Matthews + for Karlsson? LOL

Leafs wouldn't trade Matthews for the entire Sens organization.

Matthews and Rielly would not cut it together. There has to be something of very high value, which likely is Kadri and Zaitsev added to them. The team trading for Karlsson holds absolutely no cards in that discussion, which more or less is the nature of trading for a top 5 player.

IF Karlsson were to be moved (which he won't be..) that Edmonton deal would be one I would be able to live with. The others are meh.

To trade him in the division itd take a HUGE overpayment..

Leafs switch Marner to Matthews.

Boston doesnt have the pieces.

Buffalo needs to involve Eichel.

Montreal doesnt have the pieces.

Make fun of it all you want, but you Leaf fans would be doing the same thing with Matthews if their was a value of Matthews thread.

You mean franchise #1C in his entry level contract who looks like he'll finish with 40g and finish 2nd in the league in goals as a rookie plus Rielly + Kapanen + a 1st round pick is worth more than 2 years of Karlsson who will then make $10+M a year? Crazy eh?

I am not saying that.

I am saying that if a value of Matthews thread was created, a bunch of Leaf fans would be asking for extreme overpayment. Just like Sens fans are asking for Karlsson.

That's hilarious.

Leafs wouldn't trade Matthews alone for EK, so Dorion would never even get to ask for more. Totally get Sens fans not wanting to trade EK outside of an overpayment, but that^ is ludicrous.

There is only one player in the league I trade Matthews for, 97.

i don't think we really have an option. Get to the trade deadline in his final year, and if there's no contract, we would explore getting something back if we're not in a playoffs spot.

The only possible trading partner is probably Edmonton.

They can give up Draisaitl, their best D and two 1st rounders and still be competitive and go forward with McDavid and Karlsson.

Yup.

Drai+Larsson/Klefbom+Pulji is a package that peaks Sens interest if there is absolutely no chance of EK re-signing.

Enormous pill to swallow but McDavid + EK could be one of the greatest duos in the history of the game playing the 2 most important positions in hockey.

not disputing the beauty that combo would be, but why on earth would the Oilers give that much up for a player so close to UFA? According to these boards, any player reaching UFA status has zero value beyond that, as they could go anywhere.

William Nylander or Mitch Marner

+

1st 2017

+

1st 2018

+

Dermott

and if needed

+

Kapanen.

Huge package would essentially be all in, and rebuild Ottawa instantly.

Leafs chance a cup with Matthews and the other guy left. Maybe bring in Tavares in UFA with the money saved on Nylander/Marner.

Marner,1st,1st,kapanen, dermott for Karlsson?

errhhh no. lets not make ottawa a powerhouse for years to come

McDavid + EK......the points those two wound put up....EK would easily break 100-120, and McDavid would hit a high not seen since the 1980s.

As a Sens fan, I'd hate to do it, but as a hockey fan.....whoa, baby! Would be incredible to see that duo for a few seasons.

Value of: Sidney Crosby at the draft

Value of: Alex Ovechkin at the draft

Value of: Connor McDavid at the draft

Value of: Carey Price at the draft

Why?

Well, Gretzky was traded.

Gretzky was sold when we had a cheap owner . Hmmm Who as a cheap owner today ?

You can't sell players today. And there is a cap. Salaries are also stable today and not skyrocketing like they were in 1988.

That's way too much to ask for 2 years of Karlsson. But he's entering his prime right now and whoever gets eK in his prime has one of the top 3 players in the league for uears to come.

So right now, straight up it would have to be Matthews and a pick. If EK was guaranteed to resign with TO then it would have to be Matthews and one of the top defensemen of Toronto
