Anything with a Matthews trade is a hard NO. You don't win by trading away generational talent!

Leafs aren't trading Matthews unless McDavid is coming back.

I think Arizona would want more then what your offering.

Absolutely no way can San Jose afford to make that trade. Couture is 30 and signed for 8 years at $8M. I can easily see him going rapidly downhill the second half of that contract. Is he even worth $8M? Comparables with guys like Pasternak, Nylander, E. Kane suggesting he is worth less.

None of those Arizona guys are very good, but none of the guys you are sending out are very good either, so I guess it’s a moot point. This trade doesn’t really help us get any better, but it does save us a few bucks, which we can use to sign a free agent or two. Lyubushkin is probably going back to KHL.
