Proposal: Its time for Matthews to go (Mod Warning in OP)

Chychrun
Dvorak
Hayton
Crouse

Reason I do this and yes I am a TML. We are a much more balanced team. Chychrun makes Dermott expendable. Dvorak is reunited with his Knights line mate Marner. Hayton looks to be a 1C in the making. Crouse adds some much needed grit to the third line.

Then trade:
Dermott
Kerfoot
AJ
Spezza


TML

Hyman JT Nylander
Mikheyev Dvorak Marner
Crouse Hayton Kapanen
Engvall Gauthier Korskov

Rielly ???????
Chychrun Liljegren
Sandin Holl

Andersen
????????

Use trade chips to acquire Back up and first pairing RHD

Trading Matthews away and having ?????? as the top pair RD is a major bruh moment.

 

[Dead Coyote]

Schmaltz and OEL for Matthews and Liljegren who says no?

Probably TOR because I say Hell yes.

Kuemper + Chychrun + Dvorak + Soderstrom + 1st

Matthews + Barrie

Hell no. Kuemper is a no go. I probably wouldn't want to trade one of Dvorak/Soderstrom if I'm giving up Chychrun/1st.

Hell no, there's no way we're giving up Dvorak and Hayton in the same deal. Pick one.

 

[sittler rules!!!]

Columbus! Seth Jones and Anderson for Matthews and Barrie. Don't know if Columbus has the cap room.

 

[HockeyDBspecialist]

Matthews for Kotkaniemi, Petry, 2020 first

and some retention

They have nothing but cap room. Don't think they will do it though.

I really hope this is just a montreal fan being funny. You cant honestly believe a guy with 5 points who never touches Matthews as a player, a guy who turns 32 in a couple days and a middling 1st gets you Auston f***ing Matthews.

All 29 teams beat that. If he was ever moved to mtl it would be for a f*** ton. Not even sure mtl has the assets to get him.

Also, I really, really, really hope the "and some renention" was not intended for Matthews. Im actually afraid it is

 

[CatchyTune]

We’ll send you Reinhart, Mittelstadt, Ristolainen and two 1sts.

Some solid pieces but I definately pass

 

[CatchyTune]

Columbus! Seth Jones and Anderson for Matthews and Barrie. Don't know if Columbus has the cap room.

In that case, I think both teams just keep their guys. Jones is really good

 

[DarthProbert]

If Nashville can unload Johanson, Duchene, and Turris(that's right, all 3), they should make a serious push for Mathews(in this theoretical scenario where he's available). Their half-assed attempts at acquiring a 1C by paying 2Cs and a 3C too much isn't working.

Well that would be the ask. You get your native Son. We are not trading him for scraps.

 

[Mike Dukarm]

Max Domi + Joel Armia + 1st 2020 for Matthews

 

[CatchyTune]

Max Domi + Joel Armia + 1st 2020 for Matthews

Reeeeally hope this is sarcasm

 

[The List Of Jericho]

Max Domi + Joel Armia + 1st 2020 for Matthews

The love in with Domi is done huh lol

 

[Mike Dukarm]

The love in with Domi is done huh lol

The love in with Matthews is done huh lol

 

[Maximus74]

It would need to be a no-brainer. Something like Keller, Chychrun, Crouse + 1rst.

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

Matt Tkachuk + Hamonic + 2nd rounder

 

[Kupo]

22 year old center who’s 6”3 220lb and pretty much a PPG player in his very early career...

Stay Classy, OP. Posters like you don’t know what you have until you lose it.

Thank ****ing god you’re not a Rangers fan....

Anyone who thinks trading Matthews is a good idea is not a Leafs fan.

Dvorak and Hayton combined don't have 1/100th of the talent of Matthews. There's literally no combination of assets the Yotes could put together to get Matthews. They're just going to be stuck in mediocrity forever.

They’re 8 points up on the leafs lol

 

[greasysnapper]

Max Domi + Joel Armia + 1st 2020 for Matthews

I don't expect those 2 teams to ever trade such big assets with one another, but it would be great to see Domi in a leafs jersey.

 

[Kupo]

Oh I disagree.. They’re fans..

The wrong kind of fans with demented expectations.

 

[leafsfan2point0]

I hate my fanbase sometimes.. it feels like they’re so insecure they’re willing to give up on our best players the second things don’t go well. With this insecurity, it allows everyone else to curb stomp them.

 

[PB37]

The problem with Matthews is a microcosm of the Leafs in general: Talent with no clue how to win when things get hard. The team needs a couple of strong leaders and Matthews needs one of those leaders to take him under his wing to help propel Matthews in the right direction. Leaders don't have to be the best guys on the ice. Leaders are accountable both on and off the ice, help enforce the coaches system, and keep the team together during the hard times. The Leafs don't have that and with the boat quickly collecting water, the rats will jump ship first. Toronto did themselves a huge disservice by signing Tavares, a me first type of guy who has some of the best skills in the league but not the personality to take control of a team and be the center of it's leadership core. If Toronto is smart, Tavares needs to go, not Matthews, who still has hope in becoming The Guy Toronto needs to lead them through the next decade. At this point in time, Tavares is who he is... let the rats jump ship, and it's a step in the right direction for that franchise.

 

[16thOverallSaveUs]

If this was legit, I’d send Dumba + Staal(sweetheart deal) + Boldy for him
