I wonder if Anaheim is a good destination for some star players. They have young talent and need vets to usher the new kids in
Tor-Marner, Tavares
Ana- 3rd overall pick
Leafs clear 22 million and get to draft one of the amazing Russians (Hopefully the one drawing comparisons to Hedman). Both might be willing to waive no move if they go together
1.) 10 May 2024 19:40:21
Tavares is going to resign at 5.5m. Marner I do see going to Anaheim with Gibson returning in a larger package deal with picks coming back and salary retention.
2.) 10 May 2024 20:56:32
We probably take Zegras with this as well and what ever kind of salary dump they want to offset the 22 million we send their way.
3.) 10 May 2024 22:00:12
Gibson stinks.
28 Apr 2024 20:30:11
Tor- Marner, Minten
Uta- Keller, crouse, 1 of Vejmelka/Ingram
Resign Domi, Lyubushkin, Liljegren
Let walk bertuzzi, samsonov, klingberg, murray, Brodie, Edmunson, Gio,
Keller-Matthews-Domi
McMann-Tavares-Nylander
Knies-Holmberg-Crouse
Robertson-Kampf-Jarnkrok
Extra Reaves
Reilly-Lyubushkin
Benoit-Liljregren
McCabe-Niemela
Woll
1 Arizona goalie
I don't know how much cap we saved here but it's definately some then we target d-men in free agency to bump Niemela back down the lineup.
Free agent possibilities - Montour, Dumba, Ghost, Hronek, Zadorov, Pesce
1.) 29 Apr 2024 00:09:31
Llyigren can go blow smoke and Domi too!
All defense can go except Benoit and McCabe, Yes, Cry baby Rielly traded!
2.) 30 Apr 2024 02:18:51
Lybushkin is a turnstile. So is Benoit in the playoffs.
05 Dec 2023 06:35:24
Tor- Nylander, prospect, Conditional 1st (if Nylander doesn't resign)
NYI- Dobson
The Islanders have shown interest in Nylander and the Leafs get their #1 D-man.
Tor- Marner
CBJ- Fantilli, 1 of Johnson or Jiricek
Columbus has already expressed interest in Mitch and clearly thought they would be better than they are. Marner helps guys like Gaudreau and Laine be the force they can be. The leafs get younger and cap space.
Tor- I have no idea
Mon- Wifi
Toronto should target Wifi as he is a young player that perfectly fits the mould of the type of player Treiliving wants to bring in.
1.) 05 Dec 2023 13:16:35
I got to ask the question who do you now play with Matthews and Tavares if the leafs were to move both wingers might as well rebuild.
2.) 05 Dec 2023 18:13:26
Wifi is a perfect fit. He's also perfect for what MTL is building though. Not sure why they move him.
3.) 06 Dec 2023 03:00:42
If CBJs trade Fantilli they get another winger (Gaudreau, Marner, Laine) but have traded away their future #1 center.
How is Marner going to help Gaudreau without a high end center?
How is Marner going to help Laine when they are both right wings?
Plus Johnson or Jiricek?
04 Jul 2023 05:28:34
Tor-Nylander (6.9), Hirvonen, 3rd 2025
Car-Pesce (4), Jarvis (900k)
Carolina needs scoring and just added Orlov making Pesce expendable.
Tor-Murray (4.6), Islander 3rd 2024
Phi/Ari/Chi- Future considerations
Sign Samsonov 3 years 3.5
Muzzin LTIR (5.6)
Salary out 17.1
Salary In 8.4
Difference -8.7
I rounded these numbers both up and down but that either solves or comes close to solving the cap for this year, upgrades the defense and doesn't move out important pieces.
Knies-Mathews-Marner
Bertuzzi-Tavares-Jarvis
Jankrok-Kampf-Domi
Reaves-Holmberg-Lafferty
Reilly-Pesce
McCabe-Klingberg
Brodie-Liljgren
Gio
Samsonov
Woll
1.) 05 Jul 2023 20:29:01
Carolina is you best competition to the cup in the East you dont trade with them . PERIOD.
11 Jun 2023 17:28:22
Tor - Nylander, Robertson
Det - Seider
Tor-Matthews
Chi- Bedard
Tor- 1st 2023, Minten
Phi-Konecny
Sign O'Reilly, acciari, samsonov, schenn, toews, kane
Konecny-Tavares-Marner
Knies-O'reilly-Nylander
Kane-Bedard-Acciari
Jarnkrok-Toews-Lafferty
Reilly-Seider
Mccabe-Brodie
Gio-Liljegren
Timmins
Samsonov
Woll
1.) 11 Jun 2023 18:48:37
bedard isn't being traded out of chicago.
2.) 11 Jun 2023 21:32:13
First two have zero chance.
3.) 12 Jun 2023 01:22:26
Matthews simply doesn’t get you Bedard.
He might get Leafs the #2 pick, Adam Fantilli (center, 6’3”, 195 lbs) which is a trade I would make.
I can not see Yzerman trading a young, top pairing defenseman for a right winger.
Nylander for the #9 and #17 picks might be something the wings would consider.
Toews, Kane, O’Reilly, are all well over 30 and not what Leafs need if they are looking to improve.
Acciari and Schenn, though over 30 should be relatively cheap to sign as 4th line, bottom pairing players.

Leafs claim zykov from Edmonton temporary help while Ennis and hymen are out
1.) 29 Dec 2018 03:56:10
Heck ya. Zykov really looks like he has potential. Real shame to see him getting bounced around so much. Leading scorer in the AHL last year, he never really got a chance at NHL level yet. Leafs could do a lot worse than pick him up. I’m surprised Edmonton waived him so soon considering how desperate they need depth and secondary scoring. He’ll likely be reclaimed by Carolina though.
11 Nov 2018 00:57:52
Anaheim isn't doing all that well and might be looking to rebuild sooner than later.
Tor- 2019 1st, Bracco, Gardiner
Ana- Manson
This is an overpayment by the leafs but we get the player that we need.
Then
Ari-Hjarmalsson
Tor- Timashov, Korshkov, 2020 2nd
Don't know Hjarmalsson's value but I feel like that could be close.
1.) 13 Nov 2018 14:06:47
Its not an overpayment because you've really only traded a latr first round pick and Bracco for one of their too D-Man. Gardiner doesn't count because they don't need and won't be able to afford him anyway.
10 Jun 2018 17:18:48
Hymen-matthews-nylander
Marleau-kadri-marner
Brown-free agent-kapanen
Grundstrum-aaltonen-johnsson
Reilly-trade
Dermott-zaitsev
Rosen-hainsey
Andersen
Sparks
Promote the first line of the Marlies to the 4th line and keep the chemistry together.
Promote sparks to backup so we don't lose him for nothing.
Need a center and a defenseman. Main trade bait would be Gardiner and our first. I think we should package those two pieces together for the best defensive defenseman available for that price.
For third line center sign Stastny. Nash would be a good second option. Would be great for Tavares but he would get paid much better elsewhere.
My question to you guys is what would 50 point Gardiner and our 1st bring back on the right side of Reilly
18 May 2018 03:17:03
Tor- 2018 2nd, 2019 2nd
LV- Miller
Tor- Nylander, 25th overall
Mon- 3rd overall, 2nd 2018
Tor- Signs John Carlson, Paul Stasny
Tor- Gardiner, McElhinney
Anyone for highest pick available
Hymen-Matthews-Kapenen
Marleau-Kadri-Marner
Johnsson-Stasny-Brown
Grundstrum-Lindholm-Bracco
Reilly-Carlson
Dermott-Miller
Borgman-Hainsey
Andersen
Sparks
Draft a good winger at 3rd overall that could hopefully fill Marleau's shoes when he leaves.
Both Sparks and Pickard would need to clear waivers to go to the AHL next year so whoever you don't pick as your backup should have his rights traded for another pick.
08 Feb 2018 08:03:57
Does anyone think that the leafs could swing a trade to upgrade at center. In particular Bozak. What do you guys think Bozak and both 2nd round picks would fetch on the market.
23 Jan 2021 09:21:02
Great minds think alike lol.
13 May 2020 00:36:48
That is a terrible trade for toronto.
01 Feb 2020 00:54:45
Hertl is out for the season.
19 Jul 2019 18:28:54
Only problem with Brodie is he is left handed and only signed for this year. I doubt the leafs give up marner for a rental on d.
05 Jul 2019 06:11:12
Sorry meant to say dermott not borgman.
10 May 2024 19:25:07
I honestly think the leafs are waiting on Berube to see if they can pry Rod out of Carolina. If Carolina gets swept for a 2nd straight year in the playoffs he could be available. If it's not Rod I put my money on Berube.
12 Jan 2018 03:29:14
Leafs are at the 50 contract limit and would have to make a trade in order to free up a contract spot to claim him.
