that's a big ol no from toronto

no from rangers

Pretty sure its a no from everyone. Nashville isn't getting near enough for what they are giving up, Rangers would be like 8 million over the cap once you factor in bonuses and i'm sure both Nash and NYR love the idea on retaining salary on a guy for 5 years.

Actually no. Laf comes with 3M in bonuses so now all bonuses could be pushed to next year. We would have to bury Smith if we can’t move him though. Either way I don’t want this

Stop trading Matthews.

I dont care how good he is, I don't want locker room cancer Duchene.

Ill keep matthews and holl tyvm.

Ill take Matthews through his prime with the likelihood of signing him far beyond along with a serviceable D in Holl over Duchene and Ennis in their declining years thank you very much.

Wow cool beans. Audacious and interesting. 👍

NYR likely and NSH would be thrilled with this but...

I just feel like with the two big names a third similar asset/s would be needed, which Nashvile have sadly never had, maybe an Askarov/Saros/FF package?

Not a terrible return though whatsoever for Toronto

Just not enough to offset the two behemoths of value

Wait what did he do out of curiosity

Did he play his beloved country music too loud

Which in nashville would a positive boon

Nobody has ever said anyhting positive sbout the guy.

Why has he switched teams four times in two years? I don't think any of his teammates like him...

But hey, I havent met him so i could be wrong. He just has a bad reputation IMO.

The value is fine for TOR, but not sure why they'd want to trade Matthews - Marner or Nylander would get moved first, if it came to that.

Don't see the point in it for NYR. Can they even absorb that much extra salary?

Really confusing for NSH. Destroys their center and defensive depth. Doing this trade would make them a guaranteed lottery team, but giving up those picks means not getting to benefit from that.
