Sujet: Trade Matthews
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CoachCoach</b></div><div>MM could be the next Getzlaf, or could bottom out as a number 2 center. Drysdale is already a top 4 d and could be top pair guy for the next 10-15 years. Gibson is better than Murray. Anaheim is still in rebuild mode (towards the back end) and is also giving up three second round picks.

Matthews is a top 5 talent. But does he want to re-sign in Anaheim? If he does, what supporting cast does he have? Does Anaheim have pieces in place around AM?

You say underpayment because you believe Matthews to be the second best player on the planet. Not everyone shares that opinion. My personal list is: McDavid, Makar, Vasy, Mack, Matthews.

Some may say having 10-15 years of a top center and defenseman is worth more than having a top 5 player for 8 years.</div></div>

couldnt have said it better myself

where we disagree is I dont think Nylander has a fit in toronto.
they need a different type of player in the top 6...maybe its not dubois but i can tell you it isnt Nylander either.
every playoff team that goes deep has a PF that plays with an edge. Nylander is a skilled winger and his pt production always been great, but he doesnt have the edge you need to go far in the playoffs.
Dubois is available and can play wing as well as C. He has lots of room to grow and under Tavares can be the Next 2C by the time his contract is ready to sign. Tavares (as good as he is) has lost his speed (never had much to begin with) and already has a hard time keeping up to the 200ft game a center needs. The question is also how comfortable are you running the same game plan every season?
A shake up in the top 6 is necessary IMO, and Dubois is worth the gamble.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMBL</b></div><div>All Dubois has to his game at this time is offense, so he's no will value him as a number one but if he's getting 80pts and develops as a 200-ft C in those two years, he's going to be valued as a 1C. Now if he's not any of that he'll probably take 7m even with Toronto but why would they want him to just do a scoring winger's job? The only way they sign Dubois for less than Nylander is if Nylander is a 10m+ guy or Dubois is hardly a 2C. Would be better off converting Nylander to a C, than paying up for Dubois just to play him wing or be a 3C/top 6 winger. <strong>In short, either Dubois grows into a 1C and commands big money or he stays worse than Nylander and the Leafs also give the Jets Robertson for free. The whole point of the trade according to what you said was to save money, no? </strong></div></div>

Dubois would make a great 2C in Toronto, WIlliam Nylander is not a center in the NHL. i would say you are probably paying them both the same amount of money except with Dubois you can have him play center.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMBL</b></div><div>PLD will want that from TOR, if he's not getting paid like a 1C why would he sign in TOR? He said he will test FA in 2-years. Do you think he will only have 60pts as he develops and just the fact that he will be playing in Toronto with Matthews? It's either he will command a lot or they lose the trade, either way he'll probably be off the team in two years. 7m would be a discount (or overpay) and he would probably only take that in MTL.</div></div>

i suppose my answer to your question is...which team values him as a number one C? To me, his comparables are Norris and Suzuki.... they both make under 8M.
at 9.5M your looking at 100pt players. If Dubois becomes 100pt player, it seems like you won that trade by a landslide so what is the issue?
