So what will it take to get Matthews back home to Arizona, how about the Leafs take three players of their choice from the Coyotes and three 1st rd picks going forward. Now name the three players your selecting. 
Lets talk about Auston Matthews.

You know the r-squared you see after you run the linear regression or any regression (non-linear; Logit, probit, LPM, GMM, GLS etc...)what is that called?

OEL, Keller and uhhh Domi? Still don't think it's worth it. Quality over quantity.
not even close to worth it, even with their 1st added in. Matthews being traded will be a bad trade for us.

Trading Matthews will be the dumbest thing this franchise could do

nope because he will be 21, as long as he continues learning and getting better each season. Progression isn't perfectly linear

Except Boston played really meh. I didn't see a hot team. a hot goalie or an elite shutdown guy. I saw a team shit the bed. Unfortunately, that was our team.

Can't come back to this thread, some posts so stupid, Trading our number 1 center? Either trolling or so stupid it's unbelievable.

Well to be fair, the rest of the league caught on and applied the same tactic, except they actually had money. Now teams predict player performance based on statistical analysis and it is the norm throughout the MLB. Hockey is starting to trend that way as well.

Help is on the way.
If that is all it is then it’s fine. I think it is bigger then that.
Look we are holding all the cards right now so no need to panic but I feel there is a lot more to this then a player who was simply upset at seasons end.
The fact that Babcock flew to Arizona to speak with Mathews tells me that it was serious enough to warrant the trip. Let’s see if Mathews plays with Marner next season that would be a good indication of Babcock having to change.,

Depends on how the rest of the team fares. Probably not though. Hopefully he also doesn't miss a quarter of the regular season again.
Not only does summer show up early here, but it's hot enough that people become delirious from the heat while posting. It's why roughly 95% of what you'll read is absolute insanity.

WTF did you guys expect a Stanley Cup 2 years after finishing 30th overall?
Now we have fans believing Nick Kypreos nonsense.
Way too much stupidity in here. IM out.

I just hope that the back injury from early in the season, which, per Babcock, nagged him for the rest of the season and hindered his skating and therefore his ability to play a 200ft game, is fully fixable and fixed.
If it is, we just need to sit back and watch potentially one of the best players in the league develop and fulfill his potential. If he's fully healthy, gets ample ice time and quality linemates, I think he can get close to 50g, 50a next season.

Alexander Ovechkin was drafted in 2004 and 14 years later he advances to the ECF for the first time. So no, we don't start worrying if Matthews is under performing in the playoffs on year 3 of his ELC.

You're not going to win very many 7 game series when your best player is that horrible.
Matthews wasn't just bad... He was a borderline psychopath.
If you took a random person out of the subway and dressed him in a leaf uniform, he would have a similar series as what Matthew had.
He was abhorrent at a level that neared derangement.
We should all be very worried going forward. Going into the playoffs, I never thought in a billion years that I'd be worried about our young cores future. But the maple leafs have a way of making the borderline impossible a reality. I'm worried. Very very worried. You all should be too.

You are acting childish. People are allowed to be disaapointed in Matthews playoffs. It wasn’t good. He needs to be better if we are to take the next step.
