Buffalo Trades
Tuch

Toronto Trades
NRobertson
Danford (OHL)

Yep Pinball is back being September.



Thoughts ?

05 Sep 2025 20:31:14
Yup……. more lopsided trades. 🤔🙄.

05 Sep 2025 20:57:49
Nashan
Tuch is a trade chip and not to get another older player like Tuch as Buffalo is in a rebuild.
NRobertson with another team is probably a 20 to 25 Goal Winger and Danford is a very good prospect.
How you look at this as being lopsided is confusing.

05 Sep 2025 22:41:32
Welcome back Pinball. You’re a man of your word.

This is an unbelievably one-sided, homer-trade, but you’re a man of your word, and that’s more important. I hope you enjoy the season ahead🤜

P. S. I think your beloved team will play with more balls and respectability than in past years. They are more of a Treliving team and less of a Dubas team, so while they won’t hoist a Cup, I think they’ll look a lot less petulant and silly with bitchy Mitchy out of the 416. Enjoy🤜.

Chickenfoot
Thanx for acknowledging that I am a man of my word and would to be off until September, and even though we almost always disagree it's nice to be back and have my negative feedback 😂.

06 Sep 2025 02:35:07
And yes this will be a different team Chickenfoot, wonder who The Leaf whipping boy will be this season, if I were to guess I would say Rielly.

06 Sep 2025 15:40:16
You may be right about that Pinball. Rielly is in decline, and he won’t waive for a trade. With a new family I don’t blame him. Their family is in Toronto and any new parent would want the help and support of nearby family.

09 Sep 2025 15:11:30
Danford shouldn't be an option for a trade. Our Dcore is old to say the least and he looks to potentially be a more physical version ot Tanev if he develops properly and gets more disciplined. Tuch would be a great add and maybe it's something that we revisit closer to the deadline and get in on the bidding war for him cause he won't be a cheap add unless he tells Buffalo he only wants to come to TO.

Robertson is gonna get some opportunities this year to move up the lineup. We will see if he runs with it. But that 1RW spot is wide open for the taking out of camp. We will see some LWs getting looks, Roy likely gets a look. If Roslovic gets a PTO he could also take that spot out of camp/ preseason. A lot of wait and see, but hopeful for some bounce back years from a few of our guys.

05 Sep 2025 19:53:40
Well I am out of Pinball Jail and just in time for a training camp trade to post.

Buffalo Trades
Tuch

Toronto Trades
NRobertson
Danford (OHL)

Sabres a rebuilding Team gets 2 young players in this deal with only a year left on Tuch's contract.
Leafs get a solid RWinger to play in the top 6.


Thoughts ?

05 Sep 2025 22:42:28
Horrible trade, but welcome back you principled but delusional beauty🤜.

03 Sep 2025 00:01:43
Habs:
Hage
Matheson
1st Pick 2026
Price contract

Vs

Anaheim:
Mctavish, sign at 7.3 for 8 years

Thoughts ?

03 Sep 2025 16:35:10
too much right now for McTavish.

04 Sep 2025 00:37:24
Done deal. McTavish is a stud. Second line would be much stronger.

05 Sep 2025 16:50:35
I wouldnt be dealing a 2026 1st rounder until the deadline. Too many top prospects available this year to trade a pick blindly without knowing where you are at in thr standings.

09 Sep 2025 01:29:01
Thanks for all the replies!

I would also not trade the 1st of 2026, but if I was Anaheim, that + good prospect would be the minimum!

02 Sep 2025 13:52:16
Leafs:
E. Karlsson D

Penguins:
M. Riley D
N. Robertson RW
M. Domi C

Rangers:
E. Malkin C

Penguins:
G. Perreault RW
A. Gonchar Di

Montreal:
S. Poulin RW
7th 2026
7th 2027

Penguins:
C. Price G
1st 2026
2nd 2026
2nd 2027

03 Sep 2025 00:57:18
So MTL gives up a 1st (in 2026 no less) and TWO seconds to dump price, get two 7th rounders, and Poulin?

For reasons already stated Rielly won’t waive.

03 Sep 2025 16:36:06
Karlsson was a very god player. was. not sure he puts you over the hump.

05 Sep 2025 03:56:11
McTavish is a stud, but you don’t overpay to this degree. This is a can’t miss deal for ANA.

31 Aug 2025 04:10:42
Habs say with it and go all in for the future now!
Montreal trade for ideal 2 c in McTavish
Habs send : Dach, 2026 1st round, 2027 1st round
To ducks for McTavish
Habs trade with rangers
MTL sends laine and Matheson
To rangers for Artemi panarin
Montreal get to keep hage which will be on the 2nd line in the future either as a winger or center with McTavish
2026 lineup
Slafkovsky Suzuki Caufield
Demidov McTavish. Panarin
Gallagher Newhook Bolduc
Flo xhejaj evans Anderson
Guhle dobson
Hutson reinbacher
Arb xhejaj carrier
Future
Demidov Suzuki Caufield
Slafkovsky McTavish. Hage
Newhook beck Bolduc
Xhejaj Evans Gallagher
Hutson reinbacher
Guhle. Dobson
Xhejaj struble
Fowler.

31 Aug 2025 12:03:39
- ANA deal is close to fair, but ANA gets another prospect to make it happen. However, I’d be reluctant to trade a ‘26 1st…it is going to be a deep draft.

- the second deal is lopsided for the Rangers. I’d rather have the younger Laine than the bread man any day of the week. Matheson, if traded, will bring in more on a separate deal.

31 Aug 2025 13:23:57
No way in the world The Ducks get two firsts plus a prospect plus Dach for McTavish.

31 Aug 2025 17:40:52
For the ducks trade habs add engstrom only if ducks adds Tristan luneaux
The panarin deal is because I feel like the chemistry he and demidov would have would be gold, and panarin could resign at reasonable price to win that elusive cup.

01 Sep 2025 00:23:21
Adding luneau 6foot1 200 pounds RHD with offence
Actually sets habs dcore for the future
Guhle (2 way d) Dobson (offensive d, 2way)
Hutson ( offensive d) reinbacher (defensive d)
Xhejaj or struble ( defensive d) luneau ( offensive d)
Dobson being the oldest at 25 years old.

29 Aug 2025 01:32:36
MTL:

- Price's contract on Sept. 1st
- 2026 6th

CHI:

- 2026 7th (originally FLA)

30 Aug 2025 18:41:40
So Chicago takes the salary for nothing?

31 Aug 2025 12:00:15
Nashan, with the floor being higher, and teams needing to reach it, and with Price’s bonus being paid as of Sept. 1st, his contract will be a cheap way of helping a team reach the floor. (10.5M cap hit for only 4M, and insurance pays half of that. )

31 Aug 2025 15:46:14
Floor is 70M and they are at 76M so again why take any salary for nothing?

31 Aug 2025 17:03:22
The cost to MTL to move Price’s contract is expected to be a late pick, but Nashan you are 100% correct they don’t need it. I was suggesting basically a 7th swapped for a 6th, but you are absolutely correct that CHI is already at the floor👍.

02 Sep 2025 03:47:49
I’m thinking if I was the GM to take Price I’d want a second no worse. No favors as it is tough going in the nhl. I hope they don’t add any more teams to make it even more watered down.

03 Sep 2025 01:03:15
NASHAN: I totally agree that they shouldn’t expand, for the reason you stated. Unfortunately I fear they will to take the money that’s available.

The Habs have already ruled out a 2nd to the move Price. There are some teams that want to move out contracts that may need the Price cap hit to remain at the floor. The usual suspects seem to be PIT, SJ and CHI. Perhaps the upcoming GM meetings in Detroit will provide some answers👍.

3 way trade between habs , Vegas and Calgary

Montreal - William karlson
Vegas- rasmus anderson
Calgary- Mike Matheson

Slavkosky Suzuki. Caufield
Demidov Karlson laine
Newhook Dach Bolduc
Gallagher Evans Anderson

23 Aug 2025 14:17:02
Very bad for Calgary. If they trade Anderson it will be for youth.

23 Aug 2025 16:18:07
That's a big downgrade for Calgary. Montreal is giving up the least and getting the most.

21 Aug 2025 07:46:40
Calgary trades - Kadri, 3rd round pick 2027

Carolina trades: kotkaniemi, Nadeau, 1st round pick 2026


Ehlers Aho Jarvis
Svech Kadri Stankoven
Hall Staal Blake

Pretty solid forwards that the canes have needed.

Calgary gets a good prospect and a first while taking on the kotkaniemi contract

21 Aug 2025 13:47:07
I think this is a good basis of a deal. I think CAR would have to add a 2nd or similarly valued prospect to complete this offer.

I would also agree that KK gets traded before camp opens. He just isn’t a Rod Brind’amour kind of player.

21 Aug 2025 04:20:29
Flames send Anderson, Zary, Honzek and 2nd round pick to Ducks
Ducks send Mctavish and Zellweger to Flames.

21 Aug 2025 13:48:42
CGY adds to make a deal possible. ANA has shown patience in making moves when trading their assets.

19 Aug 2025 03:49:25
Hi guys.
I have a crazy trade

WPG
Perfetti
2026 1 Rd
ANA
McTavish
2026 2Rd

WPG gets there 2C who could eventually take over 1C.
I know they signed Toews. But he is 37 yrs old and has been out of hockey for a couple years. Can't expect too much from him. He might be third line centre or fourth line centre or flat out realize his body is not where his heart and mind are anymore. And retire. So many unknowns. Don't get me wrong he would make a great locker room guy, and has a lot to offer in that regards. But on the ice ??? Why not go after a young centre good 2C and bring young driver to compete for cup. ( Might have to find another goalie for the playoffs tho).

19 Aug 2025 15:00:39
I can't see McTavish really being available. That said, Chevy isn't going to give up a comparable young player and a 1st to get him. It's not Chevy's style.

The idea would be to add to the current lineup, not make a trade to fill one hole by creating another.

19 Aug 2025 15:22:35
Remove the draft picks and make this trade straight deal Perfetti for McTavish and it could work for both teams. However I don't believe that Chevy would make this trade as he likes Perfetti's progress so far.

19 Aug 2025 02:45:04
Habs should try and do a 1 for 1 hockey trade
MTL sends : Mike Matheson
To kraken for : Jared McCann
At a reasonable 5 million for next 2 years habs get their 2 c until’ hage is ready
Habs trade from a position of strength LHD

I also believe habs should target pending ufa Connor Murphy a massive RHD defensive defenceman which I would pair with Hutson
MTL sends : Josh Roy, a 3rd and a 4th round
To CHI : for Connor Murphy

Slafkovsky Suzuki Caufield
Demidov McCann laine
Dach Newhook Bolduc
Anderson Evans Gallagher

Guhle Dobson
Hutson Murphy
Xhekaj Carrier
Struble reinbacher

19 Aug 2025 15:01:09
McCann is a winger.

19 Aug 2025 23:37:51
Memarcusjoe do you have any 2 c proposals in mind that wouldn’t include a core piece from the habs?

20 Aug 2025 15:04:09
Sidekick, there aren't really any 2C's available that are known of at this point, so you'd likely be looking at a project player or an older guy that a team wants to move on from. No possible names come to mind right now though.

21 Aug 2025 13:51:23
I can see something like this happening. McCann can play center, but plays wing in SEA since they’re pretty stocked down the middle.

24 Aug 2025 17:12:40
Yah McCann can play the middle for sure. I think he was in the 40s percentage wise in the dot so that's a spot that need work. He's solid at both ends of the ice. Age is right for where the habs are at. Id say Habs probably add a pick or two depending on what round they are in; but the structure is there for a deal to be made.
