Food for thought.

Some may think this menu sucks and the food ain't worth the bite.

What really bites is Matthews' injuries and for me anyways I would trade platters in order to...

1- gain center help

2- gain two players that can both collect as many points and contribute (if not more) as we'd be giving up.

3-add leadership and playoff knowledge galore


Trade:
c-Auston Matthews -$13,250,000
c-Easton Cowen - $904,667

For:
Sidney Crosby - $8,700,000
Evgeni Malkin - $6,100,000


Yes, it is a fantasy and somewhat unbeilavable considering the magnitude of a big dealio like this.

But, if all three parties of players and gms accepted this, I myself as a Leaf fan would re-adjust for a two year window thinking we are better off capturing a cup with this trade.

Merry Christmas All ( good thing for the trade freeze or this may have been done already lol)

as great as sid an gino are, we would benefit more from skilled mid ranged players than superstars. players like lehkonen, burokovski, and buchnevich. like serious, if you traded out matthews and kampf. you have enough cap space for all 3 of those players.

Hrenklin - You are trying to trade three players from three different teams. Even though I do admire some qualities of hose players mentioned, imo Sid and Geno would still add more for this team right now if Matthews was to be traded.

I cant see a scenario where a team would pick him up, give us a rubbishload of draft picks and cap space in order to scoop three different players from three different teams.


Cros is still clicking and accumulating points while be one of the top notch captains to ever hit the ice and imo would even feel a little refreshed and maybe even hungrier representing the Leafs and able to lead the way. Add Geno also to the line up and the team pretty much balances out 1-4 lines nicely.

Anyways lol Matthews probably would be the one to nix the deal the way I figure it for this dream trade scenario.

Pittsburgh says no thank you.

If trading Matthews I would rather something built around Cozens and Power or Byram. Not sue which side adds but I think that leaves a long term windows open.
