Bedard? That would be cool, although I'd rather him go to Anaheim, Vancouver, or the Jackets. Matthews? Unlikely, although for that money maybe. 3 D on the roster? Not a chance lol

No, matthews isnt playing in an echl rink for a tire fire

I wasn't trying to figure out the Coyotes D 2 years in the future my guy. The question was basically if Bedard goes to AZ and the leafs continue to not do anything in the playoffs does he want to go home

If the leafs don't make a good run this year and Mathews's full NMC kicks in next season things could get bad. that being said.
If Mathews goes to the market I have heard on a couple of tsn and Sportsnet shows that there are multiple teams already getting ready for that and LA would be one of the big ones there, Kopitar retires or takes a lesser role, use his $10 mill plus a little extra and then get Mathews to slide in at like 13 or 14 x7. You would think he would be happy living in LA, a better org, and is still close to home.

Everyone says Matthew "aint playing on college ice". By the time he hits FA, if Arizona for sure is building a new building then that's where he would play for the majority of his career. Team looks like they are on the UP, hometown, team has the cap. I don't see why it cant happen if he hits FA.

He’d be playing in mullett for a year, with a team far more likely to win than the one he’s leaving behind. Dude spends his summers here, the literal worst time to live in Arizona, it’s hilarious how much people dismiss how much he loves this place.

Most players spend their summers away from where their team is, like 90 guys from around the league spend their summers in toronto, that means nothing.
What's hilarious is people think that anyone wants to play in arizona, not because of arizona itself, but because the team.
Cant keep an nhl rink, cant pay their own bills, cant draft or develop.
There is a small chance matthews might leave in free agency but he's not going to arizona

I can very much see this happening if the Leafs keep failing to win a cup. Matthews game translates very well to the Western Conference. Matthews immediately makes AZ a marketable powerhouse and a contender. Playing with Keller on the wing...

I didn't even think of LA but that's a great choice and honestly a really good fit, and he would love the LA style
