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.
06 May 2026 12:50:40
Leafs - Elias Pettersson, Zeev Buium, 3rd overall
Canucks - 1st overall, 2027 first Colorado, Ben Danford, Morgan Reilly
06 May 2026 16:24:20
I think it is more likely that Vancouver pursues pick 2 from San Jose. At this point they made their bed with Pettersson and maybe another Swede gets him going.
San Jose has enough young forwards, they likely don’t mind taking Verhoeff at 3 if they can get another piece- maybe someone like Debrusk.

Fair points
05 May 2026 23:55:23
Dallas decides they keep Robertson, but then they have to shed salary... Habs swoop in
Montreal sends: Kapanen, 2026 1st
To Dallas for: Roope Hintz
Habs keep Hage to either trade him or have him play wing until he’s ready for center role.
Caufield, Suzuki, Slavkosky
(Hage or …) Hintz. Demidov
Bolduc Newhook Dach
Evan’s Danault Anderson.
07 May 2026 16:23:01
I do really like Hintz... I just feel like he gets injured too often.
08 May 2026 13:27:20
Keep Kapanen. He is a young center. Come on now
Actually we will trade you Jordan Kyrou for Kapanen and Engstrom.
Deal.

EDM - Nurse, Jarry, 2026 2nd
OTT - Foegele, Ulmark
30 Apr 2026 19:16:49
Think Oilers would have to add a first and something else more enticing for anyone to take on Nurse's contract.
Would be great to see an upgrade in net (if Ullmark bounces back).
01 May 2026 01:57:24
I think after the playoffs you’re probably right. But would you say pre playoffs this would be close? Ulmark would’ve probably seen as bad contract.
01 May 2026 03:24:47
It's hard to say. I just think that Nurse's contract is one of those unmovable contracts
I think Bowman really made things worse trading Skinner for Jarry. I don't know how he fixes that mess.
04 May 2026 22:22:07
There's no fit for Nurse in Ottawa. On paper that would mean Ottawa is paying $24.5 million just to the left side of their defense.
25 Apr 2026 03:06:11
Montreal's rebuild was ahead of schedule, and now their Cup window is ahead of schedule. I believe they are there now
Now Pittsburgh hopefully realizes that their season was a one-off and that they need to enter a full rebuild.
Dubas should do right by giving Crosby a shot at the Cup and Sid might choose Habs
MTL sends 2026 or 2027 1st and a prospect (Beck or Engstrom) Gallagher (if Pittsburgh needs it to reach the cap floor)
To Pittsburgh for Crosby 50% retained
Habs would still have about 11 million in cap to add via trade or free agency
26 Apr 2026 14:29:39
So basically Habs get a retained Crosby for peanuts.
28 Apr 2026 00:12:02
Yep! Pittsburgh get a first and Engstrom!! Crosby has a full no move, he’s choosing Habs or Colorado... What did Rangers get for Panarin? Greentree a 3rd and a 4th! So yeah Mtl trading a first and (Beck or Engstrom) is fair!
29 Apr 2026 13:20:26
Mtl i8s tied 2-2 with an ok Lightning team. You have no chance against teams like MIN COL or DAL. You are not in the cup window.
29 Apr 2026 23:39:25
Colt5555 we’ll see.
30 Apr 2026 19:20:17
Colt.. Id say Lightning are better than just ok... Anyway, regardless Habs would give any team right now a good run.. Im not saying they'd win (yet), I dont see a juggernaut team atm, so Habs have a good chance at a Cinderella run as anyone atm.
All this is great experience for the youngest team in the playoffs, regardless of what happens.
24 Apr 2026 00:21:08
3 way trade proposal.
Chicago Trades
Bertuzzi (San Jose)
San Jose Trades
Graff (Toronto)
Toronto Trades
Rielly (Chicago)
Thoughts?
05 May 2026 15:28:46
Reilly's contract and obvious declining play will be a hard sell for the Leafs to trade for a good return. This trade seems fair but will Chicago want Reilly?
22 Apr 2026 03:01:42
These are trades that I think would volt Habs into serious contenders
1- Habs make huge trade with Toronto
MTL sends: Hage, 2026 1st round
To Toronto for: Knies
2- Habs trade with Ducks
MTL sends: Kapanen, 2nd round
To Ducks for McTavish
3- Habs trade with Columbus
MTL sends: Dach, Gallagher, 3rd round, Montembeault
To Columbus for: Olivier
Habs get significantly bigger.
Might have to tweak a bit these offers, but those would be the guys I’m I’m trading for
Caufield Suzuki Knies
Slafkovsky McTavish Demidov
Olivier Newhook Bolduc
Danault Evans Anderson
22 Apr 2026 21:07:26
4- Habs trade with Ottawa
MTL sends: Josh Anderson
To Ottawa for: 3rd round pick 2026
23 Apr 2026 19:23:00
I don't see any of these being accepted
Would love to have Olivier though
I wouldn't trade Hage anywhere.
25 Apr 2026 02:53:35
Yeah Olivier would be massive for Habs, imagine he’d be on Habs for this series vs Tampa.
25 Apr 2026 12:35:10
I like Knies but not at that cost.
26 Apr 2026 01:55:29
What package for Knies then?
07 Apr 2026 04:15:18
To Utah
Brady Tkachuk
To Ottawa
Either Crouse or Hayton
And Tij Iginla
05 Apr 2026 19:10:37
Brady Tkachuk from Ottawa to Florida in exchange for Aaron Ekblad.
06 Apr 2026 14:27:01
lmfao
04 Apr 2026 21:35:02
Tom Wilson
Vs
1st pick MTL
Pickford / Engstrom
Beck
Time will shows that Habs need a player like Wilson to become a contender team.
Washington continue the rebuild that had starter with the Carlson Trade.
06 Apr 2026 14:36:50
Lol thats a no.
03 Apr 2026 22:37:00
Brady Tkatchuk
Vs
Seth Jarvis
1st Pick Dallas
Ottawa will want Tkatchuk out
Canes get the toughness that prevent them from going to the final.
Maybe the 1st is too much, or maybe it is not enough!
04 Apr 2026 11:58:36
Jarvis is just as good as Brady. Adding a 1st is laughable.
04 Apr 2026 16:32:15
I agree, but Tkatchuk style is very rare and will cost a lot, maybe a 1st is too much, but it will take more than Jarvis alone! The 1st is almost a 2nd...
07 Apr 2026 08:57:55
Jarvis is the smell in offensive points essentially. I would argue a better defensive player. Brady is s disturber which to me is the only he is better at. Personally it's even to me.
