Why? Why does Matthews need to get to 60?
The goal is to win the Cup.
Some money for the rest of team to score goals in the playoffs might be nice.

But we never had a rocket Richard winner before ~uwu~

Hey sport. I would agree with you but then we would both be wrong...

When the truth and uneducated opinions collide ... refer to the facts...

Can't wait till uneducated false hot takes are gone from this fan base ...

and? your point is? hes a playoff coward,paid the most by far and is a headcase. has no shot, afraid to take a hit as seen by his many multiple shots over glass penalties. The thing that did it for me was the deke of him pretending to go into the corner- utter COWARD CHILD.

LOL you see things more complicated eh? Did you see that in 2005 season, the season of that trade where they finished in 13th in the East or the year after in 2006 finished 13th out of 15 teams in the East? Before that trade 2003-4 Boston finished 2nd in the East. I can see how when you "think" you see things more complicated, you don't do the work or research to support your point, but hey maybe this is an opportunity for you to add facts to your tool chest... So to recap you want us to follow Boston's model where they go from one of the best teams in the league to cratering to the bottom? Awesome plan there sport.. sign me up!!!!

There is also precedent NOT to trade him. Washington lost in the 1st/2nd round many times with Ovechkin and Backstrom... how did they ever win by hanging on to their perennial failure forwards?

THEY ARE MEN? THEY CAN HIT AND TAKE A HIT? THEY DONT TAKE STUPID PENALTIES?
 
What would happen if there was no NHL salary cap? Would Dubas bankrupt MLSE?

LOL even with the cap he is doing his best to burn through MLSEL's stacks of money. Unless we get a fourth wave, MLSEL will start printing money again starting in October so they should be able to stock pile enough money to compensate for Dubas' incompetance.

the more he burns thru their money, the faster he gets canned... problem with dubas is, I bet he eventually learns how to proper GM way later down the line and wins a cup, and watch, itll be vs a Leaf team in the finals :sarcasm: (our GM at the time, will be Lou's grandson)
 
Boston received Marco Sturm, Wayne Primeau and Brad Stuart for a Hall of Famer in JT who has gone on to score 1500+ points.
Then Boston finished last in their division the following 2 seasons.

I would have this quite high on the regret meter.
And then drafted Bergeron, Kessel, Marchand & Lucic over 2 drafts and signed Chara.

Think long term

HA, not sure what players Boston drafts has to do with regretting trading a HOF player for a bucket of pucks...

And Bergeron and Joe played together in boston.

One of the deals suggested by a NJ fan was Holtz+2021 4th oa+Wood. One of the only deals that I saw & felt would be worth it. Use the cap space and pick up depth this off season, which is one of the best in a while to get a ton of depth.

Marner was also a boy vs boys, so really it's a very similar situation
I am not sure if you know this but only about 1 in 30 of us guys who played in O actually play in NHL .. many more play in Europe or in minor pro leagues here with high hopes to make da show .. and da guys who play pro hockey are typically da men who play in da O .. of course a few Mitch types with tremendous skill do make it but they are exceptions to da rule .. Mitch was always small at every level he played since he started at 4 .. great kid though who loved playing hockey every day

How many players who put up 44 points in 18 OHL playoff games don't make it?

Everyone would want to play for Toronto if there was no cap. Everyone. The Big 4 love playing for him with a cap. But the problem for the rest is its like Musical Chairs and the music stopped and they're left without a chair.

No idea but likely every one of them .. but you do realize da line drivers were matthew and christian who scored both game tying and winning goals late in 3rd period and OT in mem cup final .. Mitch will always get a HUGE number of assists if you play him with right guys .. but my point is over two thirds of an O roster are kids going nowhere in hockey so it is much easier to beat a kid who does not have enough skill or speed or size to compete .. in pro hockey those types are not around anymore it is all men
