Um, I was referring to the two who currently have NMCs.

I realized that I don't recall Tavares ever standing out in a bad way in last years playoffs. So I watched games 5-7 highlights and checked game stats from the games, and Tavares line wasn't on for even one highlight of a chance against. Not once... It's every line but his where a goal against is scored or Campbell makes a big save. Tavares also had three goals, and 1 primary assist in games 5-7. All at critical times in the games. One of those goals was called back. He was also in the highlights for scoring chances. Tavares was one of the three stars of both game 6 and game 5.

Matthews line was on for the game tying goal by Tampa in game 5 (they scored the winning though), on for the game winning goal against in game 6 and on for the game winning goal against in game 7.

Why would we want to move on from two of the best players in last year's critical games?

By the same logic, without focusing on only a couple of games, if you want to trade two of the top five, how about the two least effective in last year's playoffs?

Again, it would be the two with NMCs.

And why are you talking about Matthews?
