I wouldn’t even do McAvoy for Matthews because we can’t afford to lose Charlie, let alone send him to a division rival. This isn’t a knock on Matthews at all and the OP has great value, we just really need McAvoy where he is at this point time more than (almost) any pieces we could get via trade.

McAvoy just isn't available. The Bruins and Leafs are in direct competition so in order for either of them to deal a player like McAvoy they are likely to only accept a deal that makes their team clearly the better team and with both insisting on that happening, no deal would ever get done.
Really eh? So we're going by small sample sizes and preseason games now? Move along...
I can tell you he is an excellent influence on his game and the McAvoy has pretty much rejuvenated Chara's career. It's a relationship that has been mutually beneficial.

I'm sorry but your GM would be fired on the spot if he said no on a McAvoy and Matthews trade.
As for the OP, that's way too much value coming from the Leafs but would understand Bruin fans saying no since it's more so quantity for quality

Neither side does the deal in the OP
McAvoy is too important to the Bruins future and thats way too much from the Leafs

How is it "way too much"? I haven't seen a deal on these boards involving Nylander where Leafs fans feel like it isn't "way too much".
It would be very hard to argue McAvoy not being the number one piece in this whole deal, and not by an insignificant margin. Add to that a kid who looks to be a top 6 and the value is more than fair.

Bruins should not be trading McAvoy....period.

A top line winger, a 2017 first rounder, a likely top 4 dman, and another 1st is "way too much"
McAvoy>Nylander>>>>>>>Dermott/Donato then Liljegren and 1st?

Dermott is small sample size, and liljegren is no sample size.. yet ive seen a leaf fan claim liljegren will be > mcavoy... or that mcavoy is overated
Really no point for boston to move him to toronto at all.... unless matthews is in deal and even then its questionable

kid looks like he will be but over the years I have learned that HF LOVES to proclaim young D men as the next great one.
An other question if Chara was 25 would you entertain this trade?

I laughed at the first part of this. Dermott is a likely top four d man but Donato is a small sample size. Makes sense in leaf land for sure.
McAvoy is far too valuable to the Bruins to make this deal, even with all the value coming back from the TML.
Also - I would trade McAvoy for Matthews I think. I wouldn't think about any other trade with the Leafs if he weren't involved though. Aka, there won't be a trade with McAvoy.

I agree he isn't that good yet, but it would surprise 0 people in Boston and in everywhere else in the NHL If he was very soon.
