So who wants Philip Danault on their team next year?

 

[SA16]

If Matthews asks out of Toronto what can we offer?

Just about anything

After doing some research I really want the Rangers to sign him. I think he’s what they need. Especially if they plan of keeping Zib

*Auston Matthews has entered the chat*

I'll throw the first log on the fire - Strome, Buch, Miller, 1st!

Toronto is on suicide watch

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

Hypothetically speaking, if Sheldon Keefe gets the axe, would you be interested in hiring him?

Any Matthews trade starts with Laff.

Matthews is a wonderful backdoor one-time scorer who's terrific at a capitalizing on setups by other players, but he actually creates very little offense for himself in a relation to the amount of skill he actually has. I would want absolutely nothing to do with him and that contract, nothing!

Also don't forget he has exactly 3 years left on that massive contract that literally walks him right to UFA status. The amount of assets you'd have to trade for him when his contract only lasts 3 years and he goes straight to UFA would never be worth it. Dubas absolutely screwed that contract up. He gave up term and he gave up dollars. Usually you bend on one or the other, but not both. Guys making absolutely ridiculous money in a walked him right to UFA status so he can laugh his way right out of Toronto into whatever other team he wants to go to

You must have completely disregarded the that could not have been featured more prominently in my post. Really, it was right there. I must know, how DID you miss that sarcasm smiley? I'm genuinely interested.

That team is too much like this team, and he couldn't get it going, so no.

Do we need players that choke and have that losing mentality when it matters. No thanks to him or Eichel. Give me Barkov or a signed Barkov. Complete player. 200 ft game. Mathews is not a player you win with. He has loser type vibes from him.

Pass. Matthews is a playoff failure. Yea its a team sport but he is not helping. Need players that play well and score consistently in the playoffs. Not ones that go missing like Rick Nash did here. Kreider despite his inconsistent play at times, he actually does well and is scoring in the playoffs.

 

[UnSandvich]

Danault's price tag went up after this series.

(but we should still sign him anyway)

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Marner for Seth Jones in the offseason is going to happen.

CBJ adding another incomplete high priced winger seems unlikely

What’s the price because whatever it is it just went up.

Jones has 1 year on his contract so I don't think they are going to get someone better than him. Yea he stinks in the playoffs so far but he is still an elite offensive talent you would have locked up for 4 years.

I see this as a draft day type of trade.

How did Barkov’s team do in the playoffs?

There is really very little difference between a contract that “walks a player to UFA” and one that ends a year before considering if he signs one that ends a year before and really wants to leave he can always just go to arbitration or say he is only signing a one year deal.

 

[DutchShamrock]

Imagine if Jones ended up back home in Colorado.

Leafs have repeatedly choked. this is new to the Panthers
