Pending RFA's can listen to other teams from the draft late June until July 1st, before getting official offers.
That window in the CBA that allows teams to talk to players on other teams, makes this OP suggestion a greater possibility if nothing more than leverage for Matthews in his contract talks with Leafs.
If Arizona is willing to offer >$14 mil then Dubas is in a poor position trying to get Matthews at a discount.
Why would Matthews resign early and not listen and use that leverage?
PS. When JT got higher offers and took the Leafs deal at $11 mil it is seen as giving the Leafs a discount and if Matthews gets a higher offer from Arizona and then takes a little less to stay it will be seen as a discount also.
lol
and McDavid could request a trade. I could step outside and be hit by a bus.
These made up scenarios to suit some terrible narrative are tiring and awful.
