2026-27 Toronto Maple Leafs General Discussion | Official: Sundin & Chayka to lead front office

The Oilers will probably pound them tomorrow to avenge their earlier loss. Then they have 4 easier games. I'm going to see how those go before sticking a fork in them. Regardless, if they lose to the Oilers, they'll be a .409 team having to play .667 hockey the rest of the way to make the playoffs. So their situation is grim. They have little cap space and assets to rescue their season.

Think the Leafs could trade Marchenko or Nylander to get their first and Minten back?

He'd waive to go to Boston to play with his buddy Pasta.

If Leafs got Carlo for Minten and a 1st, it feels criminal to trade Nylander for the same return.

Yeah but then the deal looks more like the Hall for Larsson deal.

Boston is 3rd in GAA and they're 6th in GFA. They don't need Nylander messing up their D with his 100 foot game. Minten is doing well there, is younger and signed to a decent deal until he reaches UFA status.
Assuming they're going to blow it up, Marchenko should be considered to be moved before his no movement clause kicks in.
