Proposal: Hawks - Leafs

[LeafGrief]

I disagree, he can say that all he wants but don't think he stays if you guys can't get past the 1st round and beyond.
I'd say McDavid to TOR when he's 30 and a free agent is more likely though.

I do like the fact that plainly state you disagree with the words directly from his mouth and replace them with your own wishful thinking. Normally I have to go eight posts and 1000 words deep to get that kind of confession.

Glad you think we're getting McDavid though.

Your theory is he will be given a blank check when he's 27 to stay but why wouldn't both sides agree on him staying 8 years right of his ELC then?
All his prime years bought up and he's a free agent right around 31 and then lock him up again?
I get the money aspect aka rush to free agency, just think him being American, he will eventually play in the US somewhere.

Ya it makes sense, think Tavares deal overlaps McDavid's by a year. Seems like a great way to pass the torch.
Would you rather have Matthews locked up another 8 years at 27 or McDavid at 7 years when he's 30?

Maybe you should read the article that I linked rather than asking 18 different questions that are answered inside by direct quotes from Matthews and Dubas. My "theory" is what the two parties involved in the deal literally said. Those are my final thoughts on the topic, I do not care to argue it any further.

I'd say that I'll see you later, but seeing as you're just another in a long line of posters who take a few months of their time to post inflammatory and antagonistic comments in every Leafs thread they see (pretty sure I saw you voted in the Leafs Board post-draft poll lmao) I don't think I'll see any more of your posts after this. Have a good one and I hope you find inner peace from your Leafs-related demons.

McDavid will 100% be a Maple Leaf. The kid bleeds blue and white and loves his City Toronto. Take that to the bank. As soon as he is a UFA he will be running out of Edmonton.

what a dumb trade proposal

 

[wahsnairb]

If you get a 23 year old franchise centre in a trade you just shortened your rebuild by 3 years and got the most difficult piece out of the way in the first afternoon.

Hopefully that makes sense.

Maybe you should consider the D and G situation on the Hawks right now before you say a rebuild would be over with bringing in Matthews.

Some of you are so narrow-minded it’s tough to read how you think. It’s not black and white.

Both Matthew’s value/awesomeness and the Hawks not wanting to touch that deal can coexist.

Hopefully that makes sense.

I asked two questions and the article is behind a pay wall no?

Differing opinions are allowed on this site. Leafs fans always think they are being attacked. We were discussing a contract about one of your players, nothing to do with what I vote on or me finding inner peace.

Love me some Kane but not for Mathews.

 

[Fatass]

Unless the Leafs have another guy with the Matthews sir name, why would the do this?

 

[AustonMarner]

With Chicago rebuilding and Toronto going all in for the cup. I propose the following trade:

Chicago

Matthews
Dermott

Toronto

Kane
Boqvist
1st (top 3 protected)

Chicago gets to rebuild around Matthews and add a decent young defenceman. For the Leafs, Kane brings playoff experience and knows what it takes to win a championship, with Boqvist they also add young RH D and a first round pick.

Laughable.. now you just need to make a trade proposal like McDavid for Toews and the Hawks will be all set

No need to even explain why this is beyond moronic... and any Hawks fans who would say no to this trade may need get their heads checked..

 

[ViewsFromThe6ix]

No combination of assets on the Hawks fetches Matthews.

 

[CanadienShark]

Makes no sense for either team.

 

[qqaz]

As a fan of both teams, I was really excited to see what this proposal was.

I was severely disappointed. It makes no sense.

 

[Odie Cleghorn]

Hawks get bent over here

No thanks

Don't be ridiculous. This is exactly the sort of deal Bowman would jump on. He wants to get younger and he even at worst breaks even on the deal.

 

[Deadly Dogma]

If the Leafs were to go in on Kane I think Nylander+Sandin+lottery protected 1st is a reasonable package

Wasn’t a hawks fan that proposed this

[Deadly Dogma]

No thank you

wow and here I was thinking it was a bit of an overpay. Now I am curious what you think is fair?

 

[slimbob8]

Leafs spend the better part of a decade rebuilding and looking for that elusive franchise C. All the stars align and they win the draft lottery and finally draft that franchise superstar they've been missing to build around. As soon as they hit their cup contending window they trade away that player for a guy who's about to turn 32. Brilliant, well thought out idea.

 

[AustonMarner]

Yes i understand.. but Hawks fans saying that they wouldn't do the deal is bonkers.. there's way too many Leafs fans that are just media talking heads as well..

Can we agree on this?
/Lock thread lol

Really doesn’t do much for me. That’s all.

Lock er’ Up
I agree there

None of your business, I wasn't talking to you.

Oohoho consider that button pressed

 

[AustonMarner]

Makes no sense for either team.

Haha... explain why it makes NO sense for the Hawks?? Please.. I'd really love to hear your fantastic pov?

No kidding. The best Young raw goal scorer in the NHL today. But yeah....don’t need him on my team.
