If the Coyotes want to surrender 4 first round picks to Leafs. Frankly I'd keep the 4 first rounders.

Arizona can't even afford to bring their payroll to the cap floor. Never could they afford to pay Matthews to long term deal at around $12-$15 mil.
Leafs have the right to make the offer first. Arizona cannot do any tampering. Signing RFA's has always been a risky move, having to forfeit draft picks and teams rarely do it.
That would end the rebuild that has already started, not a good idea, especially since Matthews looks like he will be a stud.
Thank God you're not the Leafs' GM
That would be like the Leafs former years. Stick to your day job glam.

You took the words right ... off my finger tips. lol
I could not agree more.
Glam that is one of the dumbest things I have heard from an apparent Leaf fan.

It would be awesome if you were the Montreal or Ottawa GM. :thumb:
I meant it from Arizona GM prospective, I'd keep my 4 first rounders. Sorry about the confusion. Long day at work and insomnia.
eep:Arizona would surrender 8 first round picks if they could get Matthews ! LOL
I don't want your job in Ottawa Ironhead and the Canadiens have me blacklisted.
Sorry dude, I meant that for Glam.
Go Leafs Go ! The kids will spend their entire career and retire as Leafs I hope.
This was an awesome move by Matthews. Love the look on Brown's face "It worked !" :Eek:
I wonder if they would trade Oliver Ekman-Larsson now. Leafs never trade Matthews, but for Lou to not hang up laughing it may have to start something like this "We will give you Larsson, Domi, Chychrun, and four firsts"
Lou "Wow, you will give up all that ? Still no." click.

It happens.
With what Matthews has shown thus far and being a hometown icon, he's worth more than a "franchise player" to Arizona. He'd be a "franchise saving player" to them with all their financial woes. Getting Matthews would probably fill their arena at least for the rest of the season and next few so I don't think they'd say no to any demand for players or drafts if the Leafs should ask.
Unfortunately for them, McDavid will probably be the only player in the world that the Leafs would consider trading Matthews one for one.
