Description
Just a theory. Leafs know the Coyotes are going to offer sheet Matthews next summer to contract the Leafs can't/don't want to match. Hence the reason that that the Tavares signing to get a top flight centre long term. Nylander is resigned at moved to centre. For conspiracy theorists, maybe that's the reason Matthews didn't get a letter.
Yea, the Leafs don't want to lose Matthews, but the do gain cap space for other signings and also get the four first rounder from the Coyotes or other assets if a trade is made.

Well for expect to get two replies....from all the Yotes fans on the CapFriendly. smile
PS. I am serious in my post. It is a legit concern that Matthews could accept a huge offer sheet that the Leaf can't/won't match.

Very interesting thought process/explanation, palhal! I could see this happening, and who knows, maybe even becoming a future trend.

No he won’t. He has already stated he is long term with the leafs and assured Tavares before Tavares would even sign. I don’t see him as a person of no character. I could certainly see him finishing his career in in Arizona. If Toronto was really concerned about that he would have a contract already. Even Bobby Orr has come out and said that Matthews will be with the leafs long term. Please try to tell me you don’t trust Bobby...

I like the hypothetical, leafs are certainly not a bad team and with 4 first rounders that are not lottery protected and a 15m Matthews sucking the yotes dry would probably net us a better return. Wouldn’t 4 first over all picks be nice? Lol.

Its money that makes world going round....the world going round....the world going round

Its what we are wishing, if he will keep his face and his "promises" again depends from many factors.....his agent, his dad, his mom, his dog, his greed, his....you know where i am going
