Quoting: Lyle_Bubas
Matthew's literally has such a ludicrously high ceiling though, like he could become a recurring 65 goal scorer, he's already basically the best goal scorer in the league besides Ovechkin, and he just turned 23. One year of Laine or Pionk is like, not even remotely worth it + hellebuyck. Also, Nylander is like... not a centre, I'd be really uncomfortable with our centre depth here
Not to mention he's developing a two way game, he's getting better defensively, led the league in shot blocks and takeaways among forwards?
No way am I ever trading him, you simply don't trade guys like that
People actually think WPJ are getting favored In this deal.
Trading Matthews a top 10 player in the NHL
Is Dumb; unless he asks to leave, or isn’t gonna re-sign. He’s A top 5 Center(McDavid, Sid, MaCK, Draisaitl and Matthews 5th, IMO).
Or unless you are blowing it up. And then you are getting, their top young all-star caliber player in the NHL, their top prospect. And 2 1st round picks. And you could probably add another prospect too. And every team has those assets and none of them are A.Matthews or gonna be him.
