I’d move anyone on that team, including Matthews but to get Matthews would be very, very expensive

 

[leafsfan5]

No. He's not being dealt barring an insane overpay

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Franchise centers like Matthews don’t get moved unless they demand a trade (Eichel) so he’s going nowhere.

 

[Crow]

Damn he only has 3 years left? I would have guessed at least 4. Maybe 5 including this one.

He only signed a 5 year deal and he finishes his contract as a UFA

 

[CatchyTune]

You arent a Leafs fan are you? Shouldnt be offering him up as he isnt up for grabs

 

[Iwishihadaspacebar]

Because Marner gets paid just under $11m, I forget that Matthews gets paid almost double MacKinnon and $3m more than Draisaitl.

Yeh. Which will mean he will make more money than McDavid when comparing the first 8 years of their career. Pretty crazy considering one is generational and the other is not.

did you forget that at the time of their contracts Matthews outscored mack by double and he could literally stop playing for 2 years and start the next season with more goals.

matthews was twice the player mack was at the time of his contract. It’s not his fault mackinnon was a terrible for the first 4-5 years of his career

 

[TGWL]

Laf, Zibanejad, and a D prospect.

(Looks around for all the Buffalo fans)

Than he walks away free as a bird.

Toronto might try and trade him before his NMC kicks in, if they think they will lose him for nothing.

MacKinnon scored 24 goals and 63 points as a rookie. I'd say Matthews wasn't quite double the player even after a couple of years of the Avs sucking.

And highlighting Matthews' salary isn't saying he is bad, he is clearly one of the best scorers in the league, however, $11.6m is too much.

 

[Nico Cauzuki]

they'll probably have to trade him before he hits ufa because i personally thinks he dips to the states but they can still keep him for now he still has 3 years left

3-way deal


Matthews


Hayton
Kerfoot
1st 2022 (ARI)
1st 2022 (TOR)
2nd 2022 (SJS)


Eichel (1.5m retained)
Soderstrom

Matthews goes to his UFA destination (home) early. Toronto gets Eichel at a slight discount, and Soderstrom, a very good right side defensive prospect. Buffalo gets excellent futures, including 2 1sts in a deep draft, a very good center prospect, a warm body in Kerfoot, and likely a very high 2nd (almost as good as high 1st).

 

[Sm00chy]

Yotes will just wait until free agency.

 

[Platano King]

He only signed a 5 year deal and he finishes his contract as a UFA

Dubas couldn’t even sign him long term but gave Marner and Tavares $11M each? Jesus. Talk about horrible contracts.

 

[GM Armchair]

I’d take him out for a nice seafood dinner and never call him again

 

[Dead Coyote]

13m in 3 years.

 

[SFKingshomer]

No interest from this Kings fan. Great player but do not want to pay the assets or cap it would require.

 

[TheNumber4]

With that moustache, chances are the date doesn’t end after dinner.

 

[cwede]

he'd only go to AZ, they wont move Chychrun, and
- do they even have a Goalie?

 

[Zapp]

Matthews





Seguin
J. Robertson

As a leafs fan, I think trading matthews would be incredibly stupid. But if it were to happen, I’d actually prefer a plethora of futures with Chychrun, then a starting goalie.
