"The never ending rebuild"
Chayka wasn't rebuilding, he was just incompetent. Armstrong has been GM for 1.5 years and he's actually committed to a rebuild. They're not going anywhere, and they're not going to start trading futures for current help anytime soon.
Matthews has two years left on his contract. Trading for him now basically ensures Arizona won't be competitive during his time there, and he'll walk in FA. If Arizona wants to take a run at Matthews, they can do it in two years when they've been rebuilding for a while and won't have to give up any assets to sign him.
