Anyone who thinks Matthews doesn't bring back a truly earth shattering return just wants to see the Leafs burn.

He’s a rental 🤣 ur gonna get a first and a couple B prospects.

with what leverage? say matthews doesn't want to sign back or he wants 13 AAV the leafs might just have to let him walk

They could probably get a 2nd or 3rd round pick from doing a sign and trade with his preference of a destination.

Only on caofriendly.

Matthews has no reason to go home when there’s a decent chance his hometown team won’t be in his hometown in a few years. And why are we trading our hometown kid who’s entering his prime years and wants to be a Leaf?

he dosent want to be a leaf.

Ok I agree with you but that’s not where he will want to go. Vegas and LA are right there and they’re far better teams.

CHI declines.

Do you not understand he has 1 year left 🤣 he’s gonna break the bank as a UFA only in your dreams is he getting some big return. Why are leaf’s fans so dense

3rd liner with grit - "that's worth a 1st and top prospect"

Nylander a 27 year old point per game player - "as a rental! He's worth a late 1st and a b prospect"

This is dumb

If you want a realistic return go and propose Marner to a team that needs top line wingers and not just the team that has shiny toys you want.

1. not a leafs fan bud 2. Columbus has shown interest in Marner before and who does Columbus have after Gaudreau and Laine?

It's amazing that people like you can't put it together that they were interested in Marner *before* they had Laine and Gaudreau. You can't spend $30M on 3 wingers and be successful. It's simply not a recipe for success. The Jackets are also not even close to being a compete now team and Marner will be walking after 2 years. They're not trading for Marner.

Since you are a Hawks fan, you should do the Marner trade for the Hawks since they just lost Kane.
The equivalent of what you proposed for the Jackets would be something like:
Reichel, Rinzel, Katchouk, 2023 2nd (CHI), 2024 1st (CHI), 2025 2nd (CHI) for 2 years of Marner.

Would you make that trade?

Murray's base salary is $8,000,000 next season. A deal, more realistically, would be:

Murray
'23 1st (BOS)

for

'23 3rd (DAL)
