Matthews is a young phenom and the Franchise player of this team, so why woud you trade him? and with that trade value?

Why the hell would we trade the best centre this team has seen since Sundin for a return no where near his value. Strome is unproven and everyone else is slightly above average. Only a barn owl would make that trade. Makes zero sense

Doesn’t make sense for either team. Montreal has been rolling lately, and losing basically a good portion of your future top-six would put them in a bad spot again. For Toronto, they are losing a stud franchise center (the value is okay) and I don’t think Dubas would want to break that center core of Matthews, Tavares, and Kadri ever. That center core is going to be what’s key to win throughout the playoffs.

Im sad he deleted the trade. What was it?
