He has no skill
he's frustrating to watch
I don't know how Matthias scored 18 goals somewhere but if I hadn't seen him score a goal this year I'd think that was Carter Ashton.

He has skill but he has not put it up and hasn't lived up to the expectation. Ah well...Let's see what happens.
The problem is, we have too many of these "role" players on the team. Literally 85% of the roster consists of these players
Aside from our top line, the rest of our forwards are 3rd/4th liners on a good team

I actually don't mind the way that Matthias plays.
But he's a role player at best and this team is filled with them and that's a huge problem.
Because when you start relying on guys that should be playing on 3rd lines anywhere else in the league, you set yourself up for failure.
Matthias seems like he brings an effort every game and that's okay with me.
Nice. Could be a hot commodity at the deadline. Big center. Maybe this means the end of Bozak.
One of the few FA I looked at during the course of the year with some interest. Figured he would be a great 1 year rental that we can pawn off at the deadline for a 2nd rounder or B+ prospect (much like Santorelli).
I REALLY felt he was going to sign a longer deal though so I didn't think we would get him. Figured 2-3 years at around $2-3M was a sure thing.
Happy about this. It's basically buying a 2nd rounder/B+ prospect.
Pretty much seals Bozaks fate. Babcock says he expects Kadri to be an elite player this year, so likely he gets #1c minutes. Then Holland and Matthias, and Dubas said Spaling will move back to centre this year.
I think people are setting themselves up for disappointment at next year's deadline. I doubt we're going to be dealing as many players as people hope.
Re: Matthias. Interesting signing. Surprised he didn't get more attention.
The first word that came to mind? Meh.

Hey guys, just wanted to give you a heads up on Matthias... He had an unofficial nickname in florida, something like marchthias, due to him getting a crazy amount of goals and points in march every year. He would make highlight reel goals, crazy plays and just enough to justify his next contract all over again.
Im calling it, you'll love him when he does and will ask for him to be re-signed.
same way chad kilger scored 17 goals.
Maybe it's just me but I remember Kilger being way more useful.
