Speculation: Matthews to California team for two 1sts?

[Cas]

Yeah, because since then he’s become a generational goal scorer behind on 3 guys in the history of the sport. And ahead of Ovechkin.

Maybe we should sign Ovechkin, he'll cost nothing in trade.

Or maybe just sign Gretzky. He scored 92 goals age 21, Michael Misa will never match that.

Yeah, because since then he’s become a generational goal scorer behind on 3 guys in the history of the sport. And ahead of Ovechkin.

And since then he's become a 0.88 ppg scorer (T-66th in the league) and still carries a cap hit of $13.25M (2nd in the league). He's soon to be 29 years old coming off a season where he missed 22 games due to a major knee injury which required surgery to correct following a season where he missed 15 games with rumors of back and wrist injuries. He's not the guy he was in 2023 and doesn't carry that value.

Sharks would be better off keeping the picks and sticking to the rebuild

 

[trellaine201]

“Leafs turned it down” comment was enough for me lol, Matthews is the one in control here.

 

[Schennanigans]

Not a trade that would be made this year. Zero chance unless it’s too stupid not to do it. The price is definitely more than two 1st’s.

 

[34]

So…Brady got THREE 1sts and a 2nd. That means that Auston Matthews would get four 1st’s and a few 2nds.

 

[centipede2233]

I think a lot are overvaluing Matthews. 1st - did you not just watch the Carolina hurricanes with no superstars and the highest caphit of 9.5 mil just win the cup. One nhl player doesn’t impact the game like other sports. 2nd Matthews health and it’s likely chronic 3rd Matthews best days are behind him. Go check superstars like Crosby, Malkin, Kane, Ovie,, they all had their best years before 25. 4th and maybe more importantly Matthews has underwhelmed every playoff year. You think after 10 years Matthews will all of a sudden be a playoff monster, good luck.

This post is pretty stupid seeing what Brady Tkachuk just got as the significantly worse player who was a ghost in the playoffs.

 

[Dwagz]

Matthews at 45% is better than Hischier at 253% which is better than the theoretical ceiling of Michael Misa which is 89% of that.

The numbers don't lie.

Sure thing Scott Steiner. Close this thread pronto; huge amounts of trolling

 

[KevinRedkey]

LA makes more sense than San Jose IMO

Good luck with that...

 

[SanJoseRedditor]

Matthews scores 40 goals in his sleep. A healthy motivated Matthews with a new coach and he's back to 60 goals. Find anyone who can do that, u can't. So go enjoy misa and his 9 goals.

Not a single Sharks fan has ever proposed Misa, Smith or the 2OV for Matthews, let alone ++. Like ever. So yes, the plan is to enjoy Misa's 9 goals.

 

[Hockey 4 Life]

Mac T. Zellweger. And 2027 1st

Leafs would be stupid to trade Matthews for all of that meh.

 

[SmoggyTwinkles]

I'm just an armchair GM who woke up in the middle of the night.

But I've been saying, there's probably something brewing with the Leafs and Sharks.

And from the Leafs side it probably involves both Matthews and Mo. I dunno, Mo rumoured to be willing to wave his NMC for San Jose specifically, and Matthews not sure what happens next...............

When Marleau signed with the Leafs he invited a bunch of the young guys to hang out at his place in San Jose during the off-season, and Matthews LOVED it and Marleau and his family left a real impression on him.

I'm just throwing stuff out there.

But if you wikipedia Marleau, this part really blew my mind and has nothing to do with anything, just I didn't know this:

"At the time he surpassed Howe's record, Marleau had missed only 31 games in his career, and had played with or against 37% of the players who had ever played in the NHL"

WTF?

Before you start apply for GM jobs, just be aware this is coming from a guy who is a full time funeral director and still has a Wordpress blog. The last time Howard Berger had actual sources, the United States was still a liberal democracy.

No worries, my resume doesn't pass the AI test.

Apparently I'm useless at 48 years old despite my decades of expertise in my field.

And I got flack from sharks fans for suggesting Rielly + 3rd for a 2nd lol.

 

[PattyLafontaine]

Not at the cost of a 60 goal scorer.

Matthews will never be that again. Those days are over.

ROFL. I was just tryna read some trade proposals while being American and ended up catching strays…

 

[Grinner]

And I got flack from sharks fans for suggesting Rielly + 3rd for a 2nd lol. must have missed that part of your dreamsAs in the Avs 2nd.

Funny, I didn't see that
Sure, the Avs 2nd for Rielly and a 3rd.
Was the 3rd a 2026 one?

It makes more sense to have Knies for Michael Misa. Seems like a good trade for both teams. Sharks need a Winger and Lefs need a Center. Leafs will have excess LWs and Sharks have excess Cs. Seems like a good match to me. Rielly could be involved as well, but I think it makes sense for the Sharks to pursue Knies.

In no universe is Knies worth Misa
How about the 9th, Muk and Musty
Rumors are the Leafs were looking for a top 10 pick, roster player and a prospect

Yeah it was. It was posted in the Rielly waiving to SJ thread.

 

[EXTRAS]

2+9 is alot more than tkachuk got. Cmon. People acting like "two 1sts" are less, but not taking into account the difference between picks

 

[Grinner]

You're not the I have a dream guy?
