Proposal: Matthews+ for McDavid

[lanceuppercut75]

Matthews for EP40 + 15OA ++

Build around Nylander and Pettersson’s Swedish connection.

As a Leafs fan, I would try and do something around Matthews + Rielly for EP40 + Hronek + more pieces if possible. Rielly makes sense for Vancouver if Quinn Hughes ends up being moved, as he's also a left-handed puck-mover, and he's a hometown British Columbia guy. Leafs D with McCabe Tanev Hronek OEL Carlo Benoit lacks pack movement, but is otherwise very good-looking. Perhaps look at moving Benoit for a puck mover after.

Matthews gone. Rielly gone.
Keep Nylander, Tavares is a maybe, and I guess the common opinion is to let Marner walk.

You could also use the Marner money to sign somebody for 1 year and then let them walk next summer if you think McDavid will sign here. McDavid Pettersson down the middle. Pipe dream, I know.

is there a gun pointed at Bowman's head?

I wouldn't give up anything for McDavid. I'd just hope to sign him as a UFA for free.

Why, precisely, do fans in Toronto think this is even a remote possibility?

I mean, MAYBE, if we're talking about a 35 year old McDavid who wants to play his last handful of years in front of his friends and family. But why would prime/peak McDavid want to sign in Toronto?

if McDavid becomes a UFA he may have interest in Toronto, you don't know anymore than I do either way if he doesnt wanna come here then he likely won't extend if Leafs traded for him. Id rather try to sign him as a UFA over potentially pay a kings ransom for a rental
