McTavish

None of Domi, Benoit or Jarnkrok have any value whatsoever.
There is absolutely no way Ducks send the Leafs one of their best centers for Leaf’s castoffs.

28 Dec 2025 11:41:25
I’m thinking he’s joking.

29 Dec 2025 14:08:44
But boys……. Does Willie get us Senneche straight up? Or is McTavish more realistic as a centre piece of a larger trade between the two franchises? Thoughts? Also Merry Christmas all the best in 26’ Cheers!

To Tor
Montembault
1st 2026
To Mon
Stolarz (when healthy)

Stolarz stabilizes the Habs net giving Dobes and Fowler more time to progress. We get back a 1st rd and Mont to give us another back up option for Woll and Hildeby if one goes down.

27 Dec 2025 21:22:12
Another blowhard special
Stolarz is done until next season…
When healthy
?.

27 Dec 2025 22:22:59
Montreal sends Leaf’s their 1st round pick for the oft injured Stolarz?
Seriously?

30 Dec 2025 16:07:31
Look at the stats. If Stolarz was truly 100% injured as bad as the day he is why would they not have put him LTIR? ? he’s been out since Nov 11. This is and has been an internal issue in the dressing room with the team and Stolarz plain and simple. If he’s out for the year u think they wouldn’t have LTIR him and used his cap space? You guts can’t be this gullible. It’s leafs not wanting to disclose it’s a locker room issue not a physical one. Stolarz would stabilize the net for Habs and give Mont a fresh start somewhere else. Yes a goalie with his numbers would fetch a 1st rd pick especially if we r taking Mont off their hands in the process.

26 Dec 2025 16:20:22
To Tor
Grzelcyk $1mil
Murphy $4.4
Dickinson $4.25
Rinzel or Dach
2nd 2026 and 2027
To Chi
Benoit $1.35
Carlo $3.49
Maccelli $3.43
Jarnkrok $2.1
Robertson $1.83

Pure hockey trade. All expiring contracts from Chicago. They get 2 younger defensemen still signed for 1more season each at great aav. For Leafs you get rid of Carlo who hasn't fit in and replace him with Murphy who is on expiring deal and the same with Grzelcyk who's an actual plus d man til end of season. Dickinson can play as a center on 4th line and move Laughton to wing maybe second line. You get a couple of 2nds which chi had multiples of. Robertson for Dach or Rinzel.

Knies Matthews Cowan
Laughton Tavares Nylander
Joshua Roy McMann
Lorentz Dick Domi

Rielly Tanev
McCabe Stecher
OEL Murphy
Grzelcyk

Woll
Hildeby

Oh ya and you fire Trev and berube and his ass coaches end of season or b4.

26 Dec 2025 19:15:16
Include Domi too, then you’ve convinced them to take every player the leafs no longer want.

27 Dec 2025 21:24:02
An incredible amount of trash headed to Chicago

Blowhard …. ??.

27 Dec 2025 22:28:14
Benoit, Jarnkrok and Maccelli have NO VALUE whatsoever.
Robertson might be worth a 3rd round pick.
Carlo we don’t know.
He played poorly last year after coming over from Boston and he was playing poorly this year prior to his injury.

The idea of Chicago giving the Leafs Murphy, Dickenson, Dach and a 2nd round pick for players the bottom feeding Leafs don’t want is somewhat ludicrous.

30 Dec 2025 16:18:53
Ok so Chicago is a worse team than the leafs but their players hold more value? Carlo lower aav signed for 1 more season. Murphy higher aav expiring contract 4yrs older having a horrible season. Dickinson expiring contract been injured has 8pts 30yrs old minus player. Jarnkrok same amount of goals lower aav expiring contract plays right or center. Benoit younger similar aav with Grez swap. Maccelli is only 25yrs old and roberston 24yrs old for Rinzel buried in the minors cause they have him behind 3 other r d young d men. 2nd rd picks of which they have lots of. B4 u guys talk do u r homework cause I don’t know how u guys value players worth but its obviously not through stats.

26 Dec 2025 09:55:40
Benoit and Tanev.

26 Dec 2025 09:54:59
Cgy tor trade.

Auston, Roy go flames and tor get Kadri and Coleman+ first or second round pick next summer.

Then Rielly and Thrun go flames too and Rasmus Andersson play with leafs.

Knies Kadri Domi
Maccelli/ Cowan Tavares Nylander
Mcmann Laughton Coleman
Joshua Quillan Lorentz

Mccabe Andersson
OEL Stecher
Benoit.

26 Dec 2025 14:00:48
What's with everyone and Kadri suddenly? He's not a young guy anymore and was run out of Tor for a reason.

26 Dec 2025 14:32:46
Lol 1st or 2nd next season.1st this year unprotected seems more right? Cause kadri is 35 matthews 28.your adding roy too for coleman, there value to me is similar. your trade makes leafs worse specially for future.

26 Dec 2025 16:39:19
Leafs get screwed on the Matthews deal… badly. And he’s not gonna waive to go there. Flames pass on the Reilly trade.

26 Dec 2025 15:33:40
Don’t drink and post.

26 Dec 2025 18:43:40
It’s hilarious that some clown actually thinks you could get a pile of first-round picks, a couple of A-level prospects, and a legit 1C for Auston right now. His trade value at the moment is more like a 2nd-rounder, a veteran who’s past his prime, and maybe a B-level prospect. That’s the reality check.

26 Dec 2025 18:40:17
You hockey geniuses kjehkjeh should understand by now that Auston doesn’t have much trade value. Not any more than an older center or another overpriced flop. Kadri has been better than a lazy Auston this season. And Rielly? He’s a terrible defender. Sure, he puts up points sometimes, but I wouldn’t call him a top-3 defenseman on the Leafs, and his contract is way too big for what he brings.

Honestly, I hope Toronto finishes dead last and drafts Mackenna or Tynan Lawrence, and then starts next season with a new coach and no Matthews and Domi. Roy isn’t any better than some of the Marlies’ centers anyway, and he’s easy to replace.

This season’s basically over, and once the playoffs start the Leafs won’t be there (anyone bet? ) . A big trade and a proper tank job would be the best thing that could happen. Next season I’ll either watch every single Leafs game like I’ve done for the last 13 years, or I won’t watch a single one and focus on something smarter than Leafs hockey. I stopped after game number 22 this year — that was enough of that garbage.

Blowhard
Kettle black?

27 Dec 2025 22:30:39
Blowhard trashing other people’s proposals is like the pot calling the kettle black.

29 Dec 2025 14:25:59
This is the worst thing I’ve ever seen.

24 Dec 2025 00:23:55
4 point night for nylander, is he safe yet for most of yas...so more 4 point nights and he's back on good terms....guy is by far the best leaf...matthews is turning into a bottom 6 player...he clearly does not wanna be a leaf...im gonna suggest this trade, yes I know according to the majority on here this will be a 34% against the trade, 33% for the trade and the other 33% will say something just gor the f$$ of disagreeing and why idk..I've talk to a friend of and ohl gm..and he thinks it's a fair trade...im not gonna reply back so just think of the proposal in your head that is...don't say why cause I don't wanna go through all the explaing cause if I do you guys don't know how proposals, I the short form think of age money retention and next contract and differences between value.


Leafs trade matthews(3mill)ret
Reilly
4th


To devils for: hischier
Hamilton(1.5)
2nd

U can also add a prospect to each, d prospect to leafs, center prospect to devils.
You don't need reply just think about it..better prospect to leafs.

Matthews can go play keifs system and starting scoring again and hischier can be the two way center berube wants, it's gamble on the d..

New jersey needs goals, leafs need to stop the goals more..if there gonna keep berube..if people don't understand the retainment then idk what to say to ya.

24 Dec 2025 11:49:46
Was the OHL GM you spoke to intoxicated?

24 Dec 2025 12:23:13
Wasn't it only a couple days ago you praised me for finally realizing Leafs players worth because of a Matthews trade I proposed where Leafs got a haul of a return?
Seems like you have done a 360. Or is that a 180. Hmmmm.

27 Dec 2025 22:35:22
Matthews and Rielly for Herchier and Hamilton is a deal i would do as Matthews seems to have little interest in being a Leaf.
But I don’t think New Jersey agrees.
Also, there might be better trades for Matthews out there.

28 Dec 2025 12:14:03
WB49. He has Matthew's retained for $3M. That increases his trade value huge. This is a heavily in favour of NJ trade.

23 Dec 2025 13:54:03
TOR
______________

Greentree / Brzustewicz / '27 unprotected 1st / Cond. '28 1st if LA reaches Conf. finals either this year of next

+++ If LA wants cap retention.

LA
______________

Matthews

---------------------------------

Kopitar is gone after this year, so they're not gutting center depth by giving up Byfield. Doughty is getting older, so they're not parting with Clarke.

23 Dec 2025 16:35:17
@FrensUnited
So, LA not willing to give up center depth, but the Leafs are?
If Matthews is ever traded, you can bet a center return will be part of that deal.

23 Dec 2025 16:39:10
@tags not if they decide to tank for a bit. My biggest thing is we shouldn't trade Matthews unless he's getting us one of our picks back, because making us worse just gives Boston and phili better picks.

23 Dec 2025 17:03:25
@Shanacant
Tanking is not a good option IMO. We're not bad enough to be bottom 5, it would really hurt to give Boston a 6-9 pick.
But even if we do get bottom 5, out next 2 years first round picks are gone. And with a Matthewsless team, we can end up with a bad record and still give Boston & Philly high first round picks.

23 Dec 2025 17:07:58
Shanacant
Sorry, I didn't mean to sent my last post and just re-read your post.
I agree with you in not trading Matthews, but if we do, we have to get a solid return back with players who can help us win now.
So if we trade with LA, the trade would have to include Byfield & Clarke ++. If LA is unwilling, then no trade.

24 Dec 2025 00:38:50
If Byfield and Clarke aren’t the return, this trade would not interest me in the slightest!

You have traded a #1 center and have only a RW and a RHD coming back?
How is that going to work for the Leafs while leaving them with only one, 35 year old top 6 center on the roster?

27 Dec 2025 22:44:28
Don’t want future draft picks that won’t be available for use for two or three years, who will then need another two or three years of development before ever playing a game for the Leafs.

To LA: Matthews (Leafs retain $5M x 2 years)

To Leafs: Byfield ($6.25), Clarke ($863,333) and Greentree (ELC)

Adding Byfield, Clarke and Greentree to Knies, Cowan, Woll and Danford gives the Leafs a good young nucleus for their rebuild.

28 Dec 2025 14:27:47
Matthews with $5M retained would get a big haul. Likely even more than that. At about $8M with retention he's a 30-40 goals scoring 2 way centre with the ability to score 50+. Still in his prime age wise. May have to add a 1st from LA.

29 Dec 2025 14:19:25
I’m just looking at this post now guys my bad cause it’s good, and one I’ve mentioned as one I think Tre should be circling around strongly given LA just seems like they’re missing pieces as well to truly contend. To make the Matthews deal you think retention by Toronto makes this more of a possibility for LA? It’s not a bad idea and again 100% Q Byfield B Clarke and L Greenetree are in the return package. So if the Leafs offer retention which we can afford. How much and what does LA give on top of the players mentioned? How much of a blockbuster can this turn into?

29 Dec 2025 14:23:05
RLF I apologize I see you already answer my question I got to excited I guess haha. Man I’d do that in a heartbeat. I believe Matthews is gone after his contract is up. So, cut ties now even tho he’s off. Idk, I thought he looked not bad last night playing Detroit. Looked faster stronger on the puck and fairly dangerous attacking the net. He keeps it up this makes it easier for us to move him. Funny he starts picking his play up after the trade chatter grows louder. Or is that just me? ;)

22 Dec 2025 18:45:23
Changing the identity:

To Van: Reilly, Robertson

To Tor: Kane (4.5M x2 ext), Sherwood (4.5M X 4 ext)

#2
To Utah: Matthews

To Tor: Durzi, Guenther, 1st, 2nd 2026

#3
To CBJ: Nylander

To Tor: Marchenko, Olivier, 2nd 2026

Knies JT Guenther
McMann Laughton Marchenko
Kane Roy Sherwood
Lorentz Quillan Olivier
Send Cowan down, keep Jarnkrok as a spare and send Maccelli, Domi packing

McCabe Stetcher
Durzi Tanev
Rifai OEL
Benoit.

22 Dec 2025 19:11:58
So are u trading the core to rebuild or retool? Looks like a hot mess Clarky like they r now.

22 Dec 2025 21:43:24
Retool my man. Make our roster look a little more like Bostons. I’d take this roster anyday over what we have now.

22 Dec 2025 21:45:17
I’d send Matthews to Columbus for that.

24 Dec 2025 00:41:00
If a center is not part of the return then Matthews should not be traded.

22 Dec 2025 16:40:45
Would you guys do,

Leafs: Matthews
Phi: leafs first, grebenkin, 2026 1st, Drysdale

Tor: nylander
Bos: leafs first, 2026 1st, minten.


This would allow us to start rebuilding right away, and fix some previous mistakes, let's us be bad now and not worry about giving away high picks.

Feels a little sell low on Matthews, considering it's only a first and Drysdale more than we have up for laughton.

22 Dec 2025 18:13:38
As much as I want to get rid of these two along with Mo. I don’t think the package for Matthews is enough. I wouldn’t want Drysdale on my D core either. I’d love to get Grebyenkin back too. I have no idea what Willys worth is anymore. I just want him off the team so bad. This guy is a cancer for laziness and terrible work ethic. We want to change the identity, it starts with Willy. Send him, his brother and his awful YouTube channel to the States.

22 Dec 2025 19:25:21
Lafrenierre, Schneider and a pic
For Nylander and his brother

Willy has to waive and I think he would to play for the Rangers. He could do live pod casts from down town NYC! ???.

22 Dec 2025 19:51:01
Clarky, I agree, I just don't know what else of value we can get off of phili other than Drysdale.

23 Dec 2025 02:26:03
That Philly trade is terrible lay off the sauce dude.

23 Dec 2025 05:21:43
@ thekid

I need this explained to me, how is a 13.25 million 1st line center who is struggling this year 23 points in 30 games worth more than 2 firsts 1 likely high after this trade, a top 4 d that QBs pp 1 and a good 4th line banger.

24 Dec 2025 00:45:26
Are you trolling us?
Drysdale if brittle, fragile!
The always injured Drysdale was a very poor return for the Flyers in the Cutter Gauthier trade and a player the Leafs want to stay away from.

If Leafs trade Matthews they do not want picks.
They need young players between 19 - 23 years of age.
Not players who will not skate for the Leafs for another two or three years (if ever) .

24 Dec 2025 10:43:34
They want prospects who can play now plus picks. 1st rd picks to be exact.

22 Dec 2025 13:02:35
To Tor
1st 2026
1st 2027
Oleksiak
Eberle
Mcann
Obrien
To Sea
Matthews
Robertson

No tax state means he keeps more of his money for next 2 seasons. We take on expiring contracts other than Mcann. An 18yr old prospect and 2 first rd.

23 Dec 2025 13:41:06
I don't think they give up Oleksiak, McCann or Eberle. Maybe Schwartz for cap reasons. Also don't think Robertson needs to be included in this deal/

O'Brien
Catton
Schwartz
2027 1st
2028 conditional first if SEA makes second round of playoffs
________________

Nylander.

24 Dec 2025 10:47:18
Seattle needs scoring and a real face for the franchise. In comes Matthews. Secondly Robertson younger than all this guys I mentioned except obrien. They are all on expiring contracts except mcann who is always injured it seems. All of them on the other side of 30. Of course they trade them. Salary cap reasons. Go back to sleep.

22 Dec 2025 12:25:47
To Tor
Coronato
Andersson
1st, 3rd 2026
To Cal
Nylander
Carlo

Send Nylander back to where he was born. Resign Andersson. Coronato a right shot forward at 23. Draft picks.

22 Dec 2025 14:48:07
Horribly underwhelming return despite perceived issues with Nylander's compete level and attitude.

The return should be close to what VAN got for Hughes, although not quite as high because he's not a D man.

So, if you are trading Nylander, it's and admission that the season is beyond saving. If the season's beyond saving, having Andersson added for this year is pointless, so why trade for Andersson when you can just sign him after this year?

22 Dec 2025 16:20:03
Underwhelming? You get a 23year old r shot winger at $6.5mil til he’s 27. Andersson willing to resign with leafs gives u a 1a on right side. Plus a 1st and a third. Throwing in the towel cause u trade nylander who has given up on this team and been a total distraction in the dressing room. You r removing a core 4 piece and getting great value plus cap space cause he’s $5mil cheaper. Carlo hasn’t been a great fit but is still a good dman. Calgary gets someone to at least fill in for Anderson at a cheaper aav for this year and next.

23 Dec 2025 13:45:35
While the Flames do need scoring help, they're already committed to getting that skill by getting younger at the same time. I don't think they part with their 1st this year.

And I don't think trading for Andersson makes sense if you can just sign him in the offseason. Nylander would be our hypothetical best trade chip, why insist on using him to acquire something you don't immediately need and can just get for free in the summer?

I also think Carlo as a trade chip on his own could fetch us something decent, so no need to include him in any major deal.

24 Dec 2025 10:51:04
Do u hear yourself. Leafs don’t need a 1a right shot dman? Lol we need exactly that plus 1st rd pick plus a young right winger. If u wait till FA you will be in a bidding war with half the nhl to get his services. Like I said go back to sleep.
