So this is hypothetical, but wondering if this is fair value wise?

Leafs trade

Mathews - sign and trade

Coyotes trade

Bedard (if they win lottery) cooley, chychrun

Thoughts ?

It's not fair for Arizona. They're better off keeping the young cost controlled player and Matthews has no incentive to sign before he becomes a UFA, unless he's staying in Toronto.

If Matthews is intent on going to Arizona, then they just wait and sign him as a UFA. Matthews doesn't do anything for them next year anyways.

I think its an overpayment.

Why trade for Matthews when he's going to sign there as a free agent when his contract is up?

Can get the 8th year with a sign and trade. His NMC kicks in July 1 so would have to happen before then.

Huge overpayment. Bedard could end up being on par or better than Matthews, so why give up Cooley and Chychrun on top of that. Arizona would be better off keeping the younger players.

Bedard will be better than Mathews, and probably be better than McDavid.
Kid might be Gretzky 2.0. I haven't seen a kid with that vision since Gretzky. Although fast, not McDavid fast. just a special player. Hes generational. list will go like this.

Morenz
Richard.
Howe
Hull
Orr
Lafleur
Gretzky
Lemuiex
Bit of a dark period ( maybe Jagr?
Crosby
McDavid
Bedard.

He’s got a lot of flaws that will hopefully get sorted- Poor leader, selfish, doesn’t play defence, not a winner.
