The Sabres have pretty damn good young players they going to be good for sure
U know of all the rumors linking Matthew's to Arizona.. his childhood team and all... Much like the Tavares situation actually, the supposed reason Dubas gave such a contract was because The Coyotes wanted to send a massive OS.. the stars mentioned above didn't have those rumors around them so their situations r actually pretty different... where there's smoke there's fire....... honestly hope he stays... been a while since the cup has been in Canada
there are no 'rumours' linking Matthews to Arizona, that's just people who are overzelously hopeful that he will leave so they can laugh at the leafs.
Tavares is literally the only superstar who has 'gone home' as a free agent while not well past their prime. he was the anomaly and you can point to literally every other super star that was not traded by the team that drafted them and say "super stars stay with the team that drafted them"
There never was an offersheet from arizona, again, people wanted it to happen, but it never did. Dubas signed it because he wanted Matthews to play for the Leafs and Matthews wanted the change to make even more money on his third deal, you know like Crosby, Kane, Toews, etc etc etc
The only smoke is the stuff people are blowing up their own butts
