Dallas decides they keep Robertson, but then they have to shed salary... Habs swoop in
Montreal sends: Kapanen, 2026 1st

Caufield, Suzuki, Slavkosky
(Hage or …) Hintz. Demidov

EDM - Nurse, Jarry, 2026 2nd
OTT - Foegele, Ulmark
30 Apr 2026 19:16:49
Think Oilers would have to add a first and something else more enticing for anyone to take on Nurse's contract.
Would be great to see an upgrade in net (if Ullmark bounces back).
01 May 2026 01:57:24
I think after the playoffs you’re probably right. But would you say pre playoffs this would be close? Ulmark would’ve probably seen as bad contract.
01 May 2026 03:24:47
It's hard to say. I just think that Nurse's contract is one of those unmovable contracts
I think Bowman really made things worse trading Skinner for Jarry. I don't know how he fixes that mess.
04 May 2026 22:22:07
There's no fit for Nurse in Ottawa. On paper that would mean Ottawa is paying $24.5 million just to the left side of their defense.

Montreal's rebuild was ahead of schedule, and now their Cup window is ahead of schedule. I believe they are there now
Now Pittsburgh hopefully realizes that their season was a one-off and that they need to enter a full rebuild.
Dubas should do right by giving Crosby a shot at the Cup and Sid might choose Habs
MTL sends 2026 or 2027 1st and a prospect (Beck or Engstrom) Gallagher (if Pittsburgh needs it to reach the cap floor)
To Pittsburgh for Crosby 50% retained
Habs would still have about 11 million in cap to add via trade or free agency
26 Apr 2026 14:29:39
So basically Habs get a retained Crosby for peanuts.
28 Apr 2026 00:12:02
Yep! Pittsburgh get a first and Engstrom!! Crosby has a full no move, he’s choosing Habs or Colorado... What did Rangers get for Panarin? Greentree a 3rd and a 4th! So yeah Mtl trading a first and (Beck or Engstrom) is fair!
29 Apr 2026 13:20:26
Mtl i8s tied 2-2 with an ok Lightning team. You have no chance against teams like MIN COL or DAL. You are not in the cup window.
29 Apr 2026 23:39:25
Colt5555 we’ll see.
30 Apr 2026 19:20:17
Colt.. Id say Lightning are better than just ok... Anyway, regardless Habs would give any team right now a good run.. Im not saying they'd win (yet), I dont see a juggernaut team atm, so Habs have a good chance at a Cinderella run as anyone atm.
All this is great experience for the youngest team in the playoffs, regardless of what happens.

3 way trade proposal.
Chicago Trades
Bertuzzi (San Jose)
San Jose Trades
Graff (Toronto)
Toronto Trades
Rielly (Chicago)
Thoughts?
05 May 2026 15:28:46
Reilly's contract and obvious declining play will be a hard sell for the Leafs to trade for a good return. This trade seems fair but will Chicago want Reilly?
22 Apr 2026 03:01:42
These are trades that I think would volt Habs into serious contenders
1- Habs make huge trade with Toronto
MTL sends: Hage, 2026 1st round
To Toronto for: Knies
2- Habs trade with Ducks
MTL sends: Kapanen, 2nd round
To Ducks for McTavish
3- Habs trade with Columbus
MTL sends: Dach, Gallagher, 3rd round, Montembeault
To Columbus for: Olivier
Habs get significantly bigger.
Might have to tweak a bit these offers, but those would be the guys I’m I’m trading for
Caufield Suzuki Knies
Slafkovsky McTavish Demidov
Olivier Newhook Bolduc
Danault Evans Anderson
22 Apr 2026 21:07:26
4- Habs trade with Ottawa
MTL sends: Josh Anderson
To Ottawa for: 3rd round pick 2026
23 Apr 2026 19:23:00
I don't see any of these being accepted
Would love to have Olivier though
I wouldn't trade Hage anywhere.
25 Apr 2026 02:53:35
Yeah Olivier would be massive for Habs, imagine he’d be on Habs for this series vs Tampa.
25 Apr 2026 12:35:10
I like Knies but not at that cost.
26 Apr 2026 01:55:29
What package for Knies then?
07 Apr 2026 04:15:18
To Utah
Brady Tkachuk
To Ottawa
Either Crouse or Hayton
And Tij Iginla
05 Apr 2026 19:10:37
Brady Tkachuk from Ottawa to Florida in exchange for Aaron Ekblad.
06 Apr 2026 14:27:01
lmfao
04 Apr 2026 21:35:02
Tom Wilson
Vs
1st pick MTL
Pickford / Engstrom
Beck
Time will shows that Habs need a player like Wilson to become a contender team.
Washington continue the rebuild that had starter with the Carlson Trade.
06 Apr 2026 14:36:50
Lol thats a no.
03 Apr 2026 22:37:00
Brady Tkatchuk
Vs
Seth Jarvis
1st Pick Dallas
Ottawa will want Tkatchuk out
Canes get the toughness that prevent them from going to the final.
Maybe the 1st is too much, or maybe it is not enough!
04 Apr 2026 11:58:36
Jarvis is just as good as Brady. Adding a 1st is laughable.
04 Apr 2026 16:32:15
I agree, but Tkatchuk style is very rare and will cost a lot, maybe a 1st is too much, but it will take more than Jarvis alone! The 1st is almost a 2nd...
07 Apr 2026 08:57:55
Jarvis is the smell in offensive points essentially. I would argue a better defensive player. Brady is s disturber which to me is the only he is better at. Personally it's even to me.
27 Mar 2026 14:27:33
Tor: Woll, Robertson
Phi: 2027 1st (tor)
Solves our goalie issue by running Hildeby as our back up next season instead of losing him to waivers. We trade a player who asked for a trade out of town and get back our first from a terrible trade. This gives the Leafs much less pressure if they are terrible next season as well.
01 Apr 2026 10:40:20
Not sure Philly gives up a first for that.....
04 Apr 2026 11:59:30
Would to see the Leafs get a 1st for that, but it ain't happening.
05 Apr 2026 17:03:56
Just trying to get the Leafs' first back. Philly needs goaltending, so gotta find the right balance. Maybe add a 4th or 5th. But the hardest part is just nailing down the price of the goalie. Signed for another 2 years, young, and can work masterfully in a tandem.
