Monahan is to old to trade Cowen for.

04 Jan 2025 13:21:48
Lol hrenklin
He’s 30
Oh no
Maybe they can ask Chicago for Bedard?
I mean Cowan is the second coming of Steve shutt
In all you leafian minds???

Touch grass.

04 Jan 2025 16:53:12
Exactly. Because we need more 30 yr olds. We should be looking at actual long term upgrades. Using Cowen to bring in a top 23/ 24yr old center with high upside and preferably a right handed stick is 1 of the things we need.

We also need solid top damn, it's currently Rielly by default and he's been terrible with it, OEL has slowed down in the last 6 weeks. Our glaoied are just weathering a new storm everyday. We're exactly in the same spot we were 1 year from now.

03 Jan 2025 14:38:51
Would you guys take a flyer on Jonathan Toews?
Personally, I would if he was willing to sign a PTO with the Leafs.

03 Jan 2025 16:46:02
For sure. If he's signing league minimum I'd sign him.

I would also make it clear (unlike with Jumbo) he is not going to play every night. He's going to be in and out based on his play.

03 Jan 2025 18:48:36
Definitely take a chance on Toews league minimum with incentives as he would most likely be ready closer to playoffs from what they r saying.

03 Jan 2025 19:01:18
I don't know. We are going to run into cap and having too many players already when everyone is ready to return. He's 36. I think I would pass on him unless he could showcase first. Like a PTO as Tags said.

04 Jan 2025 00:36:40
36 years old!
Hasn’t played in 2 years.
That a tough call with all the superfluous, live, warm bodies Leafs have under contract.
Reaves, Meyers, Dakota Mermis, plus Toews?
For league minimum I suppose anything is worth a try?

04 Jan 2025 22:51:26
Such a tough call if he can be anything close to what he was I say yes but it’s such a guess on what he would be maybe if they move out like a holmberg contract it could work but that can’t be their big deadline move.

05 Jan 2025 00:01:27
Noooooo.

03 Jan 2025 14:08:09
To Van: Morgan Reilly and Easton Cowan

To Tor: JT all heart Miller.

03 Jan 2025 16:46:43
JT Miller has extremely lazy spells away from the puck. He likes to get at teammates for doing exactly what he does. Not a fan at all.

03 Jan 2025 17:50:13
Maybe go for Petterson and have him on a line with Nylander.

Leafs trades: McMann and Dewar

02 Jan 2025 22:11:46
Karlsson?
I thought he retired…. if not, he should.

02 Jan 2025 22:17:48
The Predators trade is a bit ridiculous. You are giving no value for two assets in Reilly and Schenn. Karlsson is declining, so no thanks for the money he makes it just wouldn't work. I like Laughton but McMann is just playing to well, and Dewar kills penalties so I'll pass. Might be able to get him for a 2nd round pick. I wouldn't do the last trade either, patches looks great for so little money.

02 Jan 2025 22:35:12
Salary cap? Nashville says NO.

02 Jan 2025 23:02:38
As a Leaf fan I don’t really want O’Reilly or Schenn but if they are available for the low price of Holmberg and Meyers, a 4th line forward and a #7/ #8 defenseman then go for it!
Just can’t see Nashville ever agreeing to such a deal.

Minten a #1 center?
Niemala a top pairing defenseman?
In what alternative world might that happen.
Minten will hopefully become a good, 3rd line center and Niemala a good 3rd pairing defenseman.
The odds against any more progression than that would be similar to winning the Lottery!

03 Jan 2025 00:01:22
Paconyou a little bit whacko ???.

04 Jan 2025 22:53:13
I think when playoff time comes Benoit will be useful the whistles tend to go away…. Plus he’s not playing with a guy like McCabe this year.

Leafs don’t have a #1 pick in 2025!

Reilly ($7.5), Reaves ($1.35) = $8.85 and a 2nd round pick (for taking Reaves) to Vancouver in return for Boeser ($6.6) and Desharnais ($2)

03 Jan 2025 18:44:35
Sorry 2026. But u need a centre that’s why I went for the gusto with forsberg and schenn has been a proven partner for Reilly.

02 Jan 2025 07:13:46
Leafs- Zibanejad

Rangers- Robertson, Niemela, Jarnkrok, Kamph, 2026 1st

02 Jan 2025 11:21:34
To me the fit isn’t there he’s 31 makes 8.5 for another 4 years he’s also been labeled as a player that can’t take pressure well.

If there’s one guy on that team that I think fits the leafs it’s trochek same term but make 5.6 a lot more manageable which is why it doesn’t make sense for the rangers to move him.

02 Jan 2025 12:29:56
I would take Trocheck first.

02 Jan 2025 22:13:26
I mean his playoff numbers are pretty good. I love his size, and when he's on his game, he's tough to stop. And in Toronto, he wouldn't need to be the 1C which would take a ton of pressure off him. If he's available, I would consider it. Also good insurance if you can't resign Taveras at the right price, who I doubt will be able to replicate the year he's having.

02 Jan 2025 23:11:41
A New York pundit has described Zibanejad’s play as “disinterested “!
Leafs don’t need a player lacking in compete level.
It indicates character issues.
Coupled with his age, cap hit and the 4 more years under contract it seems like a poor fit.

02 Jan 2025 00:42:51
Wow!
Desharnais has not been able to crack the Canucks lineup but you have him penciled in on Leafs top defensive pairing.
That might be praying for miracles!

02 Jan 2025 01:07:54
Luke schenn was not a first line defenceman but he played with Reilly on first line. What you fail to realize as you r looking for a stay at home D to play with Reilly. But I guess you missed the memo.

02 Jan 2025 22:13:35
I like the Chicago trade

No way would I trade for Desharnais though.

03 Jan 2025 12:24:05
@Blowhard24, you do realize that Reilly is no longer on the 1st pairing right? It has been Tanev and McCabe. Reilly is playing where he should have always played. the 2nd paring.

03 Jan 2025 18:46:33
He plays the most minutes out of all the defence so he’s still their first.

01 Jan 2025 18:38:10
Leafs- Byram

Sabers- Robertson,Jarnkrok,2026 1st

02 Jan 2025 11:40:25
I like Byram but he seems like a Reilly type not big a guy that scores much which is the biggest need for the leafs.

02 Jan 2025 00:50:54
Not a fan of trading for the 34 year old Savard.
I wouldn’t want to see the Leafs resign him either as they already have too many 33+ year old players on the team.

McBain and Doan, on the other hand would be great fits on Leafs 3rd line
Robertson - McBain - Doan looks good.
It might take Cowan and Leafs 1st round pick in 2026 to convince Utah to make the move.
I don’t think Cowan alone would do it as Kampf and Timmins as NHL hockey players have minimal value.
Leafs have lots of cap filler to make the dollars worth (Kampf, Jarnkrok, Domi, Reaves)

02 Jan 2025 01:11:39
Why would u give up a first for a 3c and a prospect? I wouldn’t even put Cowan in there for those 2. Minten would be enough.

05 Jan 2025 00:04:45
Savard is not the best option.
