I honestly can’t imagine anyone picking up Reaves for a playoff run. I just don’t see him cracking a playoff roster on contending team.

Agree4 Disagree1

07 Mar 2025 10:46:25
Chicken foot. I tend to agree and only placed him as an extra at first as I too really want better talent than him for even a 4th line.

I really hope Trev is not falling for the rope a dope Carolia bait and waiting to get Ratanen off Carolina. Can't see it happening. Hurcs ain't going to improve the rivals pathway to the cup so maybe if Rat gets traded. he goes back out west.

I felt this Leaf team I posted would make a better run than what they have now but to pull off that many trades, it's obvious that Trev will have to sell the farm future for todays run.

and pssst. Glad you said you have a Leaf friend as a besty ( I have a dog named wendel) cheers and happy deadline day, . may it go your way. :)

THATGUY: my posse is FULL of leaf fans. I actually painted a leaf man land for a bud who dug my Habland, AND I got him a Wendell Clark autographed picture for it. 👍

Treliving to make over his team next year when some cap space frees up. He’s been as expected today: responsible with his trade deadline.

I can’t believe CAR made that ridiculous trade with COL, and then had to undo it. I’m equally surprised they got as much from DAL as they did!

Agree1 Disagree0

07 Mar 2025 22:12:12
Hey Chickenfoot, that painted the picture well! I'm sure you do too! Awesome!

Trev did great, got two key players to round out the team that are signed for next year as well. (so no rental deal)


lol, the Rat as stated traded to the west, Dallas choked up a lotta Salad but signed sealed and delivered.

Gonna be a great playoff race all round.


Trades can still be in our minds forever and everyone posting and including the MODS thanks for keeping the site flowing because a picture paints a thousand "words". I think I spelled "trades" wrong ;)

LesHabitants…the guy that pretends to be a Hab fan, but posts only leaf-friendly deals. You can’t make this stuff up folks! 🤣

SJ and CAR hang up, but first they encourage you to embrace your leaf fandom and tell the world loudly and proudly, that you are a leaf fan. (It’s okay, some of my best friends are leaf fans😁)

Pinball, I have to ask…what’s your fascination with 35 year-old AHL netminder Dustin Tokarski?

Agree0 Disagree0

06 Mar 2025 19:41:00
Chickenfoot
Carolina needs another Goaltender for the future and The Leafs are set for today and the future, it's for Carolina not Toronto.
Tokarski will be one of the 3 with The Marlies.
That's why I included Tokarski.

Can actually see this happening.

Believable5 Unbelievable10

05 Mar 2025 20:37:35
“Can actually see this happening. ”

Compared to what? The stuff you normally post? 🤣

- Based on the two 1sts, a 2nd, and prospect that TAM just gave up for Gourde & Bjorkstrand, your offer can kindly be described as “hopeful, optimistic, naive, with a touch of rose-coloured glasses”.

- Robertson isn’t the prospect you think he is. He’s played parts of 5 seasons now. Teams know what he is, and he’s a smallish 3rd liner who hasn’t been able to play regularly in Toronto despite the leafs needing young guys on cheap ELC’s. Robertson is just a throw-in, and nothing more.

Agree7 Disagree0

05 Mar 2025 23:09:17
Here’s a retention comparable:

- DET got a 4th for retaining 25% of Gourde’s 5.1M deal from SEA to TAM.

- SEA is retaining 50% as well, so you could reasonably deduce the 2nd is for retention.

Looks like the market is clear for what retention costs at this deadline.

If this is the case, Pinball’s 2nd is for retention, and he’s proposing Robertson for Smith. (That ain’t happening anywhere but fantasyland. )

Agree3 Disagree2

06 Mar 2025 19:49:25
Smith just got traded for a mediocre prospect and a 3rd with the Rangers retaining 50 percent of the contract. Pinball for once offered something better.

Agree1 Disagree0

07 Mar 2025 09:41:26
Well said CC. That was a strange one, but it looks like the Rangers asking a vet “where do you want to go”, and accommodating him. Good for them, but it will take a lot of work to rehab the perception of how the NYR treat their players after a season like this. Dolan is killing his team, and has been for years.

Leafs Trade
Domi
NRobertson
2nd Round Pick 2025
1st Round Pick 2026

*Islanders retain 50% of both Nelson and Palmieri's expiring contracts.

Leafs solidify the third line adding Nelson and Palmieri.
Islanders get something for the now and future for 2 expiring contracts
So a good trade for them as well.

Believable2 Unbelievable12

05 Mar 2025 12:42:11
They'll get a better return for both players in separate trades.

Oh, by the way since you didn't bother to look. According to puckpedia, Toronto has $101,562 in deadline day cap space as of March 5.

So I'm not sure how you thought they can fit both Nelson and Palmieri under the salary cap even if they'd make $5.5m combined with 50% retention.

But at least you thought this was a good trade for both teams, and that's what matters most at the end of the day.

Agree3 Disagree1

05 Mar 2025 13:50:17
- to add to what DrwDave said, Nelson and Palmieri are productive players who will be highly sought this trade deadline. They’ll bring a good haul back to the island.

- if you take away Palmieri, the value looks right for Nelson.

- most hockey folks think Treliving will look for modest/ affordable depth adds. This makes a lot of sense to me.

- a lot of cap space opens up next year for the leafs. They have the opportunity to build a balanced roster by reallocating their cap space. A top-heavy roster bind that Dubas muddled his way into obviously didn’t translate into playoff success.

- Tre will give his team a tweak or two, keeping his picks and prospects as much as possible. He seems to appreciate the need to have both picks and prospects. Looks like the cycle of losing key pieces due to cap mismanagement ends next season. My leaf fan buddies have waited a looooong time for this, and I hope they end up with something to cheer about.

Agree4 Disagree2

05 Mar 2025 16:29:33
DrwDave
Nelson and Palmieri at 5,500.000
Domi and NRobertson 4,625.000
5,500.000 - 4,625.000 = 875.000
So yes they can fit it in.

Agree1 Disagree4

04 Mar 2025 16:25:24
If it could happen this would be a deadline proposal bigger than any before.

Pittsburgh Trades
Crosby*

Toronto Trades
Domi
Minton (AHL)
Danford (OHL)
2nd Round Pick 2025
1st Round Pick 2026

*Pens retain 50% of Crosby's remaining contract.

Leafs reasons for this proposal is obvious.
Pens reasons are to start a rebuild a player like Crosby, Malkin or EKarlsson are really their only trade chips.

Believable5 Unbelievable16

04 Mar 2025 19:28:40
Unlike you pinball, Crosby has loyalty to his team.

Come up with another way to disrespect Domi and the Leafs prospects.

Maybe you can sleep on it and come back tomorrow with a trade package that gives the Leafs a teams best player for absolute crap.

The 1st and 2nd only cover the salary retention, you'll have to give Marner and Cowen to Pittsburgh as well before they'd even entertain this.

Agree4 Disagree2

04 Mar 2025 21:52:52
I’d say 4.375mil retention for half a season at the deadline is likely worth a 4th round pick or 3rd tops. Not a 1st and 2nd lol.

Go look at what teams have paid in past in 3 team deals. I think hall had 50% retained by a 3rd party when he was traded from Buffalo (who remembered he played on Buffalo? ) for a 7th.

Agree1 Disagree7

04 Mar 2025 21:56:15
DrwDave
Pittsburgh is old and have to rebuild, they are near the bottom of the standings.
Loyalty goes only so far I think Crosby has done that for 20 years in Pittsburgh now.
Don't see him wanting to end his career this way without a chance of even making the playoffs
I believe Crosby would love playing in Toronto imo.

Agree1 Disagree7

04 Mar 2025 22:00:51
Agreeing with your own post isn't going to fool anyone pinball. 99.9% of the hockey community knows Crosby won't be traded, least of all to the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Agree6 Disagree1

04 Mar 2025 23:27:36
Yeah…Crosby is just dying to join your leafs Pinball.

It’s near unanimous in the hockey community that Crosby isn’t ready to leave PIT. DrwDave said as much.

I realize you can’t imagine why a player wouldn’t want to play for your favourite team, or why teams wouldn't want to help your team with unbalanced trades. But that’s you and your “hockey world view” in a nutshell.

Besides, if Sid was to leave the Pens, wouldn’t he want to join a contender? And wouldn’t PIT want to drive a better deal than this? You have to keep in mind that Kyle Dubas doesn’t have a record of making trades that help the leafs, so why would he start now?

Agree3 Disagree1

05 Mar 2025 12:36:29
Make a wish kid "I wish Crosby will play for the Leafs before I die" ahh type of trade.

Agree3 Disagree1

05 Mar 2025 22:43:08
Crosby is the consumate team player and thus would not fit the leafs ego atmosphere.

Montréal trades with buffalo
MTL sends both 2025 1st round, Dach and Mesar
To buffalo for Tage Thompson
Buffalo gives themselves 3 1st round (top 20)
1st round prospect (mesar) and a project with potential upside (Dach) and gives that a better shot at drafting Mckenna next year by getting rid of their best forward
Montreal gets a legit 2c superstar at 7.14 for next 5 years
MTL lineup
Slavkosky Suzuki Caufield
Demidov thompson laine
Gallagher beck Anderson
Heinemen Evans armia
( hopefully Habs can resign both evans and armia to reasonable contracts)

Believable1 Unbelievable12

04 Mar 2025 16:23:55
If Thompson were truly available he’d draw a bigger package than this. He’s also the best player in BUF, so I just can’t see them trading him.

Agree2 Disagree1

04 Mar 2025 18:20:36
Damn chickenfoot , what would be a good package in your opinion?

Agree2 Disagree2

04 Mar 2025 20:51:13
I don’t think BUF runs their franchise particularly well, so anything is possible.

If I’m BUF GM, I don’t trade Thompson, period. He’s too big and productive to ever hope to replace.

It’s not really the answer you’re looking for, but you don’t trade that guy if you’re serious about building a winner.

BUF needs a GM…yesterday. 👍.

Agree2 Disagree2

Florida Panthers will look for a way to use their cap space with Matthew Tkachuk ruled out with a groin injury until at least the playoffs.

NY Islanders:
Brock Nelson

Florida Panthers:
2027 1st round pick
2025 conditional 4th round pick (becomes a 2025 2nd round pick if Florida wins the Stanley cup).

With Tkachuk on LTIR, Forida has the cap space to bring in Nelson without any salary retention. Although this means they potentally wont have any picks in the first 3 rounds for the next 2 years, the chance that this team can win back to back cups is worth the risk.

Believable5 Unbelievable5

04 Mar 2025 03:01:30
Becomes a 2026 2nd round pick**.

Agree2 Disagree2

05 Mar 2025 10:24:57
This seems like a realistic deadline haul for Nelson. 👍.
