparing Seth jones trade value after 2.5 million got retained by Chicago as they were able to land a 1st plus a future star goalie in the deal.
jones is the only comparable I found that retained for multiple years (5 years) at this amount
Is Reilly of same value as jones probably not but that’s why jones is a 9.5 player vs Rielly 7.5. But you can’t argue that the retain is the same value in a trade and Rielly for only 5 million is comparable to jones at 7 million over 4-5 years.
Maybe I reached to much on Brandt Clark so instead of him grab vojtech sihar or Liam Greentree instead
Again this was just to actually have a comparable to the 2.5 retain Reilly and leafs would do to what Chicago got for jones.
05 Jan 2026 07:21:22
Van-keifer Sherwood, Tyler Myers
Calg-Rasmussen andersson, Mackenzie weegar,
Blake Coleman
Nyi-Jean Gabriel Pageau, Scott mayfield
Colu- Boone Jenner, Damon severson
Sherwood is a hit machine and Myers is a block machine.
Andersson is a dream all around everything machine while weegar is much the same but to a less extent and Coleman is a pk all around kind of guy
Pageau wins faceoffs and is right handed which leafs need at center and mayfield has declined but still a hit machine tough guy
Jenner is a dream all around tough competitor while severson again is a dream all around dman
Could the leafs get some of these targets what are your thoughts.
05 Jan 2026 22:17:19
No they can’t. Lol.
06 Jan 2026 00:11:15
Vancouver is holding out for a 1st round pick for Sherwood
Calgary would want a 1st round pick for Weegar and another 1st for Andersson.
The rest aren’t worth sacrificing what little youth Leafs have left in the cupboard.
06 Jan 2026 05:39:55
Solid answer water buffalo. I like when others put thought into their answers making debating trades fun.
04 Jan 2026 18:17:50
Would you? And is it fair?
To Tor: Hague, Evangelista
To Nashville: Reilly, Maccelli, Quillan, 3rd pick 2026
I know we need an offensive puck moving D but maybe that waits until the offseason. I know D’angelo may of had a past but he looked good yesterday for a RHD making peanuts.
04 Jan 2026 19:01:17
Little bit much for me I’d take Quillan out of that.
05 Jan 2026 02:13:13
Leave Quillan take out the pick we r bare enough as it is with picks.
05 Jan 2026 03:42:01
In a heartbeat!
Done!
I’m not sure Nashville would be interested in Rielly.
04 Jan 2026 18:40:36
To Tor
Leddy
Dellandrea
1st, 2nd rd 2026
To SJS
Reilly
Stolarz
Or
To Tor
Luneau
Colangelo
1st 2026, 2nd 2027, 4th 2026
To Ana
Reilly
STOLARZ.
05 Jan 2026 03:45:35
Why would SJS give Leafs a 1st and 2nd as well as Leddy and Dellandria?
All their getting back is Rielly, arguably the worst, most overpaid defenseman in the league and Stolarz who always seems to be injured.
Looks like a huge overpay by the Sharks.
05 Jan 2026 22:16:09
I believe put in the right situation Rielly can thrive. Stolarz healthy is better than any goalie SJS or ANA have do do I believe overpay not a chance. If it’s an overpay take dellandrea out but picks need to come back.
04 Jan 2026 03:02:51
To Tor
Mangiapane
To edm
Reilly $2.5mil ret
After tonight’s performance I just read this and I would do it in a heart beat. The longest standing leaf needs to go asap cost us the fans with his 💩defence. Edmonton wants him they can have him.
04 Jan 2026 13:54:41
I’m 💯 ok with trading Rielly but not at $2.5 retained. Mangiapane is having a terrible year too. I think $1 million retained would be lots in this trade scenario.
04 Jan 2026 16:12:23
You need to realize Reilly signed for another 4 seasons at $7.5mil compared to Mangia at 1more year. You will have to retain at least $1.5-2m if not the 2.5. With retention oilers throw in a 2nd rd pick as well 2026.
04 Jan 2026 16:48:23
You can’t trade Rielly unless you’re replacing him immediately. Leafs D is already depleted. McCabe, stetcher, OEL…. then what? Myers, Benoit, Mermis, Benning? Give me a break.
04 Jan 2026 17:11:33
Clarky you have 3 left shot dmen if u get rid of Reilly. OEL, McCabe, Benoit. Thrun and Rifai are lefties as well. So u can definitely get rid of him without replacing him asap.
McCabe Tanev
OEL Carlo
Benoit Stecher
When all healthy I don’t see an issue here.
04 Jan 2026 18:21:16
No to this deal. Reilly has terrible value right now but a struggling Mangiapane? That’s not the answer. We already have too many Mangiapane type players.
04 Jan 2026 18:58:19
Way too much I’d do it for Domi.
04 Jan 2026 20:31:03
Did anyone but me watch the game last night? Reilly single handily cost us the game. He needs to go no matter what we get he’s a bum.
05 Jan 2026 03:48:31
Rielly has 4 more years after this year số a retention of $2.5 million seems excessive.
05 Jan 2026 07:16:58
Reilly retain would also be 4 years. are you willing to see that amount for the next 4 seasons.
05 Jan 2026 08:59:39
Edmonton can only do more money out for money in which leafs could accommodate
Nurse 9.25 (5 left) maniapane 3.6 (2 left)
Rielly 7.5 (4 left) jankrok 2.1 (last year)
12.85 for 9.6
Leafs retain half jankrok 8.55 now
Oilers tetain half Maniapane 11.05 now
Oilers retain 2.25 nurse 8.8 now
But would oilers do nurse retain or not.
05 Jan 2026 12:23:58
Ok I just saw something fun. Seth jones (pretty close comparable to Rielly I’d say) the blackhawks retained 2.5 million for next 5 years and sent him to Florida for a 1st and Spencer knight . So retaining that much really does pay off. So if retaining that much over a long period gets you that kind of deal who know what Rielly with retaining can fetch. now I’m starting to change my mind all together.
03 Jan 2026 20:17:32
Real simple one:
Tor: Domi
Car: Hall
Both make the same money just want to move on
From Domi I was really looking forward to him coming
Here but he is a turnover machine.
04 Jan 2026 01:02:37
Domi looks good beside Mathews. Like he has in the past. I'd rather keep him.
04 Jan 2026 14:01:10
You think domi is a turnover machine wait til you see hall. At least domi sticks up for his teammates.
04 Jan 2026 16:49:22
Love to dump Domi but not for Hall.
05 Jan 2026 09:00:31
Hall and domi both suck defensively but hall has more game changer skills and .5 less at same term I’d take the deal.
02 Jan 2026 20:11:17
Stolarz skating again which is a good sign. Hearing analysts and reporters (Kyperos) say putting hildeby up as trade bait to get a dman but I would rather get rid of STOL who’s signed to a great aav and keep the younger guy. When he comes back and if he plays like he did last year or close to it which was stellar his value will be big for teams looking for upgrades.
To Tor
1st and 2nd 2026
To SJS
Stolarz
Or
To Tor
Sennecke
Luneau
2nd 2027
To Ana
Stolarz
I say forget the dman and grab picks and prospects for him. 2 teams in playoff spots with bad goaltending. Sure they would be willing to pay a good price for STOL with playoff experience and a cup in his resume.
02 Jan 2026 20:30:53
I think your evaluation is a bit tough here the leafs won’t get that big of a return for any of our goalies as goalies don’t tend to hold a lot of trade value.
02 Jan 2026 21:32:25
Are you serious? A goalie with a low GAA and a save percentage above .900 signed to a great aav is not worth that to a team that has bad goaltenders with gaa above 3.00 and a save percentage below .900 I think they would jump especially cause they r deep in picks and prospects. That’s why I chose these 2 teams.
02 Jan 2026 23:57:39
I can’t see any team giving up a return like that for Stolarz.
Goaltenders historically don’t bring big returns and Stolarz isn’t a Shesterkin or Hellebuyck.
Dreaming in technicolor!
03 Jan 2026 01:55:33
Not with injury history and no prof he can stay healthy you show me a trade where a team acquired a goalie for top picks and prospects you might be able to get a 1st for stolarz.
03 Jan 2026 06:18:44
Ok you guys will see. If he comes back healthy and starts playing the way he did last year. Teams like Vegas, ducks SJS and Car will pay. Goaltending has become a big problem for lots of teams contending. Binnigton will fetch a good return and his numbers are atrocious. If u think Grier won’t pay a first and a second when he has multiples of each pick then u guys aren’t reading the market. If Stolarz becomes available a bidding war will ensue at the deadline for him. Last 2 years he’s been lights out and a cup winner. There’s a reason Bennett knocked him out last year in the playoffs, they would have lost the series if he finished the series.
03 Jan 2026 09:30:50
You obviously don't watch hockey we don't have a 1st round or 2nd round pick in 26.
03 Jan 2026 11:48:26
How about noting which 1st and 2nd you are referring to then. Is it SJ's? The highest 1st and 2nd or the lowest?
Personally, if Stolarz is worth that much, I'd rather Wetsch and a 1st, but I don't think SJ would.
03 Jan 2026 13:48:18
Johnny57 San Jose which is the team I suggested would give that up has 2 of each in 2026. So I do watch hockey and do my homework b4 posting. You should do the same. RLF I don’t care if it’s the higher picks they are still a first and 2nd that can be flipped to get what u need or kept to assure u have a first rd pick in the draft this year.
03 Jan 2026 14:39:35
lol Johnny. The leafs would be getting the picks not giving them! Lmao. Who doesn’t watch hockey?
03 Jan 2026 14:53:28
The picks matter in evaluating the trade. For instance, A 12th OA pick is much more valuable than a 29th OA pick. That 12th could have the same value as a late 1st and late 2nd.
05 Jan 2026 11:36:30
Edmonton 1st rounder will be in 20s and Colorado 2nd rounder will be in 60s plus there’s Florida’s 4th rounder in the 100 teens they could easily dangle.
If Stolarz wasn’t signed and was just a ufa at seasons end due to his 1 million bonus and more salary went on the 24-25 season he’s only owed 1.25 fit year so only 650K left that would be worthy of a 2nd and 4th easy. Problem is he signed a 4 year deal that’s very signing bonus heavy. 11 million (4.2,2.9,2,2) that’s due September 28th of every season. Some teams just don’t have that kind of cash laying around in fact san Jose has made many deals to aquire injured or older players but all of them have next to no salary left to owe so grabbing picks for these players was worth it. Next season thst 4.3 owed in September is a killer for half the teams and his 3.5 cap hit is a killer for the rest. Until final year of that new contract arrived when most of the money owed is already paid that’s when teams trying to hit cap floor will come knocking, until then his contract is a trade killer. You’d have to give them picks just to take on his contract. Woll and his contract are the most trade able of the goalies and he may fetch that Edmonton 1st Colorado 2nd and maybe a Florida 4th due to age and contract structure. But then I ask do u feel safe with Stolarz and Hildeby.
05 Jan 2026 16:07:47
The R1&2 order does of course matter.
I’m fine with getting the second pick in each round for Stolarz.
Hildeby has earned the promotion in my view.
Let’s get started on the re-tooling already!
02 Jan 2026 19:17:27
Matthews trade scenario but I don’t think he’s going anywhere. But will happen in offseason.
To Tor
Johnson
Robertson rfa rights
1st 2027
2nd 2026
To Dal
Matthews
Cowan
The way I’m thinking is if Robertson signs a offer sheet which is very possible it will be over the $9.36mil cause he wants more than that, which activates 2 1st rd picks and 2nd and 3rd as comp. Now you’ve turned this trade into 3 1st 2 2nd and a 3rd. Plus u got Johnson. I know u give up Cowan in the deal with Matthews but comp seems well worth it.
03 Jan 2026 00:03:32
Wow!
If Dallas agreed I would hop on that bus.
And get out of town quickly before the Stars changed their minds.
But with one of the top 3 teams in the league already, why would Dallas turn their team inside out and upside down to acquire a questionable superstar (Matthews) who has been barely average for the last year and a half.
03 Jan 2026 06:25:28
So you’re saying that is turning their team inside out? Grabbing a young star and an elite 2 way center? Robertson is gone anyways. If they don’t get past Colorado the team will be looking for changes. If Matthews continues to turn it around like he did last night and finishes the season strong back to his old self you don’t think Dallas pays that price? Remember I’m banking on an offer sheet for Robertson. If it doesn’t come he’s an RFA and u sign him or trade his rights in the off season which will get u a great return.
03 Jan 2026 18:04:46
Your nuts if you think your getting that from Dallas for mathews and Cowan lol.
04 Jan 2026 17:18:54
Jb123 u don’t think Dallas gives up Wyatt and Jason plus picks for Matthews and Cowan? I think you r the one that’s nuts and needs a good head shake. Robertson has one foot out the door already. So getting Cowan with Matthews is huge for the stars. Rantanen on Matthews right side. Like I said b4 it only becomes a huge package for leafs if Robertson signs an offer sheet and we get the compensation for it. 🫵🏻🥴.
02 Jan 2026 18:44:01
Not a huge trade but maybe an impactful one.
Tor: maccelli 3rd
Lak: perry
Perry is 40 I realize that but you want to see a clutch player look at perry he’s done it his whole career. And if the leafs don’t Florida will.
02 Jan 2026 18:02:41
No thanks. Maccelli is playing a lot better lately and showing what he brings offensively to a team in need. Not giving him up and a 3rd for 40yr old wash out.
02 Jan 2026 19:14:09
wtf Blowhard? Really. Guy has played 38 crappy games and has 2 decent ones and you’re all on board with him now eh? What is this softy gonna do in playoffs besides nothing? I’d take Perry at 60 over Maccelli now. Remember it’s not just us, Utah sat him half the season last year for lack of consistency and also having a V*gin*. You guys wanna hold onto to all these pre Madonna’s go for it but stop complaining when they can’t make playoffs or when their too soft to win a playoff round.
02 Jan 2026 20:33:25
@blowhard perry is washed? Is he prime perry? No but there’s a reason why he always in the cup final no he won’t win it for you but he can help get you there.
02 Jan 2026 21:39:39
Straight up then not adding a pick that’s fit damn sure.
03 Jan 2026 06:28:19
It’s not about holding on to these guys but if they start to play better you r better holding on to them for a bit so their stock goes up.
03 Jan 2026 18:05:57
Perry's too old. Not giving up maccelli for that.
05 Jan 2026 16:12:58
Lots of other Maccelli trades should be considered before this one.
Perry is too old! And adding a pick is seriously bad!
02 Jan 2026 13:13:19
tor: robertson, carlo, holinka
stl: faulk (1m retianed)
trying to make a fair trade with minimal assets sucks. but, we turn carlo into the dmen we hoped carlo would be. hes a natural RHD, defensive but offensive at the same time. id prefer getting parayko from st luois, but, hes much more costly.
st luois gets some retool peices that arent our bet, but arent terrible.
02 Jan 2026 15:58:41
Faulk nixed a trade didn't he? Ssid he wouldn't leave if I recall.
If his trade protection expired then maybe, but he isn't high on my list anyway.
02 Jan 2026 17:36:15
What the heck is the trade Faulk hasn’t been great since he left Carolina and you wanna give up Robertson Carlo and holinka that’s insane.
02 Jan 2026 18:04:30
I like to wait and see when Carlo comes back how he plays b4 deciding to get rid of him. Too much for Faulk.
02 Jan 2026 18:31:53
@LL - he currently has a 15 team NTC
@goat + fault is a well rounded dman. He's 10g 10a in 40g. Doesn't have much of an injury history. He's a solid top 4 the that compliments more offensive minded dmen. He's got a great first pass out of the zone. You should watch more teams regularly instead of just when they play the leafs.
02 Jan 2026 20:37:58
I don’t need to watch the blues who haven’t been good since their cup run I’m not saying Faulk is bad he’s ok but he also makes 6.5 I don’t think he’s not the guy I’d be putting a package like that for honestly I think Carlo one for one the blues would take because Carlo is cheaper and younger and offer similar production minus the offence.
02 Jan 2026 21:44:22
Goat, part of the equation is cap balance. To retain 1m for 2 yrs cost holinka. With your logic we'd be getting a draft pick back, but what's Robertson's value, I don't think you'd get anything more than aate 3rd from a team.
02 Jan 2026 22:15:40
3 younger guys for a 33yr old dman is ridiculous. You r thinking like Trev and how to get hosed on another deal.
03 Jan 2026 00:09:19
Seems like a massive overpay for a #4/ #5 defenseman.
Have you forgotten that Leafs gave up Minten and a 1st that may well become a Lottery pick and possibly a top 10 pick to acquire Carlo.
Two wrongs don’t make a right.
03 Jan 2026 01:28:47
Robertson is worth just as much as Chinakov. Who Columbus got a player and a 2nd and a 3rd.
03 Jan 2026 02:00:53
@hrenklin honestly I don’t know what Robertsons trade value is considering what dubas just paid for chinikov also idk how much you follow prospects but holinka looks like he’s gonna be a decent player he’s had back to back stellar years in the whl he’s got size and skill I’d hang onto him personally.
03 Jan 2026 13:45:12
6'1 Right handed, I totally see wanting to kedep him, hes performinc decently in the WHL. 6th in league scoring, which is best as hes considered an over ager. the long term I dont see th eleafs using him in their line up. as wingers are easier to sign, with a couple of exceptional ones possibly hitting the market on july 1st (I think laine for 3RW around 3m aav is an idea like kessel to pitts) .
05 Jan 2026 12:13:36
If you hated losing minten due to his potential and decent size well holinka is a whole new level. It took him 1 season to get use to North America but now he looks like a stud. He protects the puck so well and is a shifty quick skater and top tier passer and is developing an array of shots including a good power play clapper to his arsenal. he got drafted and get this because of his defensive IQ with so so offensive skills projected as a third line center as he is great in the circle and is right handed. Now he’s developed into one of the best 2 way jrs. Could one day be a solid 2C. Don’t trade this guy. Him and dman Danford to me are untouchable while valis and dmen Chadwick and smith are solid prospects perfect to put in trades. Just keep holinka and danford as leafs please.
