Core Wants OutShake it up

The Kings won't even talk with you until you can get Matthews to 8 years with you prior and retain half or take back Petersen. Also, we are out if you can't get this figured out before we reup Gavrikov.

Otherwise, that is too much of an overpay for a rental. This trade has been beat to death and it doesn't work until you know what Matthews wants, which wont be clear anytime soon.

So you expect the leafs to sign Matthews to a 8 year contract at likely 12million + and for the leafs to retain 50%??

Brutal take

Retain half XD

What is wrong with reading comprehension north of the border all of a sudden?

We don't "expect" anything, and that word doesn't occur in the first comment. The point being made, which is the same one we've been unsuccessfully trying to din into Maple Leafs fans since the Game II:5 loss, is that any Matthews to Los Angeles trade is impossible -- not unrealistic, impossible -- unless certain conditions are met, which no sane Toronto adherent, front office or fan, would do.

Not so much reading comprehension but the fact that you seem to be illiterate.

The chance of an Auston Matthews sign and trade is highly unlikely. It seems as if you LA fans are expecting him for peanuts. I am sure that kings management would take the chance on acquiring a 60 goal scoring center as it is no secret that a team in California would be highly attractive to Matthews.
