Proposal: NYR 1st OA for Matthews

[Menzinger]

Nope.

Matthews is a tier above Laff as a player and the Leafs won't need yet another winger, especially at the cost of a 1C

 

[The Nic]

Worst trade proposal EVER !!!

 

[ViewsFromThe6ix]

Lafreniere isn't even in the same universe as Matthews.....

 

[TheTotalPackage]

Maybe if Lafreniere was McDavid I'd consider it. But no. There are other options to clear out cap space than Matthews.

 

[The Iceman]

Did you not read the memo, YOU MAY DISCUSS ANY PLAYER FOR TRADE EXCEPT MATTHEWS

 

[Bluelines]

Looks like it's the weekend for somebody

Sadly I'm stone cold sober... this is me in a normal state ..

 

[robertmac43]

100% No.

 

[Bluelines]

this is worse than your last thread, and I am amazed you were able to pull that off

The one about your mom? ....Zinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnger

 

[Bluelines]

100% No.

So you are saying there is a chance?

Just as much of a chance the Leafs sign me :p

Laff being better then Matthews isn’t inconceivable and you get 3 years of ELC. It’s not not that crazy value wise

It kind of is. People seriously don't understand how amazing Matthews is, he's a unicorn.

Lafreniere likely turns into a 70-90 point winger. He's a very safe bet to be a first line star, many scouts don't feel he will be a superstar.

I agree they have some differences that’s why I said there are no good comparables to Matthews he’s unique and unlike any other player, Malkin is the closest by default. Who do you think is the closest to Matthews?

Stamkos?

Matthews is literally the only player in the NHL that combines elite shooting talent, elite shooting volume, and elite shooting location all in one package. Truly a unicorn offensively. Then add in his improved defensive play, and his flashes of elite playmaking, the guy might be the second best player in the league sooner rather than later.

 

[Terrible GM]

I believe the sentence structure was skewed a bit. Fixed it for you!
WTF DUDE? YOU ARE INSANE!

Stamkos?

Stamkos doesn't have the diverse shot tools in his arsenal. Matthews is elite at deflections, wrist shots, snap shots, he's got it all. Stamkos doesnt' play center either.

 

[Willchel Marlynder]

Lol no thanks. Marner+ and now we're talking.

 

[weems]

Matthews is severely underrated by his own fanbase.

 

[ToMaLe]

The only player I would trade Matthews for is McDavid, and thats not happening, so I would not trade him period.

 

[Bluelines]

Matthews is severely underrated by his own fanbase.

He's from Alberta right?

 

[egd27]

Horrible trade. Lafy will likely never be as good as Matthews.
Matthews is a stud and isn't going anywhere for 4 more years

 

[Brown Dog]

 

[hamzarocks]

If this was 3 years in the future with Matthews looking likely to walking as a UFA I'd make that deal 100%. With 4 years left and near certainty Matthews is going to be much better than Laf over those 4 seasons it's a horrible trade for a hopefully contending leaf team.

 

[Leafidelity]

Truly terrible. Truly.
