Correct.

Would the Leafs want someone with zero playoff games as a replacement?

If they have the right attitude, yes.

You trade for Matthews and his $13.25 million contract, every future contract negotiation on the team will be benchmarked against that, instead of the $7 or so million we're paying Thompson. On the Leafs, the Tavares contract set the stage for their overpayments thereafter.

We'd be handcuffed by the cap just like the Laffs are.

Maybe, maybe not.  Sometimes an outlier is simply an outlier.  If that WEREN'T the case, Tage Thompson and Dylan Cozens would be making much closer to $9MM/yr IMHO.
