It would need to be a huge package

1 or 2 more prospect (1 Turcotte or 2 of the following: Helge, Spence, Kapari)
Damn LA has a ton of good prospects. They have done a great job! To me their team looks very good. Biggest hole I see is a proven top pair left D. If one of their prospects turn into that OR they trade for one, this team will be dangerous. They should already be very good.
Matthews would clearly be the best player on this team... but at what cost. It seems like what Vegas did when aquiring Pietreangelo and Eichel. Both amazing pieces but it took away from what they already had going for them.
I don't see this as a fit - YET. Once Kopitar is done with his contract and extends to be a lesser role on the team, Matthews makes a ton of sense.
I should also mention that Leafs wouldn't trade Matthews at all (I think we all know this) At least at this point in time. - Just playing with the hypothetical situation.
