""What if Toronto can't convince Auston Matthews that they can turn this thing around in a real quick fashion? What if Matthews goes to them... and says, 'The way I'm feeling right now, I don't think I'm going to extend here'?""
""If I'm Kenny Holland and the LA Kings, I'm calling Tree (Brad Treliving) at some point now or in the offseason and saying, not sure it's going to happen, but if it does I'd like to be in on that!""
""Matthews is on a completely different level, and if the Kings were serious about going after him, you'd have to think Byfield's name comes up in the conversation.""
NHL insider Darren Dreger suggested Auston Matthews could replace Anze Kopitar for the Los Angeles Kings. He noted that if Matthews expresses a desire to leave Toronto, the Kings should be interested. Dreger emphasized that this was a speculative idea rather than a concrete report. He mentioned the Kings' current strategy with Quinton Byfield but acknowledged Matthews' superior status, implying that any trade discussions would likely involve significant assets from Los Angeles.
