Absolutely not, I'd want way more certainty when trading what I would consider one of the, if not the best shooter in the NHL. If it was #1 and the rest, then I'd consider it given Lafreniere seems like much more of a sure thing.

Got the offer of my Matthews for entry draft picks #2 & 8 overall, Nolan Foote, and Brayden Tracey.
I turned it down, but I'm debating whether I should still entertain the general idea given how good of a draft year this year is supposed to be. Not sure if my leaf bias is clouding my judgement. I'm planning on competing next year, but people tend to over value top prospects and I could easily see myself flipping picks #2 and 8. For example last year 8th overall and some minor pieces got traded last year for Malkin, but no guarantee I could get a similar offer.
My team:
C: Matthews, Bergeron, Kopitar, Giroux, Couture, Backstrom, Backlund
LW: Ovechkin, Benn, Schwartz, Parise, Sanford, Jarnkrok
RW: Hoffman, Granlund, Niederreiter, Radulov, Brown, Pavelski, Simmonds

Notable Prospects: J. Robertson, Groulx, Harley, Lundkvist, Addison, Clague, Niku, Farrance

Good turn down.
It's not a terrible offer, but is lacking to get Matthews.
Correct decision
You were wise on this one. Good to stick to your guns and hold your ground.
CAN-AM National Hockey League ~ 7th Year - H2H
CAN-AM Memorial Hockey League ~ 7th Year - H2H
CAN-AM Canadian Hockey League - 2nd year -H2H
CAN-AM Vintage Hockey League ~ 1st Year - Roto
That's a deal I turn down 11 times out of 10.
You get a bunch of maybes for a top tier player.

Would you trade a loonie away for 4 dimes? Neither would I. I would definitely reject this offer especially if you are trying to compete for a championship next season.
I wouldn't have taken that either.

I think you made the right choice.
Matthews is arguably a top 10 player in the league today and still is just scratching the surface. The four pieces he offered are nice but there's no guarantee with any of them.
If it was me as the Matthews owner, I'd want something young and NHL studly as a starting point. As I say, the pieces offered are nice but to me, in any offer for Matthews, they would be secondary pieces not primary ones.

"Cleavage is like the sun. You can look, but dont stare.. Unless you're wearing sunglasses."
Easy no imo. To deal Matthews you'd need a young studly rw ( to me that's where you could use the most help) + the rest to even consider it
If you could get Tarasenko (or some equivalent) plus what was offered, I would consider it.

It's an easy, easy, easy, easy reject.
Keep whatchu got!!
Zorro says "vote for Dobber"
Angus is my best friend at dobberhockey..
Revisiting this since I ended up moving Matthews for what I think was a kings ransom, but curious on your thoughts.
Matthews + McIsaac + Bernard-Docker for Werenski, Pacioretty, Tippet, Brannstrom, Entry Draft Picks #8 & 13, and a 2022 1st
