When does Matthews ask for a trade?

[pigpen65]

He signed a shorter contract so that he wont have to demand a trade. He set himself up nicely.

Why would he ask for a trade

The overreaction is strong, I've seen Leafs posters suggesting to blow the team and rebuild... What the hell.

 

[GirardSpinorama]

Matthews did some amazing things in the series. The bottom line though is that hockey isn't a 1-line sport. Instead of asking for a trade, maybe a few of those guys should have asked for a little less money so that the Leafs could afford the rest of contending team?

I disagree with the players having to give back any money. Why should they? Its the GM's fault for meeting their demands. It all starts at Dubas and the lack of respect he demands from his players and their agents.

I blame whoever started that thread saying Laf was gonna go to Edmonton, Toronto, or Pittsburgh. You ruined hockey!

Yeah Arizona... that'll do it.

He wore Arizona jammie’s when he was a kid kinda like how a certain Toronto captain wore his Leaf pj’s. Not everyone wants to play in the Center of the Universe.

 

[sansabri]

Based on his effort chasing Foligno on the last empty net goal, I don’t think he really cares all that much and will play out the contract at minimum for sure.

lol he was dead tired

Its obvious why you started this thread.

He will be in Toronto for 4 more years and likely many more.

It is? Nobody is allowed to ask a tough question that is asked about other players?

They haven’t won a series with him. His body language looked pretty poor to me. Bad facial expressions. All that stuff.

 

[koyvoo]

I know. The history of this sports post season is littered with true warriors/winners finding incredible reserves of...something in situations like that.

To be fair, he’s very young. At his age, even a guy like Steve Yzerman would still have his leadership quarstioned for the next half dozen or so years of his career.

Guy is more interested about fashion, than hockey. He is part of the problem, in any team.

Cosplaying as Relic from the Beachcombers is not being fashionable.

 

[93LEAFS]

Hmmm seems to me a lot of you TO boys are crapping on Edmonton here. I am merely asking a simple question about Toronto wasting prime Matthews years. That is petty or is that being accurate?

No, its you doing it cause of McDavid threads. Despite the fact Matthews has made the playoffs 3 out of his 4 in the league (and 4 for 4 if you consider this one). McDavid has made it once out of five.

 

[Conspiracy Theorist]

They all are. That's the problem in Leafland.

They traded the one that wasn't, Kadri.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Neither, it is projection about your fear of McDavid leaving

That isn’t the question. When will Matthews be sick of losing? 1 more year? 2 more?

 

[TheNeutralPresident]

A few select posters (who'd you'd expect) either aren't getting the irony/joke or are purposefully not getting it in order to fuel their narratives.

Less "when does McDavid ask for a trade" threads = less "when does Matthews ask for a trade" threads

 

[Rubi]

This thread is rich... coming from the OP.

The answer to your question is: The same day that McDavid asks for one.

 

[WillTheThrill]

Matthews played his ass off for most of this series and anyone who disagrees didn’t watch or is just trolling. He is far from the problem with this team.

 

[Rabid Ranger]

Less than two pages and already a collection of some of the worst takes in recent memories. I remember when this site used to have some substance. It's sad.

The question isn’t about how he played. It’s about when he wants out?

 

[Dessert Nights]

I think the question should be, can Seattle win with McDavid and Matthews?

 

[notbias]

That isn’t the question. When will Matthews be sick of losing? 1 more year? 2 more?

I think Matthews sees a future with Toronto, we have some good prospects, solid forward depth, he has good linemates to play with (got rid of borderline NHLers like Ennis feel bad for whoever his C is), I think he sees potential here, so I don't think he'd leave.

There is your answer

 

[Bgav]

Epic thread lol

 

[Djp]

I blame whoever started that thread saying Laf was gonna go to Edmonton, Toronto, or Pittsburgh. You ruined hockey!

And people are not helping their cases by adding to the fire. During my short time on here one in particular in this and other threads has definitely shown their maturity level, it's sad and discouraging.

He seems pretty upset about the media there. Well enjoy your summer. Your the first guy to actually answer a bonafide question.
