If Matthews waits until Jul. 1 and goes RFA, would you drop 4 1st rounders on him at $12 for 7 yrs? I think a number of teams (PHX at the top of the list) would.

He's 21 years old and their best player as well as being one of the best young players to come around in some time. Why on earth would they trade him to keep Marner or Nylander who are more complementary players?
