Were not, but adding a Mackinnon, McDavid, Crosby, Malkin, Draisaitl, etc to Suzuki would be an instant ticket to being a contender, not because we don't need an upgrade elsewhere but because theyre great players.

With that said, good luck adding a player like that.
So would adding a Makar, Heiskanen, Hedman, Josi...etc or Kucherov, Panarin, Kaprizov, Connor...etc or Shesterkin, Sorokin, Oettinger...etc.

Why should we prioritize upgrading a top 15C in the league when everything else is nowhere close to being the top of their position in the league?

Yup, don't get this mentality. If there is one position where I feel Habs are set for their contending year is #1C with Nick. Sure a franchise 1C is always great to have, but his defensive play mixed with a PPG production makes it a ROR/Bergeron/Toews/Kopitar #1 type C that has been enough for multiple cup winners.
Big Nick very much gives me ROR vibes. Can do everything to a high standard, hovers close to PPG each season with good defensive and clutch play, glues the team together. I hope Nick is a better driver, though.

I'm not a Matheson hater but he slows down the pp way too much.

No you're right. He doesn't process things fast enough, which a lot of times results in him firing it into chin pads.

Hutson sees things like Neo from the Matrix, he sees things Matheson would never.
