I think that is a very fair opinion. The one reason I think they would consider it is because Strome has not played for them yet. I can't see them moving OEL, Domi, or Duclair as they are mainstays with the team. To add a homegrown superstar to a market that struggles would be very appealing.
You are probably right and that price is too high but it would be the only thing I would even consider if I was Treliving. There is no doubt Matthews would bring interest to that team and for a struggling market like that I see the appeal from ownership.
It is such a hypothetical though and so much would need to happen for this to even be considered. Flames have to win the top pick and the Coyotes have to win the 2 or 3 pick
