I think that a healthy Matthews alone would demand that return. However I can't see Matthews wanting to play in Utah so this trade is a no go.

I would rather have Cooley and Sergachev than Matthews in my opinion. Desnoyers could end up being top 6 forward as well. Where Utah is keep all the youth and move forward with them as they have top line players already in the lineup.

Utah would be better off keeping those 2.

Utah wouldn't want to pick up so many costly contracts. Two bottom-six forwards, an aging, in-decline Rielly, and an expensive, often injured backup goalie in Woll.
Without the Leafs including a 2nd round pick as a sweetener, which they can't afford to do, this trade wouldn't happen.

Min: Kaprizov, Gustavsson, Errikson Ek, Middleton
NJ: J Hughes, L Hughes, Markstrom, Glass
Trying to figure out a framework that would make Minny land the Hughes brothers while NJ gets a goalie with more term.

Why does Minny laugh, they upgrade center, and get 3 of the 4 Hughes brothers, so likely Quinn now guaranteed to resign. Maybe even for less than 17m. They get out of the last 3 years of Gustavssons 6.25 AAV contract for 2yr at 6m.

This seems like an interesting and fair trade if all 3 Hughes brothers sign extensions.

This post is based on some stories that I have read and so is influenced on if there is some truth to them.
Toronto / Calgary trade.
Toronto:
1st overall pick 2026
Calgary:
Morgan Frost
Martin Pospisil
Zack Whitecloud
Devan Cooly
Henry Mews / Aydar Suniev
Cole Reschny
2026 6th or the Vegas's pick
Toronto will most likely need one or two people to make the cap work and if is a bad contract that pick would be the Vegas's.
Before you say no way .... Some reporters have said that Gavin McKenna has said in the past that he would like to play for the Calgary Flames as he grew up as a fan, yes that doesn't mean much but in Gavin case with him in the NCAA when he is done there and doesn't sign a contract with the team that drafts him, he will become a free agent.
So if there is truth to the stories is it not best to get something for him then nothing, this is not unheard of for a NCAA to do point in fact Adam Fox did it to Calgary not long ago. Calgary benefit is they get him faster.

The Leafs need many depth pieces but will this return be good enough for the 1st overall pick?
I believe that the Leafs would be better off getting a top line player and a high 1st round pick for their #1 pick.

I wonder if Toronto trades out of top5, does that pick then go to Boston as it is only top5 protected?

No chance the return wouldn’t include the 6th overall pick.

Cap Wise it's a wash, and any player with a NTC/NMC will have to waive it, but it would be the biggest splash in the off season for both teams, with Utah getting the best player with Matthews in this proposal.

Maybe a crazy take but does Utah trade Guenther for Matthews straight up? Even considering an extension, Guenther will be half price and 6 years younger.

This is a potential trade that makes sense for both teams imo if Matthews wants out and approves going to Utah.
Cap-wise the Leafs will actually have to pay 5.750 million more with NRobertson a RFA that still has to be signed.
Who says no?

It's unlikely they would move 2 centers in a Matthews deal. They would probably let Shmaltz go over Cooley. So for a solid prospects Tij would be better for coming back.

Leafs go rebuild.
Matthews, Robertson and Reilly (25% retained)
For
2nd overall, Misa and Chernyshov
Draft McKenna and Reid
McKenna Tavares Nylander
Knies Misa Cowan/Chernyshov
Smith Celebrini Graf
Eklund Matthews Toffoli

If the Leafs decide to rebuild instead of retool or Matthews wants out:
To San Jose:
Auston Matthews, Morgan Reilly
To TML:
Michael Misa, #2 overall 2026, #20 overall 2026
Kickstarts the rebuild for Toronto and gives San Jose superstar center to go with Celebrini as well as some veteran depth for their blue line while they push for the playoffs and to get better moving forward.
