Yes Matthews to Chicago. is possibility in summer of 2024 when he is a UFA. But he is a very unlikely summer trade, due to his expiring contract and high cap.

Yes cant score goals...... trades the youngest and highest goal scorers and keeps the playmaker.

****, if you're going to give Nylander away I guess the Jackets would just have to figure out a way to make the lineup work.

Well if the deal went through (I don't think the Leafs accept), it's only an add 3m to the cap, and Nylander might fetch a nice return at TDL. CBJ would love this deal.

Slap an extension on Matthews. The trade would probably have the 2023 1st and someone like foligno also going to make the cap work. So would be rossi, boldy, foligno 2023 1st and a 2nd for him with an extension. I think that would be a more fair value trade.

As it is neither team would make the trade 1 year of Matthews for all that. Minnesota couldn’t afford it and it would totally throw off the whole cap situation.

take the plyon he all yours no return final sale

I'd even add to that from Columbus's side. It would be good to have another Swede in house for Carlsson, too.
