Should have traded Matheson for a good haul this past summer and kept Kovacevic.

And whom plays up to replace Matheson's ice time?

Hutson is already at 23min /night.

Matheson is out of place as a #1D. He's clearly out of place used as much as he is... but he's also clearly a better option than our current alternatives.

Matheson is paid like a 2nd pairing dman, he'd be good as a #2, and great as a #3. Not his fault we have no viable alternative to reduce his minutes.

Until KH finds an upgrade at top pairing D, Matheson will keep getting used too heavily, and keep drawing the misguided ire of a fan base determined to have a few whipping boys.

Hopefully, if we do move him it's for the kind of return that will make the main board implode...

My solution was adding a vet that's not a paper tiger like Matheson, someone the kids can actually look up to. Hughes decided to sit down and double down on his pet-client because that's what we do in the foxhole.

Matheson shouldn't play PP1.
Matheson shouldn't be on the ice when we need a goal.
Matheson should be leaned on at the detriment of playing younger players.
Matheson shouldn't be kept beyond this year because he has no value to us.
Well HuGo don’t agree with your thought process

Have them all play between 18-22 minutes a game.
