Keep dreaming

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Matthews to Arizona in 2024 then McDavid to Toronto in 2026.


This is the way

Pretty sure anyone would be trade bait to keep mcdavid if he was willing to re sign in edmonton. Stupid.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

I'm sure they will, as will every team in the NHL because it's Mcdavid

 

[GhostfaceWu]

Of course just like Stamkos. This is why people hate Leaf fans.

 

[Captain Controversy]

Lol
Anything for a reaction eh Friedman? Lol

Isn't this similar rhetoric to Matthews going to LA or Arizona...lol

 

[GreeningOil]

I imagine the Oilers will factor him in more

 

[Riggins]

Fast forward to 2024:

"The Leafs didn't table an offer to Matthews, they think they might get McDavid in two years"

 

[Hamilton Bulldogs]

Worked so well for the knicks and Lebron

 

[TheRarestDangles]

Anyone have a pic of McDavid's childhood bedroom that I can verify?

 

[RipsADrive]

What a worthless clickbaity statement. Friedman knows how to get eyeballs I guess.

 

[Hockey 4 Life]

I can see it if Toronto finds success and Edmonton doesn't, otherwise I think he stays in Edmonton. A top 6 of McDavid, Matthews, Marner, and Nylander would be nasty though.

 

[SingnBluesOnBroadway]

Leafs can offer sheet Sakic.

 

[TheRumble]

Of course just like Stamkos. This is why people hate Leaf fans.

Stamkos gave the Leafs a meeting following a year where Tampa made the ECF and was one year removed from the SCF vs the Leafs finishing last overall. The only other team that got a meeting that year was San Jose who had just made their own Cup Final.

He didn't end up signing but the fact that he even considered it means that the Leafs were right to prepare for it as a possibility.

If the Leafs have cap space they are a credible threat to sign any big name free agent from Southern Ontario.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Friedman ran out of news 1 month ago so now he is just making up stuff

 

[BeLeafing]

Good lord, his deal expires in 2026 what is this

 

[SnuggaRUDE]

S tier clickbait.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Matthews to Arizona in 2024 then McDavid to Toronto in 2026.


This is the way

Matthews will never be in Arizona playing for the team.

He may leave, but it's New York, LA teams like that, teams that can actually afford him, and I'm not talking about cap space I'm talking about cash.

Teams with cash don't need to play in front of about 3500 fans when you factor in seat removal so they can install lockers.

Otherwise it's 5000 which is still pathetic for an NHL arena

 

[Maplebeasts]

Of course just like Stamkos. This is why people hate Leaf fans.

What an idiotic take. Friedman is just looking for eyeballs.

 

[belair]

Between now and 2024, Edmonton will win a Cup. Toronto won't.

The arrogance of Leafs fans never ceases to amaze me. They haven't won a playoff series since 2004. You'd think that they would have developed a bit of humility after these 18 years of abject failure but nope! nadda. Zilch.

 

[leafsfan5]

After a deep run this year I don't think he's likely to leave, but there's lots of time for Edmonton to suck again

McDavid and Matthews would like reallllll good together. Matthews would likely get 75+ goals and McDavid 150+ points
