Canucks ARE a good team as a whole. But that defense past Hughes (and Hronek when he's healthy) is a real dogs breakfast.
Matheson would add offense from the back end. But Canucks already have the guns They’re just not firing at the level they should be. The team needs a big bucket of ice water to wake up.

are you taking habs fan out for dinner before screwing us?

62 pts last year, on pace for 50 this year.
Overplayed as a no 1 or 2 but an excellent 2nd pairing dman
with elite skating, some grit - but sometimes questionable hockey sense...
but he's a hab so obviously he has very little worth to the usual crowd.
:thumbu:

:santa:
Heard to same with Toffoli, Lehkonen, Chiarot, Kulak, Monahan, Allen, etc. Crickets passed the TDL

Canucks don t have any puck mover behind Hughes. Add Hronek injury and you end up with Myers Soucy Juulsen Forbort Brannstorm behind Hughes…

Matheson would help them keep the puck in the Ozone more than they do today in my opinion.

Matheson is a #2-#3 d-man so the return would be a 1rst, b prospect and Desharnais who seems to be a cap dump at this point

Yet he's still a Canuck despite his poor play, dwindling ice time and being a healthy scratch. Weird.

Yet, what I said remains true, weird.

Who the hell is wanting Hoglander unless it's a way to get more assets by taking on a potential cap dump?
Research is your friend. He isn't a capdump.

Did he have 3 x $3M extension back then? No? Ok
Did he put up 24 ES goals, getting no PP time just last year?

Pretty sure NHL GM's don't have the recency bias that people on HF seem to embrace.

Just ignore the fact that he scored those goals on a completely unrepeatable 20% shooting percentage. His play this year proves last year was a total outlier. They should have traded last year when his value was artificially high. Instead they gave him a contract that takes him close to the negative value realm
