Calgary Trades
Tkachuk
Monahan
2nd Round Pick 2022 (Fla's Pick)

Toronto Trades
Matthews
Kerfoot
Dermott

Probably never happen but for fun I have put this proposal out there.

Calgary is getting the best player in this proposal, plus overall better depth adding a 3rd Line Centre in Kerfoot, and a probable mid of the pack Defenceman on there Defense with Dermott.

The Leafs in this proposal do a few things, it gives them 2 Top 6 forwards to fill out the Top 6, it opens the door for Liljegren to play fulltime this upcoming season, and it clears enough Cap Space to be a little more flexible if they want to add during the season.
Plus adding a 2nd Round Pick only helps for the future.

Thoughts ?

It'd take more than Matthews and a couple players nobody wants to get Tkachuk and Monahan.

Tkachuk isn't being shopped but Monahan is.

Besides Toronto wouldn't do it anyhow.

Calgary would be interested in a deal with the main pieces being Monahan or Gaudreau for Nylander or Marner (with retention) or maybe even Reilly.

No from Toronto. I like Tkachuk but him and Matthews are different tiers.
Put it this way, Matthews can score more goals than Tkachuk can get points.
Monahan boosts him a bit but isnâ€™t a huge game changer.

If anyone goes itâ€™ll be Marner.

Toronto says not even close, and Calgary probably is happier standing pat too.

I can't stand Matthews, but even i have to say he's on a whole different level than Tkachuk. Unfortunately, he's a top 10 talent, maybe even higher., he gets a way better package than that.

Monahan is a throw in scrap in a Mathews trade. Heâ€™s not even a supporting piece. If you want a player like Mathews or Mackinnon ( ones younger the other is currently better ) youâ€™re giving a young 2 c, top dman and 1st+

Think Sturtzel, Chabot and 2nd for Mathews. Heâ€™s that good. Iâ€™m not even being bias thatâ€™s what Iâ€™d ask for Drais, Mackinnon, a healthy Eichel, etc.
