Dubas final trade Nylander for ADB 1 for 1

Toronto needs to trade Matthews. Blow up the core 4 when he only has a year left and replenish the prospect cupboards.

Is this a serious post? Honestly can’t tell. Im not against trading nyalnder if they can’t resign him IF the return is great. (Which it should be)
How is trading nylander help pay Matthews in 2024? You could just have another shot at it next year and let him walk before you trade him for not much return.

Also in general fans, media, whoever need to understand the leafs are in the best position cap wise to sign matthews. Anyone can insert the “leafs are in cap hell” reply here if they like but Leafs are already paying matthews 11.6, how much more is he gonna get? 13? 14? They only need to pay him 2-3 million more than they are now, the cap will prob go up that on its own by 24. Any other team needs to free up 13-14 million as most likely he want to sign with a team that is up against the cap already.
Cap will never be an issue in resigning Matthews, he just needs to want to stay. JT deal up the year after he would sign so it could be tight for the first season then 11 million comes off.

Why sign Bert and trade for McGinn and lose Nylander? Besides no team is getting Bert for 4.75 mil AAV after the playoffs he just had. 10 points in 7 games.

The trolls will be praying for this forever. Get a better hobby

Wisdom and good sense don't really drive people's reasoning on here.

What is this team?!?!?!?!?

dont do drugs kids

Serious question, why not trade him? This is based on FLA winning the series of course, but obv this team cant go anywhere as is and Matthews can and probably will walk in a year(if he thinks that he cant win in Toronto). Toronto is a good enough team to make it to the playoffs so its not like he would be a TDL trade bait.

Can’t go anywhere as is? Top regular season team for years, took down the 3 time cup finalist. Why would he think he can’t win in Toronto compared to somewhere else?
Should Edmonton trade Leon and/or mcdavid if they lose to Vegas?

This is the first time he made it out of the first round...I'm not pissing on TML, I'm just raising a question on if he would want to re-sign as this offseason is the only time TML can trade him if he refuses to re-sign

Ok fair enough. Honestly not worth discussing because his full no move kicks in July 1, same day he can resign so if he wants to wait the year out he can.
Honestly can’t see him doing that in this market tho, I think he stays but not on an 8 year deal, feels like he will want to re up for another 3 or 4 years so he can do the 8 year deal when he’s older/cap is higher.
