Armchair GM Thread 2025/26


Rough list. Here's how I would rank them for the Leafs:

1) Tuch 2) Raddysh -> They'll both get wild contracts, arguably more than they deserve, but we have room and a pretty big need for both players so I'd be ok taking a run at either

3) Carlson 4) Andersson -> Either would be a back-up option to Raddysh, Carlson obviously being more of a short-term fix

5) Zuccarello -> I really doubt he ends up leaving Minnesota, but if he does going from setting up Kaprizov to setting up Matthews for a little bit would be pretty appealing to him I think

6-10) McMann, Malkin, Schwartz, Marchment, Arvidsson -> All left wingers, which I don't really think is a pressing need at the moment considering our depth chart. Possibly a role for one of them if we moved bodies out

13) Ferraro -> Solid player, but we have enough players like him already and the focus just needs to be on bringing in more puck movers on the back-end. Toronto born guy though and pretty young for a UFA. If the price is right maybe they can get him as a replacement for a traded OEL

12, 13) Coyle, Trouba -> Mild interest in both veterans as they're coming off pretty strong seasons but I just don't really see it happening. Coyle is going to get multiple bank trucks dropping money off for him considering the C market

14, 15) Mantha, Kane -> Guys I liked in the past but I think the ship has sailed there

16) Stanley -> Nah

17-19) Bobrovsky, Skinner, Andersen -> Obviously just no need

20) Ovi -> As fun as it would be even in the extremely rare event that he would entertain playing for another NHL team the fit just isn't there
