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.

@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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 19:03:08
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.
