Arizona should definitely wait another 4 years if this is the cost.
That said, I think there could be a 3 way trade involving Eichel to Toronto (cheaper cap hit than Matthew's with more term), Matthews to Arizona (get their local star) and a bunch of young pieces to Buffalo (rebuild - the fans would probably be furious but honestly buffalo is screwed up).
The picks and prospects would have more value in a trade to rebuilding team like buffalo than a team that's competing like Toronto, which is why in the hypothetical scenario where Arizona trades for Matthews I think it make sense.
