2025/2026 Season Trade Rumours and Speculation Thread

[Monahammer]

I hadn't looked at the leafs lineup closely yet this year, but they really are dog ####. They should have bent over backwards to keep marner. Wtf would McDavid even want to sign there?

It’s not that hard if you can read.

Ok let’s go on a trip down (very recent) memory lane for you. Timestamps are important here, so don’t dismiss them as a counting stat lol.

This was taking your point of previous seasons into consideration. They were actually fairly similar in production last year.

Inferring that I’m only taking this season into consideration despite you clearly missing the entire point.

Yes congratulations, Kadri had a good season 4 years ago with some skilled players. Kadri is a worse player now than he was 4 years ago just due to age alone and it’s only getting worse from here. If he had the fountain of youth on his side you may have had an intelligent point to make, yet here we are.

Thomas Harley is week-to-week with a lower body injury.

Stars, come get your boy Andersson. Might as well get Coleman at the same time, make us an offer that blows our socks off.

lol. I was talking about your attempt to make 4 years sound longer by saying "almost half a decade". You just can't read, can you?

The point is not that Kadri is aging and will slow down. I said that in my first post. I think that today he's a better player than Kniess. Your only evidence that TODAY Kniess is better is an 18 game sample size.

I kind of hope thats what that means. What does it look like though?

Andersson is almost for sure gone? Weegar unlikely but possible. Coleman should absolutely be traded this year. Kadri only on a blow your socks off offer.
Not sure anyone else holds much value.

To my mind if you walk out with a first plus and a first for Coleman not sure i would entertain much more.

Deep draft with four firsts and a couple of thirds. Ok!

I already addressed that in my last post. I’m going to ask something that is going to sound ignorant but it’s not intended to be. Do you have a learning disorder? I’m honestly not asking to be an ass, it will just change how I (and probably others too) discuss things with you in the future. It will just tell me that any dealings with you may require a little more time for you to understand.

What a sick individual you are.

I’m sorry if you took it to be offensive, I’m just looking for a way forward that explains why having a discussion with you can be difficult.

Yes because asking someone if they have a learning disability is always meant well. Don't bother responding because I'm done with you.

[Burning Beard]

We need a trade soon. Things getting feisty in here.

I don’t think the point can be made any clearer man, I’m literally reposting things for you to read and I just don’t see any level of understanding on your end. That’s why I asked you about a learning disability, it was from a place of understanding.

I said last year they were close with the edge to Kadri, but you missed that point yet again.

[Badgers Nose]

Flames will win tonight. All trades cancelled until January.

And GioforPM said that this year is too small a sample size, particularly because Knies is on an obvious heater and Kadri has been playing a lot of minutes with snakebitten schlubs. You missed that point repeatedly, and it seems like you did so on purpose.

Knies is the better offensive player at this point. Kadri is better defensively and plays a harder and more valuable position. Who comes out ahead depends on what attributes you place most value on. It's clear that the only thing you care about is offensive numbers, but other people are not obliged to agree with you about that. In terms of trade value, of course Knies comes out miles ahead because of the age difference, but that's not what this argument seems to be about.

I'm not even sure why it is an argument, because Knies is the last player the Leafs want to trade and they already have two great centres in Matthews and Tavares. What I do see is Gio making points, and you rebutting with things like ‘Are you learning disabled?’ Good grief.

[Roko]

Kadri would be a great add to Detroit and it’s quite close to his hometown of London. Hmmm.
