Description

I'm gonna state the obvious so no one feels duped here
I'm a MTL Fan who just had a thought when discussing what could save ARZ
Only thing i thought was even close is Austin Matthews
This wouldnt be Instant Contender build either its having the 1 Piece to attract UFA's and players who usually including ARZ in there NTC lists. They can build off that with the draft pieces they'll have after this years draft plus what they have in their system now

ARZ in this scenario wins 1st OA pick then trades it to TML for Austin Matthews in a bundle
Logic here is it gives TML another 1st OA pick in return who's on an ELC
ARZ ends the Never Ending Rebuild by securing a player UFA's will actually want to play with

Value is something that will take many posts to bang out
IMO Wright is more of a Toews or maybe Tavares then a Matthews
I think he'll have big outtings as far as Goals go but he's a playmaker while AM is a Goal Scorer
Traditionally that has more value and is just one of many factors to consider

My question is does TML do it ?
I know how much they love Matthews
That said Hometown Kid becomes Captain of his home team
That's the type of change that turns a whole franchise around when were talking AM level talent

I would AT LEAST throw in another high prospect or draft pick. Maybe more…

2 1OA picks + Chychrun wouldn’t be enough.

"The never ending rebuild"

Chayka wasn't rebuilding, he was just incompetent. Armstrong has been GM for 1.5 years and he's actually committed to a rebuild. They're not going anywhere, and they're not going to start trading futures for current help anytime soon.

Matthews has two years left on his contract. Trading for him now basically ensures Arizona won't be competitive during his time there, and he'll walk in FA. If Arizona wants to take a run at Matthews, they can do it in two years when they've been rebuilding for a while and won't have to give up any assets to sign him.

Good of you to do Arizona ACGM. It’s an underrepresented fan group and it’s nice to see people post in their behalf.

Since Leaf fans also seem to be scarce on CapFriendly, I will accept on their behalf.

Well done.
