Matthews is going to walk as a FA after 2 seasons anyways. Why not trade him for the absolute max value you can get now and retool it? Thing are obviously not working so try shake up a winning culture. Perfect cap balance for both sides as well.
So they move an elite tendy, a first pair defenseman, a second pair defenseman and their first line center to get Mathews, Holl and a cap dump? Lmao no they wouldn’t.
Lol homer. This is a good trade for both teams. Might actually get some fans into the barclay center
End of the day Mathews, Holl and Murray aren’t worth Barzal, Pelech, Mayfield and Sorokin. You are basically trading two cap dumps and Mathews for four good players. One of whom is a high end starting goalie. Makes no sense dude.
Again he’s phenomenal. But ur legit trading 2 all stars and a goalie who should’ve been an all star for Mathews and two cap dumps. Be realistic here. The isles can’t take on that much trash. How the hell would they resign him?
I mean he’s the best guy in the trade. The next four r islanders. Then there is fifty feet of crap. Then there is Justin Holl. Then another fifty feet of crap. Then Matt Murray.
