Devils Trade
Mercer
Dillon
Nemec
Hameenaho (SM-liiga)
2nd Round Pick 2025
Canucks Trade
QHughes
5th Round Pick 2025
Thoughts ?
1.) 09 May 2025 16:17:32
As Jersey, I wouldn't do that. Why give up that much quality youth for 2 years? Either wait, or let Hughes put the pressure on the Canucks to lower the asking price. So that he has a good, deep team to come to.
2.) 09 May 2025 17:05:29
memarcusjoe.
Canucks trading their best player and Captain they would want a huge haul imo.
Vancouver isn't going to give QHughes away if traded I believe.
This is something that Vancouver would want in making this type of trade, and NJ gets better immediately.
3.) 09 May 2025 17:45:27
Sure that's what Vancouver would want, but that doesn't mean that's what they will get.
If he only wants to go to one team, there isn't a lot of bargaining power.
I wouldn't do it, if he has his heart set on going to Jersey only. I'd wait until the price becomes more reasonable, but that's me, maybe Jersey management is more cavalier with their assets.

Islanders Trade
Mayfield
Leafs Trade
NRobertson
Kampf*
Benoit
*Kampf would have to waive his NTC if The Islanders are not on his list.
Mayfield gives Toronto another CTanev Carlo type RHanded Defenceman which Treliving is always looking for.
Islanders at a point to start making changes and yes Kampf has to be part of this type of proposal, but for the future this is the type of smaller deals I see them doing.
Thoughts ?
1.) 05 May 2025 16:43:16
Benoit has been playing lights out these playoffs and is signed to a cheap deal. There is zero reason to deal him at all. Not one.
25 Apr 2025 13:18:35
At The Draft.
Calgary Trades
RAndersson*
7th Round Pick 2026
Toronto Trades
Kampf
Benoit
Hildeby (AHL)
2nd Round Pick 2025
*Flames retain 50% of RAndersson's expiring contract next season.
Treliving last off season and at the deadline focused on Defense more than Forwards which is showing how important that was, RAndersson would fit in very well on The Leafs and a proposal like this get's the summer going on the right foot.
Flames have some good prospects especially on The Right side of Defense that makes RAndersson available, Kampf is their 4th line Center, Benoit is a very serviceable Defenceman and adding Hildeby and a 2nd Rounder makes it make sense for The Flames to pull the trigger.
Thoughts ?
1.) 25 Apr 2025 18:19:00
I would alter the trade so that Matthew Knies would be included. Calgary is looking for young wingers and could throw in higher draft in 2026. Toronto is or will be in cap hell soon.
2.) 25 Apr 2025 22:54:16
Big NO from Flames for many reasons.
3.) 26 Apr 2025 02:57:43
@GM Speculator
I think that Calgary is targeting centers before wingers if possible. But I do agree that knies could be a good fit.
4.) 27 Apr 2025 15:33:18
I would go after Knies but so would everyone else. If you're willing to cough up offer sheet prices why not go:
TO TORONTO:
Rasmus Anderson
2025 1st Round (18th OA)
2026 2nd Round
TO CALGARY:
Mitch Marner
2025 3td Round
Marner (C, RH) checks two needs.
5.) 27 Apr 2025 16:03:32
2newgatden. you realize 1 is signed and other is a fa? Why would calgary trade that much for early signing rights. Maybe sign and trade.
6.) 30 Apr 2025 14:04:35
You've been told a billion times pinball, quantity isn't equal to quality. Always scraps.
7.) 01 May 2025 20:04:25
Typically one-sided trade from the #1 repeat offender.
If CGY wanted to trade Andersson they’d get a better return than this yard sale. (My guess is he re-signs in CGY. )
Treliving would never propose such a credibility-busting nonsense trade like this.

Pittsburgh Trades
Crosby
Montreal Trades
Dach
Reinbacher (AHL)
Hage (Big-10)
1st Round Pick 2025
1st Round Pick 2026
With Pit imo looking for a full rebuild this would be the talk of the off-season if this could happen, Malkin isn't going to waive his NTC but maybe Crosby does, Pens really only have 2 trade chips worth anything and that's Crosby and Karlsson and this is something I really believes helps both Teams going forward.
Who says no ?
1.) 17 Apr 2025 12:25:34
As much as I like Crosby, that is just way to much of the future going the other way for a player closer to 40 than 30.. that seems like more than the Oilers got 35 years ago for prime Gretzky.
2.) 17 Apr 2025 23:59:07
Sosahabs24!
Ok take out Hage and one of the 1st Round Picks, so it's
Dach, Reinbacher and either a 2025 or 2026 1st Rounder.
Is that fair for both Teams?
3.) 18 Apr 2025 03:33:10
Thats better. Still not in love with it haha.
4.) 19 Apr 2025 22:24:55
Crosby would fetch a underwhelming return because Crosby would dictate where he goes (closed market) .
5.) 20 Apr 2025 00:20:14
Most importantly, it’s Crosby that says no.
He’s made it clear to those that know him best that he's a one-team athlete. He’s given absolutely no indication to think otherwise.
6.) 22 Apr 2025 13:08:04
Yah I think the idea of him leaving has came and went. He's got his cups and his accolades. I think now you see him focusing on making the younger guys better and riding out the last of his contract with Malkin and Letang.

Buffalo Trades
Peterka (RFA)
Toronto Trades
NRobertson (RFA)
Hildeby (AHL)
2nd Round Pick 2025
1.) 17 Mar 2025 18:37:18
Is this an intentional joke one Pinball? One of those "H'yuk, h'yuk, h'yuk, Buffalo is a bad team, they won't even realize we're offering them garbage, h'yuk, h'yuk, h'yuk" deals.
2.) 17 Mar 2025 21:55:00
memarcusjoe
Peterka is on the trading block wanting out of Buffalo it's all out there, so no this isn't a joke and why is every Leaf including Leaf draft picks garbage in your opinion?
3.) 18 Mar 2025 02:15:15
Pinball,
Just because Peterka is available, doesn't mean they'll give him away for nothing.
Peterka has almost as many points this year as Robertson has in his career. Robertson is a tiny AHL/ NHL tweener. Not much value.
Hidelby is a meh AHL goalie with an unimpressive save %. Goalies are generally worth very little in a trade, especially 3rd/ 4th stringers.
A mid to late 2nd is a mid to late 2nd.
This is the same junk you always offer. Pieces you realize no longer have any potential to be impactful NHL'ers, so you want to dump them.
So, let's hear your biased pitch. Why would Buffalo do this?
4.) 18 Mar 2025 11:21:40
He isn’t available.
5.) 18 Mar 2025 11:22:17
If that was there only offer they would risk him being offered sheeted in the summer because it would be probably 2 firsts plus.
6.) 18 Mar 2025 12:59:36
Meandme, I really doubt any team would be offering over 9 million. Offer sheet might cost a 1st and a 3rd.
7.) 18 Mar 2025 14:36:00
They value Paterka more than Cozens so that’s the starting point +.
8.) 18 Mar 2025 16:57:37
@tury how much does he need to be payed for the sabres not to match in your idea. I think they will easily match 8 or 8 and a half.
9.) 07 Apr 2025 18:30:13
I think he get maybe 6.7m. nobody is gonna go over that. A 1st and 3rd. Or else its not worth it.

This isn't a trade post.
I just wanted to say RIP for Johnny Gaudreau and prayers for his family after his tragic death.
Very sad day for everyone who loves the game of hockey.
1.) 30 Aug 2024 18:26:22
A horrible tragedy. RIP to the Gaudreau brothers, Johnny and Matthew.

New Jersey Trades
Mercer
Nemec
10th Overall Pick 2024
2nd Round Pick 2025
Toronto Trades
Marner*
Liljegren
*Marner would have to both waive his NMC and do a sign and trade otherwise Marner and NJ say no.
IF Marner agrees to a trade and signing long term with NJ and The Leafs willing to make this bold move, it will definitely change things for both teams.
Mercer is no Marner but a solid Winger, Liljegren is no Nemec either and that's the improvement for Toronto, I see NJ pursuing Guentzel and should have just enough to sign him and have a full roster imo.
Thoughts ?

Montreal Trades
Suzuki
Caufield
DSavard
5th Overall Pick 2024
57th Overall Pick 2024
Toronto Trades
Marner*
NRobertson
1st Round Pick 2026
*Marner would have to both waive his NTC and do a sign and trade.
Montreal wants Marner this should be the asking price if Marner agrees to going to Montreal.

1.) 13 Jun 2024 19:58:48
Not even sure why I am responding to this. bur Pinball, maybe this is why you get so much negative backlash on this site. This is horrible. I might be bias, but this is one of the more rediculous trades I've seen from you.
28 Feb 2023 21:35:48
What a Leaf Day so far.
Leafs Going
Sandin (Washington)
Engvall (NYIslanders)
3rd Round Pick (Vancouver)
Leafs Incoming
Gustafsson (Washington)
LSchenn (Vancouver)
1st Round Pick 2023 (Boston's Pick)
3rd Round Pick 2024 (NYIslanders)
All I can say is my thorn on here Chickenfoot, didn't I say Dubas was going to do big things ?
More to come by THE GENIUS Dubas.
1.) 01 Mar 2023 12:47:53
In 2 weeks he has brought in O’Rielly, McCabe, Acciari, Lafferty, Schenn, Gustafsson and recovered a 1st rounder…. lost only Sandin, Engvall and Joey Anderson off the NHL roster, has chicago paying 50% of McCabe for 2 more seasons AND actually gained cap space over that period.
I honestly don’t know anyone else that would have or could have done that. If they don’t extend him, where do you go looking for a replacement GM that’s an upgrade? I wouldn’t wanna be the guy who has to find it. And if you don’t keep Dubas around, does Brandon Pridham, their cap expert, stay? Or does he go with Dubas?
I think it’ll be a big mistake to not extend Dubas regardless of what happens in the first round. He’s done his job at an elite level. It’s up to the players to do theirs now.

Toronto Trades
WNylander
NRobertson
Liljegren
Dermott
Hirvonen (SML)
1st Round Pick 2022
2nd Round Pick 2023
Vancouver Trades
JTMiller
Garland
LSchenn
Hunt
Both Toronto and Vancouver basically said respectfully that WNylander and/or JTMiller wouldn't be traded from their respected teams, and I know it probably won't happen, but if both Teams would be willing I believe this would be great trade for both Teams imo, plus it would be the biggest deadline trade in NHL history.

I do see a push to get Crosby this offseason, it will take a lot more than that plus Laine right now is a liability, as for Malkin he made it very clear he will not approve of any trade out of Pit and he has a NTC.
If Montreal can somehow get Crosby and sign say Brad Marchand without taking too much from the current roster, Montreal will be a Team looking to win the division next season imo.

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.
