I think that Toronto obviously loses value-wise (I'd even say brutally) but NJD shouldn't do that because it doesn't make them instant contenders and Matthews is controlled for only 4 years.

I’d rather bet on Hughes being almost as good as Matthews especially at the cost of what could possibly be another top 10 pick in a defense heavy draft (what were lacking).
Do you here yourself right now, like really. fall down alot as a child.

Matthews for Jack Hughes, a 1st + 11 million or so in cap space

That cap space could be used to sign Pietrangelo or Hall...

So, if you're the Leafs, are you turning down an offer of Hughes, Pietrangelo, and a 1st rd pick for Matthews?
f*** yes

Yikes. And the cherry on top is making the 1st lottery protected. Swing and a miss.

It's uniquely horrible for both teams because the leafs get absolutely robbed value wise and barring other moves Matthews likely makes the Devils a consistent bubble team stuck in mediocrity.

*Just saw the pick is lottery protected :laugh::laugh:

New Jersey trades

Hughes
1st lottery protected

Toronto trades

Matthews

Jersey gets the best player in the deal but Toronto also gets a very good player in Hughes and they can sign Pietrangelo and possibly Hall on a shorten contract, go for the cup and still have the young core intact in the long run.

So who says no? Maybe the Devils add a little.
AM is going no where .. stop .. doesn't matter what you offer

This is one of those trades NJ has to do, then after Matthews leaves in 4 years and NJ wins nothing during the duration of it as Hughes develops fans question why they did it.

A bit of an unfair deal. Lets try something a bit more fair. Holl for severson 2mm retained.

Talk about dreaming in Prisma color!

Trade for Hughes, sign AP and Hall on a short and cheap deal... Hilarious!
