"Yes we are! We want him! But... what will you give us for him though really?"
"Is it Puljujärvi you're taking then?"
"No! Matthews! He's so great!"
"So Puljujärvi then?"

"Bozak and your 2nd?"

Think the conversation would be more like
"So, we're going to draft Matthews at 1st overall. But.... we wouldn't be too choked if we had to draft one of the other wingers. I hear you were gung ho in getting Matthews. Make me an offer to convince me to trade you my pick so you can get him..."
If Toronto refuses, you draft Matthews. No skin off Tre's back. I'm sure Phoenix would be willing to give up a crapload for him.
