With Vancouver going full rebuild maybe habs could swing for a possible home run

MTL sends : laine, dach, 2026 1st round and both 2026 2nd round, beck and Roy

To Vancouver for: Elias petterson 33% (7.8)
And Kieffer Sherwood

Sherwood Suzuki Caufield
Slafkovsky petterson demidov
Bolduc kapanen Newhook
Gallagher Evans Anderson.

I doubt either team would do this!

Van want picks, and is willing to move on from older players. Laine is a cap dump... which would involve high picks or better prospects.

16 Dec 2025 10:29:28
Bumblebee there were already high draft picks mentioned. byt still, I wonder if all the turmoil in Vancouver where good players left (Miller, Horvat, Hughes leaving) has something to do with Petterson. Montreal passes.

17 Dec 2025 13:50:35
It's possible, but sounds like it could have been a Hughes problem. Apparently after the dallas game, he knew he was traded and ditches the rest of the team, and fly to his brothers house in New Wark. He only had a couple players at his farewell dinner.

Big Z unfollowed on X because he doesn't like quitters.

But who really knows.

Toronto Trades
NRobertson

Vancouver Trades
Garland

Leafs need more on RW and The Canucks need more on LW.


Thoughts ?

16 Dec 2025 04:25:02
Van wants picks.

Source that says Vancouver wants picks for Garland?

21 Dec 2025 02:47:19
They want to be younger AND talented. It seems most toronto fans want to dismiss N Robertson.

I think Van can do better elsewhere

22 Dec 2025 00:17:32
Horrible trade, no comments in favour, yet 7 upvotes?

You look foolish when you obviously upvote your own posts Pinball.

31 Dec 2025 14:37:46
Chickenfoot,
I never ever upvote myself and if I crash and burn I crash and burn.
So you're wrong that I do that.

Nashville Trades
FForsberg

Toronto Trades
Domi
Woll

Preds going nowhere fast again this season get Woll even though injured his ceiling is high, Domi fills in probably on the second line at Centre.
Leafs probably still looking for that Marner replacement and getting FForsberg would certainly help going forward this season.



Thoughts ?

10 Dec 2025 17:32:37
Geez pinball how about Nashville throw in Josi as well. Lol.

11 Dec 2025 18:53:17
Jesus man. The only way this works is on Chel with force trades on. Nashville may be going nowhere fast, but we aren't exactly playing lights out either lol. And just because they aren't playing well doesn't mean they are going to give top players away either.

14 Dec 2025 14:37:40
Toronto needs to get a top notch goaltender, which has been lacking for years now. I would be looking to get that spot locked down first as there is enough scoring on the front end.

22 Dec 2025 00:19:55
Leafs, like NSH, going nowhere fast too. Both need to rebuild and get younger.

09 Dec 2025 15:38:32
CGY trades Anderssen for Owen Power...plus a top prospect from Buffalo

10 Dec 2025 17:33:32
Flames would jump on that in a heartbeat…………. dont think sabres throw in prospect.

03 Dec 2025 22:41:41
I feel Austin Matthews glory days in Toronto are over. Yes, he will be there, but I dont think he totally wants to be . He seems better suited as an LA King . So in off-season.

To LA
Austin Matthews
Morgan Reilly

To Torono
Quentin Byfield
Brandt Clarke
Carter George
2026 1st Rnd
2027 2nd rnd

Leafs fans...would you do this..?

04 Dec 2025 01:35:40
Bro. You’re high on some rubbish I’d love to have right now if you think the leafs are getting all that for that package.

04 Dec 2025 04:59:40
TheDawg.... haha.. I wish I was . But ya, maybe Kings wouldn't do that.

04 Dec 2025 16:01:42
Teams are going to be wary about trading for the often injured Matthews and a declining Reilly. The Leafs won't get as much of a return for them as Leaf fans and media would would believe.

05 Dec 2025 11:39:08
I don't disagree that trading Capt Ego would be a bad thing. but that's alot for LA to give up. no way 3 young players and 2 high draft o8cks. . peel it back again and repost.

05 Dec 2025 19:33:00
Hmm retry hey,, well this is why I shouldn't post Trade proposals hahah.
As much as I dont care for the player , hes still a very valuable commodity.
Any of you guys see a scenario where the Leafs and Kings could make a gold deal here?

07 Dec 2025 13:16:27
SOSA: I can see Matthews in LA, and I can see LA wanting Matthews. I can also foresee Treliving realizing the need to rebuild is now and grab some young players and picks for his star.

The decision-making in some markets is hampered for non-hockey reasons. Some owners meddle (VAN) and some take a long time to reach a consensus. (The leafs and flames fall into this category. )

I think you’ve tapped into something here with proposing a Matthews trade. Whether Treliving can convince the board of the need to trade Matthews to start a rebuild is an open question. Hockey reasons scream YES, but Rogers likes having him in their marketing campaigns too.

Though the return from LA likely to be quite as generous, and Rielly is unlikely to waive his NTC for family reasons, I think you’re on to something that may well happen this summer. 👍.

07 Dec 2025 16:47:00
I think Mathews for Byfield and Clarke would be fair. Remove Rielly and the other pieces.

02 Dec 2025 15:13:06
To PHI

Connor Garland

To Van

2027 1st round pick

Flyers have 2 first round picks, Toronto's and their own.

Garland has played his best hockey under coach Tochette. Toilette knows how to deploy Garland.

Van needs to get younger. They need to rebuild properly.

03 Dec 2025 13:03:29
connor garland is not worth a 1st.

28 Nov 2025 17:29:22
Habs slafkovski-dach-reinbacher-fowler-1st pick 2025- 1st pick 2026

Edm - mcdavid

26 Nov 2025 21:07:07
Toronto sends Matthews, Reilly, Cowan and Danford to the Canucks for Petterson and Hughes. Shake up for both teams without going rebuild.

Reilly might waive to go home.

26 Nov 2025 22:17:07
This kind of kitchen sink trade is always fun, and it’s such a hard year to put trades together, so why not?

In my humble opinion, both teams need to get real and rebuild. The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. Neither team wants to delay the inevitable and waste valuable time.

Matthews looks ridiculous wearing the “C”. He is a great goal scorer when healthy, period. But a “leader” he is not. Meanwhile, Tavares looks like a new man without the C and with his new team-friendly deal.

27 Nov 2025 15:26:48
"The best time to plant a tree was 20 years. "

Good one Chickenfoot. I like that!

Happy US Thanksgiving.

29 Nov 2025 00:59:16
why would Canucks trade one disinterested player for a more expensive one.

03 Dec 2025 15:15:20
🤡🤡🤡🤡👎👎👎.

12 Nov 2025 17:58:46
Columbus trade Del Bel Belluz to Canucks for Kiefer Sherwood.

CBJ get a solid gritty player that has some decent offensive skills and is also a Columbus native.
Canucks get a young decent forward that can help them for now and the future

13 Nov 2025 03:17:59
VAN may well have to do something like this if they get to a point where they feel their season is lost.

But they’re only 2 points out of the last playoff spot in the west, and Sherwood is found money, so I can’t see them being too hasty.

Another thing with VAN is that their owner can’t stop himself from interfering with the running of their team, so he’s unlikely to throw the towel in early.

(The team will never achieve anything with Francesco A. doing what he’s always done. This was supposed to stop with the hiring of Trevor Linden as President, who was supposed to be the go-between between team management and a meddlesome owner. It was a short-term situation when the owner couldn’t live up to the deal, and Linden resigned. )

Habs make a trade to solidify 2nd line
MTL sends: kapanen, newhook, laine ( for cap reason) and a 2026 1st
To buffalo for : Tage Thompson and Alex tuch

1-A
Slafkovski Suzuki Caufield
1-B
Demidov Thompson tuch
3-
Gallagher Dach Bolduc
4-
Veleno Evans Anderson

10 Nov 2025 01:06:09
This is the Montreal version of a Pinball trade.

10 Nov 2025 01:35:54
Costing more than that to get both Tuch and Thompson.

10 Nov 2025 20:24:26
To add to what Memarcus and MG have said, why would MTL gut their depth for yet another right-shooting center?

BUF make be a perennial mess, Thompson and Tuch would command a heck of a lot more than this.

03 Nov 2025 23:32:08
Habs- laine 50% - roy- 1st pick 2026


Stl- brayden schenn

06 Nov 2025 17:06:59
I’m not sure why MTL considers trading a 1st for a 34 year old with 2 goals. He just isn’t the right target for the youngest team in the league.

Laine and Roy are both on expiring deals, and the Habs are accumulating cap space with Laine out, while Roy is in the minors. Neither situation necessitates using a 1st to dump contracts.
