I like it, but only because we have Tavares now and that is highway robbery for us imo.

If both teams wouldn't do it.....probably means the value is fair for both.Neither would the Leafs

You wouldn't trade with Columbus for that package? As much as I love Matthews, a trade involving the Leafs acquiring Jones, Dubois and Andersen and a first? That's a ton of value coming back to the leafs.Neither would the Leafs
Staal is from Thunder Bay.If we were to trade Kadri, Staal is the man i'd go for in the summer, see if we could tie him to a couple of years. Certainly be a good 3C man if he wanted to end his career in his home town on a competitive team.
We are trading Matthews, and that's final!!!!I should put this thread on ignore. Every time I look at it the proposals just make my head spin. I presume everyone here is heartily using the OCS.

So, the shine has worn off of our new toy already?Lets make a trade already. Do something, so boring.
Haven't been on the boards since Sunday afternoon. Night of and day after a loss here is unbearable so I tend to stay away until it hopefully calms down. Fill me in so I don't have to check the spazzoid threads and I understand the mood going forward, do we all hate Matthews even more now? Don't care if it is yes or no, just want to know what to expect until he scores again.
What are the Leafs’ best tradeable assets?
GMKD already dealt his 2019 first-round pick for Muzzin, along with two middling futures (Carl Grundstrom and Sean Durzi). He’s not dealing from the league’s strongest prospect pool, despite the work of former super scout Mark Hunter, but he does have some intriguing options.
The most valuable among those?
1. Rasmus Sandin (almost untouchable)
2. Timothy Liljegren
3. 2020 first-round pick
4. Jeremy Bracco
5. 2019 second-round pick
6. Other prospects
The more realistic option could be to try and deal off the roster. The Leafs’ cap crunch next season is going to mean they’ll lose established players for 2019-20 regardless, so Dubas could get out ahead of those decisions and move a Connor Brown or Nikita Zaitsev in the next two weeks rather than waiting for the summer.
That potentially solves the “cap space” issue and the “what do we trade” issue in a combined effort. But it’s a fair question what, if any, value players like that have around the league. (Zaitsev, in particular, may need a sweetener added into any deal to get another GM to stomach the cap hit and term he has remaining.)
You wonder if that could make someone like Johnsson or Kapanen available, if there’s a high-end right-shot D coming the other way. Given the seasons they’ve had, the Leafs are going to need to squeeze them hard on their RFA deals. And other teams will be intrigued.
The Leafs’ top targets are going to be any and all right D who (a) can plausibly play in the top four for multiple seasons, (b) have term remaining, (c) are on teams looking to retool their rosters for next year.
In other words, any right-shot D playing significant minutes on a struggling club is a credible option. Brett Pesce, Radko Gudas, Nick Jensen (a pending UFA) and Chris Tanev are four obvious names that fit the description, but there are more candidates around the league.
IMO, Matthews plays like a sniper, instead of a dominant 2-way centre and you don't pay 11.6m/yr for a sniper. In many ways, he's play as a 2-way centre has regressed instead of improve. This could be due to injuries, but it's definitely concerning.
