If I were GM it would be very hard to say no to that trade, but the Kings are not giving all that up even for someone like Matthews.

I’d take out Bjornfot then.
This trade wouldn’t happen because I think the kings are on the right track to be a team like COL

What the leafs need is someone like Doughty! (Might need to start cheering for Col) Can dream on what the Leafs should have been!

I’ve been told for the last two months that Quinton Byfield is off-limits. I’m confused 🤔

This is what it looks like for the LA side of the other trade a guy did with TOR.

I’d replace Turcotte with Byfield but that’s a pipe dream. For Mathews kings definitely have to give up Byfield

Mathews > Eichel

Yeah you need those “mean” mentality from the defense. In 2012 kings had a young Doughty but they also had Greene Mitchell. Along with scuderi. I saw no toughness from the D. Or any leaf for that matter.

As much as I hate to say it the Leafs need to learn how to play Bruin hockey!

Kings won't move Byfield. I'm mainly upset that you didn't sign Moore though.

except Kings three best players are over 30 - your young guys got to get good before your good guys get old.

Kings wont trade Byfield for Eichel, why would they trade him for Matthews?

And I’m still hesitant to trade byfield. Only because of team control. Mathews could walk in 3 years

Debatable, Eichel was injured all year so hard to make that call but they were dead even last year

He probably would, LA guts their future to still not be a cup contender makes it kinda meaningless to go for him. Toronto and Edmonton have once again proven why regular season scoring doesn't mean anything in the playoffs
