No.

[Leafs87]

I figured it would be something along the lines of either Matthews to edm or McDavid to Toronto

Neither will happen

 

[Kelly]

Don't even.

 

[russ4king]

Never going to happen.

You want Matthews...would cost you McDavid.




Didnt think so.



And that's the end of that.

 

[SB84]

Not realistic. Drai, Nurse, unprotected 1st would be close value though.

Matthews

The only player they would trade Mathews for at least on this board, is Mcjeesus, I know that's ridiculous, but this is a team that hasn't had a player like Mathews since Sundin, and that was a long time ago.

 

[Menzinger]

Not realistic. Drai, Nurse, unprotected 1st would be close value though.

Even then Leafs would likely not make the deal.

No GM wants to be known as the guy who traded away a franchise player for a package of lesser pieces

 

[KGL]

Yeah, that's not enough.

 

[Hurt]

The only player that I see Matthews being traded for is McDavid and that's obviously not happening. So no.

 

[The Thin White Duke]

Drai + Larsson would make me think but realistically there's no deal remotely close to fair value that would go over well.

 

[SB84]

Even then Leafs would likely not make the deal.

Neither GM touches this, obviously, just speaking strictly in terms of value.

 

[sansabri]

Lol. As if Edmonton is the one team in the NHL that needs yet another top center.

Talk about being greedy.

 

[spader]

This is very entertaining. There's absolutely no chance this would ever happen.

 

[garyturner3]

This response sums it up. The OP and everyone on here knows exactly how this thread would play out so what's the point in even creating it? Lock it up.

 

[AvroArrow]

Never happening. EDM doesn't need anymore young C's anyways, remember they just drafted Pulju who is very likely going to be McDavids future winger.

Matthews

Matthews is awesome but Mcdavid had Yakapov looking like an allstar. Makes no sense for the oilers..and likely makes no sense for TOR

 

[oilsands]

This would be kind of like a Patrick Laine + Trouba + 1st round pick trade for McDavid - the value is there, but just wouldn't be done for optics.

Also, I would think Draisaitl has more value than RNH now, and I love RNH.

 

[TheKrebsCycle]

Toronto passes. No idea what Nurse becomes, a 2nd isn't that enticing and downgrading from Matthews to Drai is illogical. The Leaf have their Franchise centreman, they are loath to deal him beyond a ridiculous overpayment.

 

[KidLine93]

Toronto says no since they need a #1 C

but lets be real. Every single winger who has played with McDavid has looked like an all-star. Patrick Maroon and friggen Yakupov were near point per game players when they played with McDavid.

Eberle's point totals went from very sub par to over a ppg with McDavid.

He doesn't need a superstar winger. he needs a guy who can either finish or win board battles

 

[Draiskull]

well the funny part is that OP is a Leafs fan so NO the Oilers fans are not being greedy here..

 

[Homesick]

The Oilers finally have some depth. Lets kill it with another high end forward

 

[McNurse]

So the leafs get their first franchise center since sundown and just trade him away for scraps? Not going to happen.

 

[BB88]

Neither team needs this trade.

..scraps

the proposed trade isn't enough for Matthews, but calling Draisatl, RNH, Nurse scraps is rather ignorant.
