This is just the beginning of the Auston Matthews trade rumors.<\/p>\n

As a nightmare season for the Toronto Maple Leafs<\/a> winds down, it’ll be popular for people to suggest new teams for Matthews to end up on.<\/p>\n

He’s got two years left on his contract after this one, which is enough to make him valuable in a trade but also short enough for there to be pressure on the Leafs to figure this out sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n

One person who is thinking about a Matthews trade is NHL insider Anthony Di Marco.<\/p>\n

He suggested a trade proposal also involving the Philadelphia Flyers<\/a>, writing out the details in a recent post on X<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the hypothetical trade, the Leafs would send Matthews (with 25% salary retention) and goaltender Joseph Woll to the Flyers.<\/p>\n

Di Marco suggests that in return, Toronto would receive either Owen Tippett or Trevor Zegras, along with Jett Luchanko, Oliver Bonk, Toronto’s own 1st back for 2027, and a third-round 2028 pick if Matthews signs a long-term extension with Philly.<\/p>\n

It’d be fascinating to see the Maple Leafs trade not only Matthews but also the goalie Woll. On paper, Toronto has too many goalies going forward, so it wouldn’t be a shock to see Woll traded, but it’d be a layered situation if they decide to get all the business done in one trade.<\/p>\n

Would Matthews want to go to Philadelphia? That will obviously be a key component, and we’ll just have to wait and see on that, if anything like this were to ever actually come to fruition.<\/p>\n
