Friendly reminder that Matthews has never actually scored 50 goals
Of course there’s no way you could know that as you aren’t the gm of either team.Obviously Dallas would never do that trade. They would be turned down flat. They would sure like to though.
can't trade him in year 5 if he doesn't like the location .!can't resign him until year 5 so than it's out of the teams control . seriously diminishes value because he may only be a rental wanting to test free agency . dubas and shanahan really thought this one throughAs a neutral observer, why would Toronto trade him? Any trade they make, unless it's for McDavid, the Leafs give up the best player in the deal. They aren't rebuilding and any team trading for him would have to gut their core or pipeline or both.
The only way the Leafs should trade him is as a rental if he won't sign or they want to tear it down again.
I have to say, Leaf Fans are always great entertainment.Rantanen is half the player Matthews is..
The offer from Avs has to be Mack, Rantanen and a first rd pick
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).
Seriously?? Those guys had good years but to flat out call them 1st liners is a bit ambitious.Yes, seriously! There is no way in hell Toronto would be stupid enough to turn down a 1C and 1W + 7.6M cap for Matthews. But, Dallas would never do the trade
Dallas get:
Matthews 11.6M UFA 2024
Toronto get:
Hintz 3.2M RFA 2023 Big 1C and PPG+ 2021
Robertson 0.795M RFA 2022 1st liner 0.9PPG
+ capsavings 7.6M !!!
Fiala, Kaprizov for Matthews. Or Rossi + Kaprizov.
Tor:
Matthews
NSH:
Josi

2nd 2023
Forsberg (w/extension)
Fabbro
Tomasino
Duchene w/$2m retained

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

I think Arizona is gearing up to make a push for Matthews in 3 years when he is UFA. Get tons of picks this year and next and try to be on the rise in 3 years time. If I am them, everything I do now it is to be good in 3 years time or at least a team that is definitely on the rise with tons of prospects. I’d keep Keller around to help convince Matthews to play there as they are friends. I think this is the approach that Arizona has taken given all the picks they acquired this year and next - to hopefully be an attractive team on the ice in 3 years time. Try to get Bedard or Wright this year or next. Build through the draft for 3 years and then bring in Matthews as UFA
Friendly reminder that this doesn't actually mean anything in regards to his talent or abilities. He paced for 55 in 2019-2020 and 65 in 2021, both of which were shortened seasons due to COVIDFriendly reminder that Matthews has never actually scored 50 goals

You dont justify a Matthews trade with a primary reason being cap savings. Not a good deal.
"Get in the car Auston! We were just offered Roope Hintz!"I`m not justifying - I just know Dubas would gladely drive Matthews to the airport if such an offer was on the table! Thats a deal though that never will fall through. Dallas doesnt have a stupid enough GM.
Thread is pointless as leaf fans will say no to every trade

And Dubas wasn't even able to lock him in for 8 years with that big of a contract...Because Marner gets paid just under $11m, I forget that Matthews gets paid almost double MacKinnon and $3m more than Draisaitl.

You guys will probably re-re-build soon. Or is it re-re-re-re-build???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.
