Leafs trade rumours 5

Toronto needs a major shake up ,

Toronto trades Nylander

To

Washington for Allicysev Proteas, Ilya Protas, Spencer Smallman


Toronto trades Domi, Marcelli, Myers

To

San Jose for 4th, 5th, 6th

Toronto trades Matthews and Robertson

To

Utah for Logan Cooley, Nick Schmaltz, 1st, 2nd , and a prospect

22 Dec 2025 12:11:26
Utah not giving up Cooley u can forget that. Guenther and Crouse and a 1st and a 2nd is more like it. I would make that trade in a heart beat.

22 Dec 2025 12:15:38
Nylander brings u more than that. 1st for sure.

22 Dec 2025 13:17:26
I am going to assume you mean the brothers in Washington. Why Smallman? He's a 29 year old career minor leaguer and doesn't save any cap for Wash. Interesting proposal if I have this correct. Except Caps can't fit this into the cap. PLD should be back well before the end of season.
Can't see why SJ does it.
Utah signed Cooley to an 8 year $10M per contract extension starting next season. Maybe Schmaltz, Simashev, Castagna, 2026 1st.

22 Dec 2025 16:24:37
RLF I agree with everything you r saying but the Utah package. Matthews is a 1 centre. Utah will have to give up more than that like I said not Cooley but guenther, peterka has to come back plus another nhl ready player which I want Crouse not scmaltz. Then your 1st and 2nd u send Robertson with Matthews.

22 Dec 2025 16:31:12
I think nylander would wave to go to Washington play under Carbery again. But a 1st rd pick needs to come back.

22 Dec 2025 02:42:39
Who says no top 3 trade candidates for nylander

1:
Ana: 1st 2026 mintyukov McQueen
2:
Sjs: 1st 2026 Musty wetsch
3:
Chi: 1st 2026 Moore rinzel spellecy

No immediate help coming in really but all solid young players

22 Dec 2025 12:44:46
1. Anaheim says no. I think Minty is close to untouchable.
2. San Jose might say yes depending on which 1st you're referring to and does it have any protection if it is SJ's.
3. That's tough. Very close imo. But again, which first and is it protected at all.

22 Dec 2025 00:16:58
MIN
Roy

TOR
2027 1st

Minny needs another centre after trading for Hughes and it seems like more buyers than sellers at the TDL

22 Dec 2025 11:55:21
You can honestly believe that Roy gets a first round draft pick? Third round pick likely. And why trade Roy? Domi, Maccelli, Benoit, Jarnkok, Robertson, McMann, Myers…. take your pick. I’d trade everyone of them before Roy.

22 Dec 2025 12:06:08
Laughton got a first and a prospect. Roy gets you a 1st as a solid third line center. If his play keeps getting better easily a 1st. Looks better on Trev considering he came from the Mitch trade snagging a first.

22 Dec 2025 12:46:50
If you're talking at the TDL, I think this is possible. Of course I would rather keep Roy (and McMann) .

22 Dec 2025 14:49:27
Considering what Laughton got last year, it is possible that Roy gets a 1st, especially since MIN does need depth at centre.

22 Dec 2025 16:28:16
Ckps1976. Agree on keeping him and getting rid of all the others (like McMann) but trade line he’s a 1st rd pick for sure for any contender needing centre depth.

Tank for McKenna

21 Dec 2025 22:48:13
I don’t mined the trades. I think Leafs need to get one 1st round pick in either a Mathews or Nylander trade if not one in each.

22 Dec 2025 04:37:38
Your package for Matthews and woll is a complete joke.

22 Dec 2025 04:45:00
Rielly is worth a 1st if nothing rise coming back but picks.

22 Dec 2025 11:05:08
@blowhard the way Reilly plays he’s not worth a 1st not saying a team won’t pay that but I don’t think many teams would pay that much especially because he makes so much for so much longer.

22 Dec 2025 12:08:13
Teams looking for an offensive dman will definitely pay a first. Might have to retain on him a bit like a 1-1.5m but that would guarantee a first.

22 Dec 2025 14:52:17
The Kings are going to lose Kopitar after this season, and lost Danault recently. They're not giving up Byfield to add Matthews. It still leaves a major hole in their lineup.

They're also going to lose Doughty in the next year or two, so giving up a young RHD makes no sense for them.

I do believe LA is the team that would be most interested in Matthews, but they'd be interested because they're looking to contend in the next year or two, and therefore aren't going to be giving up valuable roster players.

You'll get a decent haul of picks and prospects, especially if you retain salary for Matthews.

21 Dec 2025 19:37:36
This trade is assuming Matthews still holds good value(Hughes like).
And he waives of course

SJ
Matthews $13.25M

Tor
Gaudette $2M(for cap reasons)
Misa ELC
Musty ELC
Chernyshov ELC
Wetsch unsigned.
2026 1st (EDM)

21 Dec 2025 20:43:47
I could see Matthews waiving for San Jose
Hang out with the Marleaus
This trade would require the moron Tredeadthing to do something
Which I don’t believe he is capable of.

22 Dec 2025 04:44:02
That’s more like it RLF.

22 Dec 2025 11:58:19
The way things are in Toronto I could see all of their players with NTC waiving just to get out of town. Tavares excluded. If you’re gonna move Matthews now the time. Not necessarily saying that I would…. But he may waive at this point.

21 Dec 2025 19:03:08
Ok I want it over how bout

Matthews to LA accompanied by N Robertson and to get it done possibly E Cowan.

LA sends Q Byfield B Clarke L Greenetree.

Then

Willy Nylander waives as well as OEL to go to a big problem rising in Anaheim for

Sennecke and Helleson

LA is a shake up like TOR and Leafs Ducks is getting some experience (Ducks) and talent, for rising talent (Leafs). Whatcha think?

21 Dec 2025 20:46:13
Like both of them
I think Matthews and Nicky Bobby is plenty fir the LA package

I can see Willy loving it in Duckville
His kind of place.

21 Dec 2025 22:50:21
I think we OEL though.

Tavares (if he waves)

Get rid of your core 4. Stock the shelves with picks, prospects and some roster players on expiring contracts. Start from scratch through the draft and FA in 2026 and for years to come. You get rid of GM and coaching staff as well cause you don't want Trev guiding this. You promote Pridham or you go get Hunter. Bring in a real coaching staff cause they r just as much to blame for this as the players it's a combined mess. Tavares will wave to go to a legitimate contender. If not he stays and mentors young guys coming in.

21 Dec 2025 12:57:14
Dream on blowhard.

22 Dec 2025 02:28:04
I do t believe they r blowing it up. It will be the coach going bye bye and the GM. But even a dumb ass like Trev won’t let these guys go unless the offer starts with a 1st rd pick. U guys are delusional if u think he’s going to settle for prospects only.

22 Dec 2025 04:41:45
I think you are dreaming thinking u r not getting 1st rd picks for these guys. Guys of way lesser value have gotten 1st rd pics.

21 Dec 2025 01:37:33
tor: rielly

NJ hamilton

1 for 1, its time to really think about a change. we have 2 undeperforming high cap hit players. toronto does this for a berube style offensive defenseman. NJ does this for the 1.5m cap space. hamilton is moved to the second line pp unit so coming to tonrot to play the first would entice him. rielly would get a lower profile match up slotting 2LD behind luke hughes.

21 Dec 2025 10:31:29
Why? We need cap space. For an overrated dman who’s seen his better days behind him at 9.5mil.

21 Dec 2025 12:43:46
Hamilton doesn't want to play here.

NJ doesn't have a reason to make this trade.

Hamilton doesn't fix the real issues with this roster.

This is a video game trade.

20 Dec 2025 23:16:19
Utah
Matthews

Leafs
Iginla
Beaudoin
Lamoureux
Schmaltz for cap
Hayton

Devils
Schmaltz
Benoit
Robertson


Leafs
Nemec

21 Dec 2025 10:39:09
We need picks and roster players. Guenther, Crouse, 1st rd 2nd and 3rd 2026.

21 Dec 2025 12:56:49
Lol
Blowhard.

20 Dec 2025 15:00:50
Buf
Robertson $1.825M

Tor
Malenstyn $1.35M

Both teams need a small shakeup. Buffalo just getting a ne GM, he may want to start to make a move. Robertson ahs the more offensive talent, Malenstyn the more physical and defensive presence.
I still think Laughton should be tried on LW with Matthews and Nylander. Move Knies to play with JT and Cowan. 3rd line Joshua,Roy,McMann. And then a 4th line of Malenstyn,Lorentz,Jarnkrok. Domi sits with Maccelli.

20 Dec 2025 16:30:34
Why are we trading our only player who actually tries.

20 Dec 2025 17:01:30
You mean the guy that has 2 goals/ no assists in his last 15 games with time spent in the top 6. Yes he tries, but it's past time for him to go. He has 12 points in 31 games. I mean it's classic Nick Robertson. 1 assist in his first 7 games. Then he goes on a good run for 10 games and disappears on the score sheet the next 15. He then sulks for a bit if demoted in the lineup. It is almost a given that whatever line Robertson is on, will get hemmed in their own zone at least once a game for a ridiculous amount of time. Let him have a fresh start.

20 Dec 2025 22:58:28
I’d take a 2nd for Robertson and Domi
Please someone take that meatsack off our hands.

22 Dec 2025 12:00:17
Leafs2425…. You’d be lucky to get a second for Robertson. Adding in Domi drops it to a third.

20 Dec 2025 05:33:51
Tor - Matthews
NJ - Nemec, Silayev, Palat, Another cap dump of their choice, 1st 2026

NJ missed on hughes but still has the assets to make a matthews deal work. Toronto rebuilds from the blue line out.

Tor - Nylander, Stolarz
Mon - Fowler, Reinbacher, Beck, Hage, 2026 1st, Laine

Toronto trades stars now for a bunch of prospects and takes Laine to make salary work.

Hopefully leafs can sell off guys like OEL, Mcmann, Reilly and others to tank for the rest of the year to retain their pick which is top 5 protected.

Build around this new young core and hopefully turn things around in 2-3 years

20 Dec 2025 10:47:00
Not gonna dump on the trade I think your getting decent value but I do not this the leafs would have any reason to trade willy in division.

22 Dec 2025 12:01:18
Leafs get screwed in Habs deal. Laine? Really?
