Not enough from the Leafs for Tuch with that big of a retention.

Pinball……you have to give something to get something. Can’t just keep packaging the same fringe players to get a top six forward.

Agree2 Disagree0

16 Oct 2025 13:23:52
Nathan, that is Pinball's shtick. The something for nothing trade.

Agree0 Disagree0

18 Oct 2025 14:45:35
No offence but that’s a terrible trade that greatly benefits the Leafs. I don’t think you could even pull this off on NHL 26.

They Sabres would want at least a 1st rounder in return, which the Leafs don’t have.

Agree0 Disagree0

It would be great to see the Jets trade for rental Martin Necus.

Colorado trade
Necus

Jets trade
Heinola, Ford and a 2nd round pick.

Believable1 Unbelievable5

11 Oct 2025 19:02:46
I think Colorado should be able to get more for him. As a pure rental he's worth the standard 1st an a 3rd minimum.

Agree4 Disagree0

15 Oct 2025 01:24:25
Minimum to land necas would be a 1st and a top 5 prospect.

Agree2 Disagree0

18 Oct 2025 14:50:06
Avs would want to retain him before considering trade talks, they contending for a Stanley. Think Necus wouldn’t get the wages he wants from another team. No one is going to offer the big wages he might want. I think he ends up re-signing.

Montreal convinces Sid to agree to a trade

MTL sends : Dach, laine, 2026 1st, 2027 1st, the better of 2026 2nd round (beck or kapanen )
To Pittsburg for : Crosby and Malkin (50% retained)
This leaves habs with more cap space to add during the season if need be
1st line
Slafkovsky Suzuki Caufield
2nd
Demidov crosby Newhook
3rd
Bolduc malkin Gallagher
4th
Flo xehjaj Evans Anderson.

Buddy Suzuki is the 3rd line center in your scenario!

Sidekick, you are to MTL trades what Pinball and Les Habitants are to leaf trades.

Agree4 Disagree0

03 Oct 2025 16:03:30
Not going to happen lol. If for some reason it did though, your lines are just wrong lol. Malkin would get moved to LW and likely ride shotgun with Crosby and Demidov moves to RW with them. Newhook or Bolduc are your 3C, the other your 3LW.

But let's come back down to reality and realize Crosby likely only moves at the deadline but the odds are more likely he stays with the Pens and finishes his career as a Pen. Pens will need to rebuild eventually, but there is a tonne of value in learning under Crosby. Hell you can see it in Celabrini just from skating with him for the Worlds and in the offseason.

Agree2 Disagree0

18 Oct 2025 14:59:24
Sid will retire as a Penguins unless he comes out and literally trashes the organisation. Very unlikely

He would want to go to a Stanley contending team. The Penguins would want multiple 1st round picks (and I assume high 1st round picks) and prospects.
Now imagine if you were a Pens fan and find out that Crosby gets traded to the Habs for Multiple 1st (Late Round picks) and couple of okish prospect. You would be marching to the PPG Paints Arena and asking for Kyle Dubas head on a pitchfork.

Only player I see gets traded is Erik Karlsson and the Pens are going to have to retain salary.

Buffalo Trades
Tuch

Toronto Trades
NRobertson
Hildeby (AHL)
Danford (OHL)

Leafs will have to shed some Cap unless Buffalo will retain some salary on Tuch's expiring contract, but where Buffalo is and where Toronto is this proposal makes sense for both teams imo.

Thoughts ?

If Tuch was to be officially on the market there would be significant interest. Zero chance BUF would bite on this offer. The player and the team seem happy together for the moment, but if that changed, Tuch would command a sizeable return.

Agree4 Disagree1

26 Sep 2025 15:47:13
Teams can't expect to get a very good player from teams for bottom six players and unproven AHL ones. The Leafs would have to give up Cowen and a #1 pick, if they had one, to get the Sabres to even consider a trade for Tuch.

Agree4 Disagree1

28 Sep 2025 21:23:35
Maybe if Tuch says he only wants to go to the Leafs, otherwise we don't have the pieces to compete with most teams to get him.

Idk why you are so eager to trade Danford tho. Our defense is on the older side. He plays a simple game like Tanev. He's a righty. I'd rather hold on to him.

Robertson is what he is. He'd be a throw in on this deal and throw ins don't move the needle.

Not even Kevyn Adams would make a move this bad.

Sharks Trade
Toffoli

Leafs Trade
Domi
McMann
Kampf

Any player with a NTC/NMC will have to waive to complete this trade proposal.

Leafs get a very serviceable RWinger to replace Marner, as well as downsize the forwards currently on the roster as there are too many, Leafs add 1.5 million in this proposal for more Cap Space.

Sharks a team looking to add some veterans to this young very talented group they are building, this 3 for 1 adds much needed depth as well.

Thoughts ?

Believable5 Unbelievable16

- Toffoli is a 30 goal scorer in each of the last 3 years, so he’s definitely better than serviceable.

- by all accounts he’s been a great vet in SJ, and has really taken to his role. He seems to enjoy it there, and if he’s going to waive, it would only be to go to a team with a legitimate shot at a Cup.

- SJ is looking to play more kids. Why would they want to block 3 development paths like this? Also, where’s the picks or prospects any rebuilding team needs to have?

- Quantity ≠ Quality, and it never will.

Agree3 Disagree1

19 Sep 2025 03:22:59
If habs believe that dach will finally become the player they hoped and that laine will be his best version yet ( if so .. need to resign asap at a reasonable cap) I have a proposal that might be interesting for both parties

MTL sends : Matheson Mesar and a 3rd round pick
To devils for : dougie Hamilton
Guhle Dobson
Hutson Hamilton
Xehjaj carrier
Struble reinbacher
Engstrom

Believable2 Unbelievable19

19 Sep 2025 13:21:22
Mesar isn't moving the needle on a trade anymore. His development has become stagnant. And Hamilton is a big part of that Devils dcore so I don't see them moving him.

Habs are fine how they are. They keep building smartly they will be a force in 3 years or so. They do need Slaf to take a big, big step this year. Even if his production stays the same they need him to a force when he's battling for the puck, throwing hits, blocking shots, and taking lanes away with his size.

Agree3 Disagree1

19 Sep 2025 17:02:10
This doesn’t seem like a necessary move at all.

There is such a thing as too many moves, and there is value in taking the time to see what you have, what needs may present themselves, and what remedies might be available in the trade market.

I’m all for starting the season and making wise use of available cap space based on need and opportunity.

Agree4 Disagree1

20 Sep 2025 11:08:13
not a fan of Hamilton . pass and continue to develop within.

Last thing Montreal needs is an offensive defenseman.

Agree3 Disagree1

23 Sep 2025 14:02:59
Hamilton and Dobson provide the same play style offensively (a great shot from point and ability to find the net which is a massive compliment to Lane Hutson who is a unreal QB but has a weak shot) but Dobson imo is significantly better defensively and is less injury prone. Hamilton is the last player the Habs need.

Agree2 Disagree1

17 Sep 2025 23:40:48
Well the season is just about here..YEAH!

Thought I would lay out a funny scenario, where Crosby gets traded at the trading deadline to the Montreal Canadians.

HOWEVER others get traded and they come up with this 2nd line which Crosby centers.

Imagine the announcers having to pull it off in French, and English. Cheers to the new season.

Crosby to Montreal for:

Kirby Dach -3.4m
Jake Evans -2.9m
Ty Smilanic -signing rights
Jayden Struble- 1.4m
2026 1st
2027 2nd

Habs trade:
D.Reinbacker -887k
2026th 7th round
2028 5th

to DUCKS for:
J. Biakabutuka - 825 K

Habs trade:
Luke Tuch -913K
2027 6th

for:

R. Kumpulainen -866K

New Lines

Caufield- Suzuki - Demidov
Hutson - Dobson

Florian Xhekaj-CROSBY-Kumpulainen
Arber Xhekaj - Biakabutuka

What kind of black mail does Davidson have on Alvin and Fitzgerald?

Agree1 Disagree0

16 Sep 2025 02:46:44
Which trade out of these makes more sense for habs ( I believe by the state of these team these are fair trades)

1- habs make a splash
Montreal sends : Hage , engstrom ,Roy and both 2026 2nd rounders
To ducks for : McTavish ( bridge him 3x5 per or make room for a long term 7.5 per)

2- habs trade with rival to add a stop gap 2c until hage is ready
MTL sends: struble and ( kapanen or beck)
To Boston for : Zacha

3- habs add a veteran proven winner 2 c stop gap for hage
MTL sends : ( beck or kapanen) a 2nd and 3rd round
To Nashville for Ryan oreilly

4- habs make a smaller scale splash for 2c
MTL sends : matheson and 3rd round
To Seattle for Jared McCann

Believable1 Unbelievable22

16 Sep 2025 13:09:46
McCann is a winger not a center.

Agree2 Disagree2

16 Sep 2025 16:18:54
I am happy with the current roster. The additions of Dobson and Bolduc a long with depth peices like Valeno and maybe even Blais are going to help. Obviously Dach is the wildcard in alot that happens this season. I'm excited to see what the Habs have.. another year of growth, Gonna be fun to see how it goes !

Agree1 Disagree0

16 Sep 2025 18:52:39
I agree with Sosa.

Leave the lineup as-is until some teams drop out of contention on or before the Trade Deadline. They built the cap space to have the flexibility to make whatever becomes necessary to do. No need to rush things till they see what they have and what needs present themselves.

Agree1 Disagree0

16 Sep 2025 23:18:07
Probably trading for ROR, it's just a matter of fact if Nashville really wants to let him go.

Agree1 Disagree2

17 Sep 2025 17:20:25
Time will tell if it’s a fact the Habs would trade for him. Until then it’s speculation.
