If the Leafs match that offer they can pretty much kiss Marner goodbye because they could not afford him. Does Matthews make Arizona a SC contender? I don't think he moves the needle that much. So you get 4 1sts that are either mid 1sts or lottery picks, you can easily sign Marner, and you still have JT and Kadri up the middle. Matthews is a great player, no doubt, but with the pieces they would still have adding 4 1st rnd picks would make that teams success carry a lot longer most likely.

Interesting thought. But I still think the Leafs would keep him though and try to move JT, Nylander, etc.
