Boston is 2nd in the NHL and they're running Forbot and Grelzyck in their top 4.
What if they offer Swayman, Forbort and Brunet for him and Primeau ?
Running a Swayman/Montambault tandem would be fantastic.
Matheson could also be very interesting for Vancouver, who's currently running Cole and Soucy on the left side. They have prospects like Raty, Klimovich, Lekkerimaki, Brz and Willander who could all come back the other way.
Detroit too and they are f***ign packed with drafted prospects and young players.
Toronto would also be interested Im sure. Minten, Robertson could all be offered.
I bet Winnipeg would love to push down Dillon and have Matheson on the 2nd pair behind Morrissey. McGroarty, Lambert, Lucius, Barlow...
Theres alot of opportunities for Matheson.
Yes, he probably won't be in his prime by the time this team pivots to their "winning window" but I'm not even advocating that he should be extended.
The context presented in this thread is for this year only. What is the rush to unload him this year specifically?
The rush is that his value goes down. Can his value go any higher ?
