LA has 15 forwards signed and only 6 D, so let’s even that out a bit.

To Toronto: Moore, 2028 2nd rd pick.

To LA: Reilly, 3rd pick 2027.

Knies Matthews McKenna
Moore JT Nylander
Sissons Paul Cowan
Duhaime Blueger Roslovic
Lorentz McEwen

Sign Stanley in free agency.

OEL Raddysh
McCabe Tanev
Stanley Andrae
Danford Stetcher


Bob - still weird saying that, really not sure what to expect out of him.
Stolarz
AA

I like that Chakya went after role players because that’s what they needed, but other than Paul he got everyone’s 2nd or 3rd option.

Would have liked to add a heavyweight that will drop the mitts that can play in the everyday lineup. (at least most games). I still don’t think it’s gonna work because Nylander and Matthews are controlling the ship, don’t think they have what it takes to get us to the promised land. Sorry, went in way too long.

04 Jul 2026 01:19:32
You constantly complain and then you make up a line up that makes completely no sense. The cap doesn’t work cause Rielly makes 3.3 more than Moore and LA only has 1.8 in actual cap space.

Plus why would u want Moore? When u r heavy on the left side. Plus you have LW playing RW and vice versa. You have 20+ goal scorer playing on a 4th. And Moore on the second line.

04 Jul 2026 09:26:48
I would love to sign Stanley ?

04 Jul 2026 14:27:12
Well Champ, you come in here guns firing like you know what you’re talking about and you don’t. What’s your definition of a 2nd line player? Is it money value or how many goals they score. Crosby has been turning 3rd line line players into top 6 guys his whole career, it’s about chemistry meatball.

Carolina has a 2nd line of Stankoven, Hall and Blake but if any of these players they would be 3rd line players in your books. Domi on IR, ship out Lorentz and Myers cap works

04 Jul 2026 00:26:48
Toronto Trades

Morgan Reilly
Calle Jarnkrok

Detroit Trades

Simon Edvinsson

04 Jul 2026 00:52:46
Sorry buddy, but not even close for me. Edvinsson has much more upside than Reilly, plus younger and cheaper. But like the target though. Might have to add a Danford or Ethan McKenzie to that deal and not sure if I would.

04 Jul 2026 01:24:03
I know it’s Friday night but can u guys post when u r not already ?. Jarnkrok is a UFA joe u trading him. Rielly not going to wave for Detroit and Wings aren’t trading a 23yr old stud for that and especially not to a division rival. Clarky for u to even entertain this by suggesting to add Danford or McKenzie I’d even more laughable.

04 Jul 2026 02:19:06
Bad just really bad.

03 Jul 2026 22:33:34
Looks like Philly going for it. Just offer sheeted Carlson from the Ducks. $18mx5. Chatter is they want Rielly. I know ppl will say he won’t wave, but his buddy Woll is there now.

To Tor
Seeler $2.7m
To Philly
Rielly $7.5m
Straight up swap. Tor saves $4.8m in cap and term cause Seeler is only signed for 2 more seasons so his contract lines up with the 2yr window.

He’s a good 3rd pairing LD at only $2.7m.

Or if Ducks don’t match the offer sheet they will have a lot of cap space and that will allow them to take on Rielly’s whole contract without asking for retention.
To Tor
Colangelo
2nd 2027(STL)
Noah
To Anaheim
Joshua
Rielly

Sign Stanley 3d.

03 Jul 2026 22:24:11
I don’t know where to start ?

1) Carlson offer sheet (18m X 5yr) is mind blowing!!! In my opinion, just Dumb!

2) Ducks better be taking the 4x unprotected 1st round picks.

3) This is a kind of deal that can easily ruin a franchise for a decade.

04 Jul 2026 00:55:00
Absolutely nutty. Sucks for the Ducks because I don’t think I would give that much money to one player. But he is a good one. I think I’m taking the 4 1sts. Leo made his bed. Let him go have a few tough years in Philly. Him and Martone together could be special.

04 Jul 2026 02:21:52
Yeah I think the Ducks should take the 4 1sts. Otherwise if they match they have only $17m left in cap space. But what will Gauthier want and Mintyukov after seeing the money that is being tossed around. And Ideally they would like to be sitting with some money still there for possible future deals.



If they take the 4 firsts. We could offer Knies and Reilly for:

Roger McQueen, Maxim Masse, Nakita Klepov, Tarin Smith and 2 of those 4 1st round picks.

04 Jul 2026 07:40:01
That Ducks trade looks awfully familiar
Try and be original champ.

04 Jul 2026 10:24:19
And why do you say it sounds familiar?

04 Jul 2026 10:30:04
If I’m a GM in the NHL I’d be absolutely livid w Daniel Brière. This whole offer sheet drama will affect all teams, not just Flyers and Ducks.

He just threw rocks at a beehive and opened a can of worms at the same time.

04 Jul 2026 11:16:08
Knies/Reilly trade ?

I’m definitely listening.

If we ship them out (especially Knies), in my opinion it’s gotta be about tomorrow and not today. Lots of pics and prospects.

And I like the idea of shipping him to a different conference.

Don’t want the trade to come back and bite us.

And you guys gotta know me by now, love the money it’ll free up.

Now that you filled the lineup by overpaying 3rd and 4th liners (and I understand) use that money for long term players you can build around.

04 Jul 2026 12:35:51
AGM has come out publicly and said Knies is going nowhere so put these trades to rest.

04 Jul 2026 12:37:02
He says it sounds familiar cause someone suggested 2 2nd rd picks and Noah for Reilly and Joshua. I tweaked it by adding Colangelo and removing a 2nd.

04 Jul 2026 14:17:52
@Champ

Ya! Saw the AGM on OverDrive too.

Is this the new NHL now ?‍♂️. Are contracts about to get outta control ?‍♂️. If so I’m definitely picking up the phone and calling the Duck (Knies/Reilly).

If this is the new NHL Controllable assets (draft pics and prospects) are more valuable than ever. I’d love the Leafs to get one or even 2 of Flyers unprotected 1st rounders.

03 Jul 2026 17:13:45
Tor: Reilly (2.5 m retained)
Pit: Rakell, 2030 1st (top 5 protected)


Pens probably want one more crack at it and dumbass loved Reilly. Not sure he pays this but they need money going out to make it happen. We get upgraded to probably a good 1st due to such long retention on Reilly.

03 Jul 2026 18:07:14
Pittsburgh will never give all that. Rackell straight up maybe. And Reilly wants to go west.

03 Jul 2026 21:06:07
Chayka has made it clear he’s not retaining on Rielly or adding a sweetener as they call which means a draft pick or prospect attached.

03 Jul 2026 23:03:54
Rielly at best will get the Leafs a 2nd rounder and that’s without retaining money.

Yes he’s a leader and yes he’s played almost 1000 game for the team but that means nothing to other GM’s.

He’s a leader on a losing team that is -41 and hasn’t played passed the 2nd round.

03 Jul 2026 23:31:12
I would normally say I agree with all of you but this year GMs have taken up smoking crack. Never know what one might do.

04 Jul 2026 09:31:30
You have a valid point. ???

03 Jul 2026 12:13:11
Any options just spit balling here again.

Package Reilly with prospects to get a RW?

Columbus
Marchenko

Toronto send
Reilly
Cowan?
Quillan?
Colorado 1st?


What would it take? Marchenko is only 25.

03 Jul 2026 12:37:19
Reilly won’t go there.

03 Jul 2026 12:44:42
A few roadblocks to this trade.

1) I don’t think Reilly will go.

2) Columbus GM (Don Waddle) made a statement yesterday pulling Marchenko off the board.

* Would love to have Marchenko tho. ?

03 Jul 2026 13:02:27
Werenski and Marchenko will be in the trade conversation at the trade deadline again if Columbus has a poor yealeading up to the deadline.

03 Jul 2026 13:16:53
I think there are still options in UFA to consider before giving up that package.

03 Jul 2026 15:51:59
There may be options but not a player like Marchenko options. You are hard up against the cap so u r not signing anyone else unless contracts are sent out first.

If u get rid of Rielly you are getting a LD replacement. Your right side is more than fine with Stetcher, Andrae, Villeneuve and Danford. Don’t need Peeke. Need Stanley or another LD.

03 Jul 2026 17:11:11
I’d take that trade in a heartbeat. Don’t know if the Ducks would bite. This is a perfect example of a trade the Leafs need to look for. It will give them options (money and assets).

*Trades like this will help us today and tomorrow.

?

02 Jul 2026 19:45:56
I really have no clue on values in this prop, but here are a couple players I would love to get.
I doubt LA does this.

To Toronto
Anderson, Mickey $4.13M/ 5yrs
Lafferiere $4.1M/ 2yrs

To LA
Rielly $7.5M/ 4yrs
Joshua $3.25M/ 2yrs
2027 1st (via Colorado)
Holinka ELC

As I said, no clue on the values with this prop.


Anderson and Laferiere would complete the team IMO.

McKenna Matthews Roslovic
Knies Tavares Nylander
Cowan Paul Laferiere
Duhaime Blueger Sissons
Lorentz

Anderson Raddysh
McCabe Tanev
OEL Andrae
Stecher

Thoughts?

02 Jul 2026 20:51:31
I think it seems pretty fair Tags. But I really want to see what Joshua can do this year. Get in for a full training camp and hopefully no injuries, I think he can be very valuable if he gets back to what he was a few years ago. Plus we need the big bodies that will bang.

02 Jul 2026 21:22:17
Joshua is baked.

02 Jul 2026 22:03:49
Laine and Stanley it is there roaster full.

02 Jul 2026 22:28:12
@Tags Bud if L. A. does this sold! Let em have Joshua Anderson and Lafrenier will more then do enough bangn on opposition and ya they’d look great on this roster. Good prop!

02 Jul 2026 22:39:10
If this could happen it would be great. But I don’t see LA giving those guys up

02 Jul 2026 23:02:36
LA would never consider this.

03 Jul 2026 21:16:52
You don’t need Joshua anymore. He’s become expendable and will be traded as will Lorentz. You have way better bangers than him now and also better defensive players them him for your bottom 6. He’s a goner.

02 Jul 2026 20:12:04
Come the NHL trade deadline, if Winnipeg is out, is this an option?

To TOR: D - J. Morrissey

To WNG: C - T. Luc Koblar + 2027 1st (Col) + D - E. Andrae

And

To ANA: D - M. Reilly

To TOR: 2027 2nd + 2028 2nd

New D

Morrissey Raddysh
OEL Stecher
McCabe Tanev
Myers

02 Jul 2026 22:39:40
That package doesn’t get u Morrissey.

02 Jul 2026 18:30:41
Now we’re stuck w only 4x teams to trade w ?‍♂️.

02 Jul 2026 18:37:41
When it comes to Reilly, so wish we traded him pre draft for that extra money.

02 Jul 2026 18:45:26
We were always stuck with that.

02 Jul 2026 19:33:33
I get that, my point was we shoulda dumped him to one of those 4x teams for a middle pick to open up cap space.

For some reason my post came in outta order ?‍♂️.
