Edmonton gets significantly better, Boston gets significantly worse.

Lindholm hasn’t gotten 50 points with Boston yet. And yes, they’d be selling high on Swayman, while Edmonton is selling low on Jarry, but I feel like Boston can make an average goalie look good. The goal isn’t for Boston to get better after this trade. Also, it's common to see players moved after bad negotiations/hold outs.

I don't believe that Ottawa would do this trade for Tkachuk alone to get Robertson.

13 Jun 2026 17:30:34
Well, if the rumors are true that Brady isn't opposed to being traded. This is the best way to fill the void.

Tkachuk has higher value than Robertson
Agree2Disagree0
14 Jun 2026 17:09:34
While it's common knowledge that RFA Robertson is seeking 12 million and Dallas would off load him in a heartbeat. Brady Tkachuk is not available for trade at this time.

Sorry 96 point winger is more value then 60 point power forward.
Agree0Disagree0
15 Jun 2026 23:09:17
@Colt Contracts play a role. Brady + 4M of cap space is fair face value imo. I still don’t think either side does it.
Agree0Disagree0
16 Jun 2026 13:47:41
No, rather have a 100pt player making 10 mill then a 60 point player making 8 mil.

Y’all said the same thing when Matthew got traded. Guys on good teams put up points (ie Huberdeau).
08 Jun 2026 04:17:00
I don't want to trade McKenna but the Vancouver wants him really bad. McKenna could turn into the next big thing so you convinced me but it's going to cost you dearly if you want him that bad.
TML McKenna
VAN 2026 1st (3) 2026 1st (24) 2027 1st F. Hronek
You have to remember if you want him that bad be prepared to pay.

Hronek and the 3rd plus another pick should be good.
Agree1Disagree0
09 Jun 2026 10:57:46
Do the Leafs even have him? Are they guaranteed to pick him?
Agree2Disagree0
09 Jun 2026 14:35:15
I believe there is too much drama surrounding McKenna and could be a problem in the room when it matters. I would rather go with a guy like Stenberg if I were the Sedins. He is a better 5 vs 5 player and the stats tend to say that.
Agree1Disagree0
09 Jun 2026 19:41:18
I would be happy to trade down to 3 and draft Reid. If you can get Hronek in the trade down scenario, a defense looks like this...
McCabe Hronek
Carlo Tanev
OEL Reid.
I would be good with that. Trade Reilly and Benoit for what you can get. Keep Stecher as a 7 dman. Hopefully get the 24th pick as well and use it in a trade on a good forward.
Agree0Disagree0
15 Jun 2026 09:18:59
Lol, not sure where yo heard te Canucks want him really.
Also, typical Leafer thinking they can get 4 nice assets for 1 of their assets.
Hab fan here who thinks this would be an over pay but interested to hear what Leaf fans think.

Not bad for either side. Personally I’d rather Knies but could see Toronto doing it if they are desperate for dmen.
Agree1Disagree0
01 Jun 2026 14:40:18
STL will trade Kyrou for Kapanen straight up.
Agree0Disagree0
01 Jun 2026 17:07:33
I'm good keeping Knies.
Guhle's durability has a lot to be desired. Kapanen had a pretty good year, but I am unsure if he will be able to duplicate it again. And I just honestly haven't watched enough of Beck to know what is worth is at.
Knies brings physicality, a strong net front presence, and is signed to a pretty gpod contract.
I would rather hold onto that and see what happens with the draft, FA, and with a few of our AHLers needing genuine looks at the NHL level to see where we are at.
28 May 2026 14:13:34
So Blues lose Kyrou and Jiricek for a 3rd.
Lmfao Kyrou is better than Eklund and Jiricek was defenseman of the year in the OHL.... How does this make since for Blues horrible.
Agree0Disagree0
28 May 2026 14:18:36
St Louis gets nothing for a top line right winger. The expected return features at least a 1st and a top prospect.
Agree0Disagree0
29 May 2026 03:39:09
Kyrou got 46 points and has been on the block for years now. Eklund is 4 years younger and 3 million cheaper with potentially similar offense. How is Eklund nothing, he had the better season?
Agree2Disagree0
29 May 2026 13:27:50
Kyrou had a bad year. He has had 3 70+ point seasons prior. So the better player is Kyrou and then you take the Blues #2 prospects for nothing. This is worse then bad. It's just plain dumb
Agree0Disagree0
29 May 2026 23:14:03
Fair enough. But if he has another bad year he’ll be negative value. Also Eklund has had a better start to his career, Don’t know enough about him but he could easily outscore Kyrou again next season.
Agree0Disagree0
01 Jun 2026 14:43:35
4 years of 30+ goals and 70+ points and one bad year he has negative value. Get the f outa here. Also Jirecek was the best OHL dman last year and he is just a throw in Lmfao for 3rd rnd picks.
Get a grip.
Agree0Disagree0
01 Jun 2026 17:12:44
Definitely a down year for Kyrou. Blues likely hold onto him until they get the offer they want for him. See how his knee is doing after his procedure on it.
Agree0Disagree0
02 Jun 2026 01:07:53
I definitely said 2 years. Two years of 45 points making over 8 million, what would you expect for him?
MG69 I don’t think the Blues will give him away. They’d be getting a young top 6 forward on a better contract back.
Agree0Disagree0
02 Jun 2026 13:42:17
Bro you still don't seem to grasp 3 years of 30+ goals, 70 points. Also Jiricek was the best RHD man in the OHL last year. They project him to be like Pietrangelo. Yet he is a throw in for a lesser player in Eklund who makes 2 mil less than a 30 goals scorer. Get an effin grip.
Agree0Disagree0
02 Jun 2026 17:24:03
Eklund is going to be a great player in his own right, there just isn't an urgency yet for the Blues to move Kyrou or Thomas for that matter. They set the asking price high for both of them and likely won't budge off of that price until they have to.
The Blues aren't hard pressed for cap space and can only hope that Kyrou has a rebound year to increase his value.
Agree0Disagree0
02 Jun 2026 22:37:42
Bro you’ve made a false claim in every reply.
Fact: Eklund is 4.5 years younger.
Fact: Eklund makes 2.5M less.
Fact: Eklund had more points this season.
Fact: Eklund has had a better start to his career.
Kyrou has been rumoured to be on the block for years. Not saying he gets moved and not saying he doesn’t bounce back. But currently they have a diminishing asset and this trade there getting a good player back.
Agree1Disagree0
03 Jun 2026 03:02:11
If Eklund is as good as you advertised, why are you suggesting that San Jose would trade him for the corpse of Darnell Nurse, a D prospect, and a 3rd round pick that will be in the 85-96th range?
Agree0Disagree0
03 Jun 2026 08:34:04
He’s also been rumoured to be on the block. Sharks are going to probably draft another high end forward and they need help on D.
Nurse, like Kyrou, had a down year offensively but he usually ranks high in even strength points. He’s been rumoured to be connected to the Sharks.
Agree0Disagree0
03 Jun 2026 13:41:18
Ebs kyrou is not diminishing returns lol. Also the top rhd d prospect in the ohl is not a freaking throw in. Jiricek is not for say and kyrou is most likely being traded for mctavish..
We dont need eklund nobody is taking the trash called nurse.. and edm 3rds dont have value.
Agree2Disagree0
03 Jun 2026 18:27:50
McTavish and Eklund probably have similar values. All that whining for nothing. Eklund probably more.
Nurse is overpaid and his value is a bit of a mystery but after this discussion I learnt he ranks 9th over his career (9 seasons) in even strength points for D.
Agree0Disagree0
03 Jun 2026 21:05:15
Nobody wants Nurse. Eklund is a winger. McTavish is a center.
Once again you have failed to show the value in trading a better player in Kyrou for a lesser in Eklund and then have the Blues best defensive prospect add in for notthing.
Agree1Disagree0
03 Jun 2026 22:29:51
I think McTavish was playing wing after being healthy scratched wasn’t he?
Is McTavish better than Kyrou? I’ll concede the Blues might go in a different direction but still an interesting trade in my opinion.
Now I’m hoping Kyrou has another down year.
Agree0Disagree0
04 Jun 2026 14:08:16
Lol the entire Blues had a down year and then they came back and were on fire. Jiricek will be playing in the NHL next year. Kyrou will be back to normal.
The fact that you hope for another down year shows you know he is the better player.
Agree0Disagree0
04 Jun 2026 18:24:19
"My trade proposal didn't pass the vibe check so I went on an 8-day rant about why it makes sense, just to walk it back on day 8 and admit that maybe this trade proposal isn't going to be realistic."
*3rd Round Pick 2027 was originally traded to Utah for Maccelli.
Thoughts?
Believable0Unbelievable0
23 May 2026 17:07:15
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.
Agree2Disagree0
23 May 2026 20:12:08
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.
Agree3Disagree0
31 May 2026 11:27:33
Why would the Mammoth even consider this deal? How does it make them better now or in the future? Rielly has negative value with that contract. Two top 6 centers and a stud top four defenceman. I guarantee you are not a Mammorh fan if you posted this trade.
Agree1Disagree0
31 May 2026 15:11:02
Matthews will command a haul. It will be at least a piece more than the Quinn Hughes trade.
This might be too much though but it depends on the bidding war.
21 May 2026 10:12:53
Utah would be better off keeping those 2.
Agree4Disagree0
22 May 2026 16:18:17
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.
Agree1Disagree0
09 Jun 2026 11:06:48
Utah passes. Stay with the youth... no need to bring a large contract and even larger ego into your dressing room.
