Value of: Mike Matheson to Vancouver

[Qwijibo]

Would do Matheson for Desharnais + 1st + 3rd/4th

What are you adding to take 2cyears of Deshsrnais? The guy is an overpaid 6/7 D. Allvin screwed up with that signing, Montreal isn't handing him a get out of cap jail free card without compensation

Do you think you won't remember it in the future? Memory is fleeting, after all. To add to that, the human memory is faulty, on it's best days.

Also Petterson got concussed pretty hard there. He probably doesn't remember much of what happened that day.

Rutherford traded for him before, wouldn't surrprise me if he did again. Matheson needs out of Montreal, the dog and one trick pony show.

So from MTL's dog and pony to Vancouver's circus act? So who do you think Matheson is gonna side with? Miller or Petterson? You have to choose right? before you step in the locker area?

He seems like the fall guy, which is what any local player becomes if he struggles. Which is why quality homegrown talent seems more rarified than any other time in history.

How to become a contender is probably a topic of intense debate in Montreal.

What are you on about? Matheson ain't the whipping boy. If anything the local media were crapping on Dach and Caufield. However Dach's coming back from a major injury and he just had a 2 goal game. Caufield's not scoring as much but he is getting assists. Last season they were throwing rocks at Anderson and Gallagher and now they're both doing much better this season. They've given up on hating Primeau and Dvorak. They know they suck, management knows they suck but their contracts are up this year so whatevs.

I know you guys think that MTL fans are close to marching up and down Ste-Catherine street and calling for heads but not at all. The fans love watching Hutson play and improve daily, heck Heineman is doing pretty solid as a rookie too. There's a reason our AHL team arena is packed. The people can see our prospects doing well.

...he's probably playing too many minutes right now and an injury was probably inevitable.

Yeah the last thing Hughes needs is help. When he gets back they should just have him averaging 29min per night.
