NHL rumours 5

11 Jul 2025 21:00:21
Sabres: Byram, Tuch

Leafs: Cowan, Carlo, Robertson, Kampf, 2nd round pick 2026

11 Jul 2025 22:07:14
And some Leaf fans wonder why they have such a bad reputation.

11 Jul 2025 23:37:28
Hahahahaha😂.

11 Jul 2025 14:38:24
SJ: Laine

MTL: 5th (2028 - Conditional)


- SJ adds 20-30 Goals to their lineup for a chance to see if Laine is worth re-signing next summer.

- Habs clear 8.7M in cap space to get under the cap and to facilitate their next move.

- the conditions for the pick are set at something unlikely to happen, like a 50G season, so that SJ basically gets the asset for nothing other than the cap hit, which they need to reach the floor regardless.

- MTL can't put Laine & Dach on the same line for defensive reasons, and this opens another top-6 roster slot for an expected 2C that shoots left.

11 Jul 2025 14:20:35
SEA: McCann (C)

MTL: Matheson (D)
2nd (2026 - higher pick of MTL's own 2nd or their CLB 2nd)
4th (2026 - higher pick of MTL's own 4th or their NJ 4th)
Kidney (C prospect, 2021 2nd round)


- this trade solidifies SEA LD by pushing Oleksiak down to the 3rd pairing, and Lindgren to the RD)

- money is similar, but MTL adds the 2nd, 4th & prospect for the extra year of term on McCann's deal, and the fact that Centers currently have a higher acquisition cost.)

- McCann currently plays LW & C, but is a 3C on SEA behind Beniers & Stephenson, and they are currently giving 3C reps to Shane Wright.) SEA turns some of that C-depth into 4 pieces.)

too much going one way.

11 Jul 2025 09:57:44
Sabres: Byram, Tuch

Leafs: Cowan, Carlo, Kampf, Robertson

11 Jul 2025 13:46:18
That's weighted pretty generously in YYZ's favour.

08 Jul 2025 10:08:51
Reilly, Cowan and Robertson for Dunn and Tolvanen.

I think the Leafs biggest need is a PP quarterback.

08 Jul 2025 23:45:02
Dunn is not the answer there. Would sooner pursue Erik Karlsson with retention. To be honest Rielly and Cowan + for Erik Karlsson and Rust or Rakell make a ton of sense for both teams.

10 Jul 2025 02:36:58
Disagree on Karlsson. 10 million for him for two more years is way to much. Dunn is much younger and makes a reasonable amount of money in comparison. Also like the thought of Tolvanen as a 3rd line guy. Solid defensively and can also put the Puck in the net.

Knies Matthews Maccelli
McMann Tavares Nylander
Domi Roy Tolvanen
Lorentz Laughton Jarnkrok (hopefully gets traded)

McCabe tanev
Dunn Carlo
Benoit OEL.

10 Jul 2025 20:39:30
Leafs don’t need a 3rd line guy tho. They have Domi, Roy and Maccelli who are not good enough for top 6 but to good for 4th line.

11 Jul 2025 17:58:51
Disagree again. Maccelli will be given the opportunity on the first line. He is known as a good set up man, just what Matthews and Knies need. His 1st 2 seasons were pretty good on a bad team, and last year he battled injuries according to reports.

08 Jul 2025 02:00:10
Not sure it works out salary cap wise.. but ..


Edmonton recieves.

Matheson
Newhook
Dobes


Habs receive

Nugent Hopkins

09 Jul 2025 17:26:25
If habs retain 50% on mattheson.

12 Jul 2025 16:06:13
I'd rather see that package go to Anaheim for Mac T.

07 Jul 2025 23:04:35
Avs get Laine and 2026 2nd rounder
Mtl gets Necas and Manson

08 Jul 2025 01:56:32
No way Colorado does that

09 Jul 2025 19:54:35
Nobody wants Laine.

10 Jul 2025 03:50:50
Id gladly keep him, if he will sign at a lower rate.!

04 Jul 2025 04:40:43
EDM - Berezkin

TBL - Howard.

09 Jul 2025 01:58:34
O’Reilly*.

02 Jul 2025 17:57:19
Toronto looking for a center and Nashville may have what they need.

TOR: Stamkos - $8,000,000
NAS: McMann and Carlo and 2026 3rd pk $4,835,000

03 Jul 2025 12:59:12
Toronto has had interest in one particular center and now is the time to make the deal.

TOR: McMann and Carlo and 2026 3rd pk $4,835,000

STL: Schenn - 2 yrs left on a 8 yr at 6.5 million.

08 Jul 2025 23:46:22
Don’t think Stamkos is worth anything without retention. Schenn does have value tho.

30 Jun 2025 23:54:46
So Marner was traded to Vegas for Roy, as Me and Chickenfoot agreed on this is officially my last post until September 1..
Have a good summer everyone and see you back in the fall, I will see what people post of course but time to get some rays and enjoy the summer 🌞
Cheers everyone and Chickenfoot you were right.
Cheers

Have a good summer Pinball

01 Jul 2025 04:21:23
🤜🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦.

30 Jun 2025 13:12:57
Kyrou
Leddy (cap dump)

Vs

Matheson
Dach
Struble
2nd Pick

Thoughts ?
STL clear cap space, get a good defenseman ans take a shot at Dach. Habs get the Center they are looking for.

01 Jul 2025 03:16:40
Isn't Kyrou a winger???

01 Jul 2025 13:55:56
Kyrou is a RW.

Happy 🇨🇦 Day🎆🎇.

01 Jul 2025 14:07:21
Winger and center.

01 Jul 2025 17:33:20
Thats completely horrible. Blues need righthanded younger dman. Kyrou is not a center and MTL unless wanting to trade reinbacher have nothing blues want. Also when day one comes blues have 7 mil in cap. lol 70 point fast winger for trash lol.

02 Jul 2025 15:18:24
How you feeling after that trade Bolduc trade @Colt55?

07 Jul 2025 14:57:52
I really liked bolduc but getting a young top 4 RHD to replace an aging faulk was a need. We have Kyrou, Buch, Holloway, Snuggerud, Neighbors, Dvorsky and now Carbenou who just dazzeled in camp on the wings. Bolduc was traded from a strength for a weakness. PM compares Malli to a you bouchard. so tell me if that happens is it worth it.

09 Jul 2025 18:20:34
Meh I'm not a big Bouchard guy. I personally see Mailloux looking like the Florida Panthers version of Seth Jones if he hits his peak. Tbh that wouldn't be too bad for the Blues. Bolduc is coming off a pretty successful back half of the season so immediate winners I see being the Habs. If everyone develops and progresses as they should it will probably be a fairly even across the board trade.
