I would prefer Blankenburg to Perbix. but I don’t think I would trade Robertson.
People tend to forget that Robertson missed two (2) years of development with the Marlies due to serious injury.
Robertson is just coming into his own at 24 and should become a consistent 20 goal scorer.

This would be if a retool.

Ana
Carlo $3.485M
Roy $3M

Tor
Strome $5M
Luneau ELC
Gaucher ELC
2026 2nd

Anaheim helps solidify their right side D by adding Carlo who also has one year left on his deal. Roy can slot into 4th line C or a bottom 6 wing position. He also has another year term left which adds value to both players acquired.

Leafs take on Strome and his contract. Maybe coming home will help rejuvenate him. Luneau fills a need on the RD puck moving side. Gaucher is a big, physical defensive minded C/ W that can fill that role long term. He may never reach offensive potential, but very physical and battles hard. Pretty good scraper as well. Leafs also pick up a 2nd round pick.

Also

LA
Rielly $7.5M ($1.5M retained)
Robertson $1.85M

Tor
Moore $4.2M
Greentree ELC

LA needs help offensively. A change of scenery could really help Rielly. At $6M (with retention) he could help in that 2nd pair position moving Edmundson down to the 3rd pair or put Rielly with Doughty and Anderson with Clarke. Robertson will likely add more offense than Moore at a cheaper price.

Leafs take on Moores contract, but get Greentree as the added value to make the deal work as they are retaining on Rielly and Robertson is an upgrade on Moore.

Leafs save $4M in cap space. $25M for next season.
Out - Carlo, Roy, Rielly, Robertson.
In - Strome, Luneau, Gaucher, Moore, Greentree, 2nd

Also based on re-signing McMann and Laughton.

Leafs will need to look for D-men going forward obviously. They will have OEL, McCabe, Luneau, Benoit, Myers, Rafai and possibly Tanev, plus Danford as a good prospect.

Also, neither Strome or Moore have any trade protection, making it easier to move them again if the Leafs wanted to. Strome can be bought out at $1.67M for two years freeing up $3.3M next season, but adding $1.67M the season after.

I’m going to say yes to all these trades.

I do like Gaucher and Luneau a lot, both are very strong skaters with skill and IQ. Gaucher is a beast; if he can further his offensive skills he will be a very solid add.

Greentree is a big power winger that can score but lacks speed; he can keep up but far from a speedster. Like a Taveras but not as strong a puck carrier.

Moore and Strome don’t hurt but I would have liked something with more upside. Yes both could possibly recapture their form and get us other assets so sure.

I also like that the Anaheim R2 is in 2026.

Rielly is a cap dump, your not getting Greentree in any Rielly trade!

03 Feb 2026 20:56:38
Rsears. The idea of Strome and Moore is if Leafs take on their contracts without any retention, Leafs get the larger return as shown. Not really about them being an asset hopefully regaining form.
The no trade protection makes it worthwhile for the Leafs to take them as there are always teams rebuilding that need vets with good size cap hits to reach the cap floor. Leafs should be able to easily move one or both for a mid-late pick in the summer.

Marner4life. So is Moore a cap dump and LA as I said, is hurting for offence. They are aged to win now. For all his warts, Rielly can skate and puts up pretty solid offence. At $6M per, with the cap going up, he is likely worth that.
I hear so much about Greentree being so incredible. This is the same guy that was healthy scratched for team Canada at the WJC.

Not many 19 year old top players get scratched at the WJC. People talk like he is a for sure top line winger or something. He is likely to be a mid 6 winger that still needs time to develop. Guys with his size and strength can dominate in Junior, but not always when playing against men and he doesn't have the wheels to blow past people. He just turned 20 and still in Junior. I like him, but he is not likely to be a star. Top end is probably like a Lawson Crouse.

Okay understand, not a big leap for me.
I’m onboard.

This is a crazy trade idea that I don’t think would happen, but imo wouldn’t be too off . MTL trades with Toronto which would help habs now and in the future while also giving Toronto enough pieces to do a proper rebuild

MTL sends : hage, reinbacher, dach, 26 1st, 27 1st, 26 2nd and 27 2nd
Toronto sends : mathews and knies

Caufield Suzuki knies
Slafkovsky mathews demidov
Bolduc kapanen Newhook
Texier Evans Anderson

Hutson Dobson
Matheson guhle
Engstrom Pickford

Fowler/ dobes
With the cap skyrocketing, bad contracts coming off the book and the core all signed to long term deals, habs wouldn’t have any problem extending demidov and mathews to long term deals

I just feel that demidov/ mathews combo is match made in heaven with slaf as great compliment, not to mention knies is the perfect fit for Suzuki/ caufield.

Toronto trades at the deadline

Toronto trades Stolaraz and McMann

To
Philadelphia for Tyson Forester, Oliver Bonk and a 2nd

Toronto trades Scott Laughton

To

Colorado for Ross Colton and 3rd

Toronto trades Brandon Carlo
To
Edmonton for Andrew Mangipange

Toronto trades Domi and Benoit

To

San Jose for 2nd, 3rd.

03 Feb 2026 22:50:40
Carlo a RHD for Mangiapane?
Seriously?
Mangiapane is a disaster at $3.6 million for another season.
Mangiapane is no more than a cap dump.

Maybe Carlo (or McMann) for Ike Howard and the cap dump Mangiapane.

03 Feb 2026 01:47:48
To Toronto
Mangipane $3.6M
Isaac Howard

To Edmonton
McMann $.675M @ 50% retained

The Leafs get a promising young A- prospect for taking on Mangiapane AAV (cash dump) and giving Edmonton more cap space to make another move.

Edmonton gets the 3rd faster skaternin the NHL who can score and play in their top 6.

Win/ win for both sides IMO.

Thoughts?
