I know Matthews is not changing his team easily, but if the deal was there, would both teams take it?
Yeahmy first thought was - does florida has a 2026 first?
Seems like a no from both sides. Nevertheless, could be a good move from Leafs end.No from Leafs
Why in the world would Florida consider this...I know Matthews is not changing his team easily, but if the deal was there, would both teams take it?
Barkov is signed for another 6 years.
Matthews is making more and signed for another 4 years.
Florida throwing in a 1st!??! No thanks. I consider these players on a similar tier, so the trade doesn't make much sense for Florida.
You consider someone who has never scored 40 goals and only surpassed 90 points once to be in the same tier as a guy who has twice scored 60 or more goals and twice exceeded 100 points? Seriously???

I give Matthews the edge but they are way closer than you seem to think. Despite only hitting 90 points once (6 years ago) Barkov has paced 90+ points in 4 of the last 5 seasons and 100+ in one of them. That's what happens when you miss 10-15 games a season. Also the fact that Barkov is the hands down best 2-way player in the league closes the gap quite a lot tooYou consider someone who has never scored 40 goals and only surpassed 90 points once to be in the same tier as a guy who has twice scored 60 or more goals and twice exceeded 100 points?

Yes.You consider someone who has never scored 40 goals and only surpassed 90 points once to be in the same tier as a guy who has twice scored 60 or more goals and twice exceeded 100 points? Seriously???
Maybe not in a vacuum, but situationally yes.Is it really that lopsided suggestion?
I think so. Maybe not so much for others.Is it really that lopsided suggestion?
