So the debate begins: Matthews vs. Laine

[disco]

... and with that the ten long years of #1 center barrenness endured after the departure of Mats will mercifully come to an end.

Attention  Staff:

              Auston Matthews is not tradeable.

                                                  -  Management

Players I would trade Auston Matthews for, straight up:
[list type=decimal]
[*]Connor McDavid
[/list]

I dunno man, I don't think you can wash that Oilers stench off completely.

Plus, we'd probably have to add Nylander to make it work.

There's literally nothing you could add to make it work.

I wouldn't go that far.  My point is nothing that would make sense.

Nothing that would make sense for the Leafs.  It would make a lot of sense for the Oilers if they got Matthews++

No, HS was right with the first comment.

Anyone can be traded for the right price.

No, no it is not.

Sunshine...google it. 

Aren't you from Scotland?

I've spent the majority of my adult life in warmer parts of the U.S. though.

Of course.  However, McDavid's price is beyond well beyond anything the Leafs could offer.  He is the most valuable asset in the NHL by a preposterous margin.

Well, the Leafs could offer Reilly, Matthews, JvR, and Gardiner and I'm pretty sure the Oilers would take it.  Every Leafs fan would have their head explode, and it would set us back another 5 years.  But, even McDavid can be traded for if you blow their socks off (while blowing your own head off).

then they could accelerate the 5 years by signing stamkos...HAHA

Edmonton still says no.

 

[rdowdall]

Edmonton still says no.

Can you imagine the riots if they ever did that?

"We know that we have sucked for the last decade and that we just got the next top talent in the game, but we felt that by moving him for a package.......OH MY GOD!!!!! ANGRY FANS ARE EVERYWHERE!!!!!  IT'S LIKE THE WALKING DEAD!!!!!"

The mayhem that would ensue....

I won't sweat it with McDavid.  He'll naturally just sign here as a UFA when he wants to get on board the Stanley Cup train and play 2nd fiddle to Matthews and his 3 Cups already.

 

[Zee]

Oh man.  Today is exactly TWO WEEKS away from the draft.  I'm kind of excited.

 

[disco]

Saw this on reddit.

It's Button, but still:

Connor McDavid, for comparison:
