Breaking Down A Hypothetical Auston Matthews Trade 🤔 w/TSN's Darren Dreger | BB Clips

You know, Boston Matthews legitimately were in play.

What would that package look like?

Like you'd get probably a decent young center back, probably a defenseman, and maybe

a first round pick or two first round pick.

Yeah.

I'd look at the random deal and add, because he got trained twice last year.

Well, maybe we're getting ahead of ourselves, but who is even in the boat to everyone who

would want Matthews?

Yeah, we can't get him a Calgary and I can't fit him in.

And like, I heard San Jose once, because they got that Misa kid.

Maybe that's like, are there certain teams that would be ahead of the pack as far as

getting him?

Like, well, impossible to say definitively, San Jose would make some sense to me.

I wouldn't call him a front runner, but spitballing.

Um, guys, I think Utah is going to be a big player here.

I was going to say Utah feels sticky, kicking tires, like they haven't been able to land

well.

Right?

No.

Until it happens, I'm just wondering.

We heard the same thing with Seattle.

Like, oh, they offered 50 some million to Penaer and he said, no, like, it's a great

side for sale.

I think it's a bad side for sale.

Yeah.

It's like, less money.

I just think that that owner is he wants it.

I get that.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You know, some people mention L.A., right?

And they put this package together of, of Byfield and Clark and, you know, again, draft

picks.

Uh, Matthews is going to drive this bus if it gets to that point.

And I'm not sure he looks at the L.A. King's roster and where they're headed and goes,

all right.

Well, I mean, the future might be good in L.A. for a year or two.

And, and then there's going to be a restructuring that's required there as well.

So some of the other teams that we mentioned without, again, knowing anything about anything

in terms of what Austin Matthews wishes are, he gets to that point.

He's going to get that.

Well, that's what I think it was.

We don't know.

But do you get the vibe that Austin Matthews is desperate to go to a Stanley Cup contender?

Or is he?

I don't know.

Or maybe we shouldn't even speculate on it.

More lifestyle.

Is there lifestyle?

Yeah.

Is it taxes and lifestyle or is it winning?

Ah, yeah.

It's nice.

It's a combination.

Yeah.

It is.

I mean, the, the perfect scenario is, as you're right, it's, it's a combination.

And, and I think if you're looking at, at San Jose, I mean, all right, San Jose isn't

the prettiest part of California, but it's not a bad spot.

I mean, you're not that far away.

It's California.

Yeah, it's California.

You talk, again, we're just pure speculating here.

I mean, it's a nice spot.

There's lots of reasons.

But I, I think that more than lifestyle and more than where he's going to live, it's

about the pieces on that team, how he would fit into that team if it gets to that point.

And can he win for years to come, you know, not being the last piece of a puzzle, maybe

coming in the middle of the run and seeing where it goes from there.
