Chychrun isn't going for "here's what I feel comfortable giving up." He's going for "this is how much I'm willing to outbid the next highest offer", which I guarantee is more than the OP.

Lmao. If this is the price, Ottawa would not have balked at it. So, so, so easy to beat.
Niemela is a very solid prospect.... not sure I'd call him a "top prospect" as I highly doubt he would go 1st round (or above the very bottom of the 1st) in a redraft

That offer will get beat....Leafs would need to add at least one more decent piece.

If by "decent piece" you mean "a better piece than anything included thus far", I would agree.

You seriously don't think that could be beat?

Dermott has little value, maybe a 3rd or two 4ths at this point.
The 1st + Niemela buy you a year or year and a half of Cychrun.
Think Nylander for Chychrun or two 1sts + Niemela and 2nd round or another good prospect.
Think Muzzin deal +
Ok, i would add Sandin or Liljegren. That said, i think you are not aware of the type of prospect Niemela is.

If the Leafs were trading for Chyrchun, Sandin would be the big piece going the other way. Doesn't make sense to have him blocked behind Rielly/Chyrchun on the left side anyways.

A lot of people don't. He's probably the only untouchable prospect we have. Niemela + 1st is a lot to give up.
The only real way Toronto could be in on this deal would be if Arizona really wanted knies as a home town kid.
package would have to be around him and would probably be based more on sentiment then actual value.

How about we trade you Travis Boyd and a top 10-ish protected first for Matthews. Arizona gets one of the league's top 2 or 3 centers (probably higher), also he's from AZ so we can market around him.
TOR gets Boyd who can fill in and be a solid bottom six guy for the Leafs moving forward. He's not really a top prospect, but more importantly he helps you get out of AM34's contract while also getting something for him in case he leaves after his contract is up in 2024. Plus the first round pick will help you draft another top tier prospect who can play with Niemela so Niemela won't be the only Toronto defenseman getting Norris votes when he's 22. Needless to say this will help Toronto in the long term especially if Matthews signs elsewhere.
What is this nonsense. smh
If I were leafs brass Sandin would go nowhere, and with Liljegren playing so well and Niemela being so dominant, I'd wait the year or two and have all 3 on the blue line with Reilly and brodie and Muzzin. The d core will be a huge strength in a year or two.

Chychurn and Matthews aren't even close to similar value. Matthews is arguably the 2nd best player on the planet, chychurn is a top pair d having a terrible year.
