"The full trade is Auston Matthews, with two years remaining on a contract that is now very reasonable for a player with his ceiling and ability to instantly be that team's best player, for Adin Hill, prospect Trevor Connelly, a first-round pick in two years, and a 2027 second-round pick."
"So the main roster player is the goaltender who just finished a season with an .870 save percentage, and is also signed to a horrific contract with that context, signed through the 2030-31 season."
"Trevor Connelly, who was selected 19th overall in 2024, had a great rookie AHL season scoring over a point per game with 49 in 46. But he's not even close to being a throw-in prospect for a player like Matthews."
Auston Matthews' future with the Toronto Maple Leafs is in question, prompting fans to speculate about potential trades. A particularly poor trade proposal from a Vegas Golden Knights fan suggested sending Matthews to Vegas in exchange for goaltender Adin Hill, prospect Trevor Connelly, and draft picks. The proposal is criticized for undervaluing Matthews, who is considered a top player, while the assets offered are deemed insufficient and laughable, especially given Hill's poor performance and contract situation.
