Anaheim Ducks receive: Owen Tippet, Noah Cates, Ristolainen (50% retained), 2027 Leafs 1st, 2026 2nd and a 2027 3rd.

Verbeek and Quenneville get some physicality and top6 30 goal potential with Tippet locked in on a reasonable contract for term(especially considering the CAP rising) And a solid 2-3C in N. Cates who's competent defensively, is good on the PK, and can add good scoring depth and flexibility up and down the line-up. And Veteran Ristolainen for cheap as a defensive minded defensemen with size, puck moving ability, and a physical edge, who can plug into The Ducks blue line immediately.
Plus a good Defensive prospect in Andrae and the 2027 1st rounder and other picks to stock the prospect pool and or use as ammunition.
With this The Anaheim Ducks hesitantly move on from a disgruntled McTavish who was seeking a change of scenery and not happy with his utilization, FA additions, making him unsure of his place in The Ducks line-up. Then with McTavish asking for more term and AAV then The Ducks/Verbeek felt comfortable giving him.... Verbeek pulls the trigger.

Philadelphia Flyers receive:
Mason McTavish, Tristan Luneau, 2026 4th, 2027 5th.

Flyers overpay to get a young promising Center like McTavish who fits the timeline, adda size at 1C-2C, and possesses a rare skillet The Flyers desperately need to develop next to Michkov and Martone, AND plays a position of need. Slotting McTavish into the top6 Center role with Zegras and being able to ease Couturier and Dvorak further down the line-up is worth the overpay for Philadelphia. Allowing them to develop Nesbitt and Luchanko correctly. And add RD prospect Tristan Luneau to a blue line in dire need of prospects.
Flyers give up a ransom and will DEF miss Tippet and Cates, but sending out a top6 scoring winger and competent two way Center and banking on the future with two much younger top6 Centers with elite potential are worth the future picks and veteran talent The Flyers lose. Briere continues backing on the future and pays a premium buts adds two Centers to play with Michkov, Martone, Konecny, and Foerster in The Flyers top6.

Curious as to what everyone thinks. Must admit I am A Flyers fan but I'm hoping I held back my bias.

Montreal trades with Calgary
MTL sends : matheson, Newhook and a 3rd round pick
To flames for : Kadri and rasmus Anderson
Flames are real thin on left d so matheson makes sense , Newhook is 10 years younger than Kadri
Habs get the better player for their timeline in Kadri and get a good rhd to play with Hutson

Slavkosky Suzuki Caufield
Demidov Kadri laine
Dach Evans Bolduc
Gallagher veleno Anderson
Kapanen
Beck
Guhle. Dobson
Hutson andersson

Horrible for Calgary.

Agree7 Disagree2

- Kadri is still productive, but he’s 34 now and will be 38 in the final year of his contract. I’m not sure his age is the right fit for the Habs’ core.

- A fairer version of this deal might be:

Matheson
2026 2nd
Mesar (RW Prospect)

Kadri

- CGY would yield better returns trading Anderson and Kadri separately, and good as he is, the Habs don’t need Anderson.

Agree4 Disagree0

30 Jul 2025 03:51:04
Here’s 3 trades that imo would make habs legit this year and future
1 - habs trade with ducks
MTL sends : Newhook, Anderson and a 2026 1st round and 2nd
To Anaheim for : mctavish ( sign him to 8x8)

2- habs trade with Chicago
MTL sends Josh Roy and a 5th round
To chi for : Connor Murphy ( rhd big physical defensive defender, perfect to pair with Hutson )

3- habs trade with Columbus
MTL sends matheson
To Columbus for chinakhov

Slavkosky Suzuki Caufield
Demidov mctavish laine
Chinakhov Dach or Bolduc
Blais or veleno evans Gallagher

Guhle DObson
Hutson Murphy
Xehjaj Carrier
Struble

This would certainly help Montreal. there's just no reason for the other teams to make those trades.

Agree3 Disagree0

30 Jul 2025 13:56:23
Great targets for 1 and 2, and I haven’t seen Chinakhov play so I can’t comment there. (I’m interested in anyone’s thoughts that may have seen the kid play though👍)

I think ANA and CHI would command more of a return than offered. I also tend to think that most teams will be reluctant to trade 2026 Draft Picks since the draft is a deep one. It will still happen, but perhaps not as often as it did in this June’s draft.

Agree1 Disagree1

30 Jul 2025 18:41:17
On 1- throw in farrel and Luke tuch
On 2- throw in a 4th

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Jul 2025 18:43:31
And make the first round on mctavish unprotected

Agree1 Disagree1

30 Jul 2025 19:21:21
Throwing a couple more nickels into the pot, doesn't change anything for the other teams.

Rare Boston Montréal trade
Montréal sends : Newhook
To Boston for zacha
Newhook went to Boston college
Zacha would be great as second line center and could slide in the 3rd c if habs finally get Crosby
Slavkosky Suzuki Caufield

Demidov zacha (Crosby) laine

Gallagher (dach) Dach (zacha) Bolduc

Veleno(Gallagher ) Evans Anderson

Believable1 Unbelievable17

27 Jul 2025 17:14:45
This isn't horrible, however I prefer what Newhook can bring. I think he can be a Swiss Army Knife type player for the Habs.

Agree1 Disagree0

27 Jul 2025 23:50:43
To me Newhook is like Michael grabner, can skate like the wind but his vision and hands don’t match his legs

28 Jul 2025 12:19:07
I can understand your comparison to Grabner.

24 Jul 2025 01:17:32
Habs should shoot their shot at Anaheim, offer sheet mctavish… 5-6 years at 9- 9.3 per
Would only cost a 1st, 2nd and 3rd round
If it works mtl is set for a long time, worst case is ducks matches
Habs then trade prices contract and still have laine , matheson as trade bait maybe Josh Anderson and Newhook too

Believable2 Unbelievable14

24 Jul 2025 12:17:54
I would go via Sign and Trade. Anaheim will more than likely match an offer.

Slaf, Laine and a 1st.

Laine to get Anaheim to the cap.

Agree2 Disagree4

24 Jul 2025 16:26:23
If you made that offer for 5 years, it would cost a 1st, 2nd and 3rd. If you do it over 6 years, it would cost two 1sts a 2nd and a 3rd.

It's always the total value of the contract divided by the years of term. If the term is more than 5 years, you divide the total contract value by 5.

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Jul 2025 22:28:05
I’m sure there is a team that would take Hage as compensation for Laine.

Agree0 Disagree3

25 Jul 2025 03:03:52
Ok 5 yrs 9.3 per … costs 1st,2nd and 3rd I
Im not sure ducks would love to matched ( career high of 22 goals, 52 points ) ducks also have : Leo carlsson, Ryan Stromae, granlund, poehling , gaucher, Roger McQueen , all centers
I believe if they match, it’s because they’re not happy with the compensation.
It’s also a risk for habs 9.3 per for 50-60 points don’t look good but 75 plus would be game changer

Agree0 Disagree1

26 Jul 2025 17:12:54
That Comp would be 2 1sts, 2nd and 3rd.

AAV Range (2024–25)
Compensation Owed
$9,145,457 – $10,973,716
2 First-Round Picks, 1 Second, 1 Third
$10,973,717 and up
4 First-Round Picks.

Agree0 Disagree2

26 Jul 2025 22:47:57
SIDEKICK: ANA has the most cap space in the league. They’ve said they’ll match any offer, and I believe them because there’s no reason not to.

NASHAN: Laine is in his last year. You’re not using an asset like Hage as compensation to trade a one-year contract.

Agree2 Disagree0

26 Jul 2025 22:57:45
Nope..don't want any part of this as a Habs fan

Agree2 Disagree0

26 Jul 2025 23:29:08
has McTavish proven himself enough Toronto $9MM?

Agree0 Disagree0

27 Jul 2025 00:39:18
Nop vbbbvvbb, actually the threshold for 1 1st ,1 2nd, 1 3rd is 9,360,153 $ per

Agree2 Disagree0

27 Jul 2025 13:52:07
Chickenfoot : I get it , but what does habs really have to lose besides one week or less of waiting to see if ducks match … like I said 9.3 is a lot of dough for career high 52 points !

Agree0 Disagree0

27 Jul 2025 19:16:22
I can tell yah for free if the Habs offer sheet McTavish that Hutson and Demidov are both getting them too when the time comes. And that's not a game you want to play with a team with young cost controlled talent and cap space to burn.

Agree2 Disagree0

27 Jul 2025 23:53:07
If you put that way mg69 , I’ll pass on the offer sheet

Agree3 Disagree0

28 Jul 2025 12:20:34
I 100% agree MG69.

Agree1 Disagree0

12 Aug 2025 18:31:31
Hage isn’t much different from giving a first round pick………. that is what it will cost you to dump Laine as nobody wants that cancer in their locker room.

Agree0 Disagree0

22 Jul 2025 05:03:34
2 trades mtl should do
1 MTL trades with Columbus
Habs get : chinakhov
Blue jackets get : Farrell and a 2nd

2 - MTL trades with Pittsburgh
Habs get : Crosby and malkin (50%retained)
Pens get:1st round (26or27), Newhook, kapanen, Roy,

Believable1 Unbelievable21

22 Jul 2025 16:08:51
Unless both Crosby and Malkin say "We want out and only want to go to the Habs" this trade aint happening. Crosby continues to fight against father time and put up 91 points last year which would have had him as #1 on the Habs and Malkin would have finished 1 point behind Slaf with 11 fewer games played at 5th on the team.

Until the Pens' hands are tied and restricted where they can deal em you are going to have to come back with a much better deal and at this point where the Habs are at they shouldn't entertain that at all.

Agree1 Disagree1

22 Jul 2025 16:41:46
I don't mind the Columbus trade.

22 Jul 2025 17:42:52

J. Robertson & I. Luybushkin for M. Rielly, B. McMann, E. Cowan & 2nd rounder.

Stars sign Olafsson.

Leafs dump Jarnkrok & Kampf then sign Kunin.

Believable3 Unbelievable20

22 Jul 2025 13:41:43
Leafs need to send more.

Agree4 Disagree0

16 Jul 2025 18:06:31
Ana - Zellweger and Strome

Tor - Reilly, Cowan, Peksa and Kampf and 3rd.

Reilly may waive for a good young up and coming team in sunny California.

The Ducks could use a little more experience on the blue line. Kampf could a decent 4th center and PK guy

The Leafs could use an offensive man. Strome could play 3rd line center.

Believable4 Unbelievable20

19 Jul 2025 13:21:31
So I do think Anaheim is a up and coming team, but they need defensive Improvents and I don't think that means Rielly.

Agree5 Disagree1

19 Jul 2025 16:39:06
This trade would only be doable if the Leads would retain $3 mil a year on declining Reilly's contract.

Agree7 Disagree5

19 Jul 2025 21:38:24
I’m taking Rielly at his contract over Provonov, Gavrikov, Darnel Nurse and Keandre Miller in a heartbeat. He has value for sure. Still better then those guys.

Agree1 Disagree9

22 Jul 2025 02:17:19
Rielly is clearly in decline, and he’s not waiving. He and his wife have a new baby.

The leafs have 3 picks left in the upcoming draft, which is going to be a deep draft. Years of mismanagement have left them with holes to fill and no real options to build the current lineup into a winner. It’s time to rebuild again.

Agree2 Disagree0

14 Jul 2025 01:09:55
Mtl: Hutson, Gallagher

Ana:McTavish, Gauthier, 2rd 2026

Believable4 Unbelievable21

14 Jul 2025 03:54:44
There are maybe 10 players in the game id take over Hutson, and those guys aren't them.. im not saying hes a top 10 guy yet, but hes the perfect player for the Canadiens. Without him the players up front aren't nearly as dynamic.. Hes the engine that runs that team and will he for next decade

Agree7 Disagree5

16 Jul 2025 10:27:48
This is a significant misjudgement of talent.

I don’t believe MacTavish gets traded.

But it would be reckless and foolish to trade a talent like Hutson after one season in the NHL for a 2C. No GM in the league would propose such a trade.

Agree3 Disagree2

16 Jul 2025 23:29:39
Cutter>McTavish. Cutter will be a beast.

Agree1 Disagree5

23 Jul 2025 12:50:35
isn't Cutter the guy who whined and had to be traded? no thanks.

Agree2 Disagree0

23 Jul 2025 15:34:01
That's the same Cutter, and I agree, no thanks!

Agree2 Disagree0

13 Jul 2025 17:15:27
VB, been thinking about Toronto adding Karlsson like you said. The only way I take him is if Reilly goes the other way.

Pens - Karlsson (no retention) and Rust

Leafs- Reilly, Cowan, Robertson, Peksa and Jarnkrok.

I read that Jarnkrok actual salary this year is about a million.

Believable1 Unbelievable18

14 Jul 2025 00:02:44
Rielly won’t waive his NMC.

Agree4 Disagree1

15 Jul 2025 17:07:02
Yah I dont see Rielly waving. Maybe to Vancouver to be home or to a top team. But I dont seem him doing so for the Pens and tbh I dont think many teams are in the market for what he brings at the price he is at unfortunately. Can only hope a full year of him and Carlo pays off at this point.

Agree4 Disagree0

16 Jul 2025 11:49:56
I don't think Reilly is as bad as people are making him out to be. it is just his turn to be the whipping boy. personally, Karlsson may be better offensive but never found him to be a stalwart defenseman that actually defends.

Agree2 Disagree2

16 Jul 2025 23:31:04
I would do that from a leafs POV.

Agree1 Disagree2

17 Jul 2025 23:23:23
Reilly tries to play like an offensive man, but lacks the big shot from the point. Only really scores off the rush or coming into the high slot when the Leafs have control of the puck. His passing is meh at best and he lacks the foot speed he use to have to be effectively evasive. It is what it is at this point. He has great games and he has awful ones. He scores some clutch goals and is the cause of some being scored on us as well.

Agree2 Disagree0

19 Jul 2025 21:40:08
@MG69 in his “awful games” he’s still a very good player compared to someone like Holl.

Agree1 Disagree4

19 Jul 2025 22:58:14
Oh absolutely. Holl is awful. He's a double edge sword kinda player who has about the same amount of good games as he does bad ones. It is what it is at this point. Hopefully a solid off-season and full year with Carlo will have him playing good more times than not.

Agree2 Disagree0

22 Jul 2025 10:54:42
EVERYONE is a good player compared to Holl.

Agree3 Disagree0

22 Jul 2025 16:13:35
I sometimes sit with a drink and wonder what could have been had Dubas not protected Holl and instead protected McCann. We'd have a versatile forward still, capable of playing all three forward positions effectively. *Sigh*.

Agree3 Disagree0

26 Jul 2025 22:55:19
That McCann move was absolutely bizarre, and ruined whatever credibility Dubas had left in the eyes of many.

He was a terrible GM. A poor judge of talent, overspent in negotiations, and when his job was on the line he traded a ridiculous amount of assets to keep his job. He should never have been allowed to trade away all those assets in his final year.
