Yeah whether h v matthews was fair or not isnt the point. The fact it might be fair and hes getting shipped for 3 quarters andc2 dimes that might become quarters is gross

Whether or not the hype was justified, he was depicted as a franchise #1 center at worst and a generational talent at best going into his draft. And yeah, until the past couple of years, the "Matthews vs Eichel" debates were still going on.

Obviously Matthews is at another level, but a center who scores at a 30-goal/PPG+ pace is pretty damn good too.

Even with his health issues, if you weren't a disaster franchise like Buffalo, you'd probably want to keep him and gamble on him getting healthy again. Or at least you'd want to take that gamble instead of whatever mediocre quantity-for-quality trade they get out of Vegas.
