Parayko or bust. Send them Matheson and Mailloux

If the Habs want to trade Mike Matheson...they don't have to do it with any salary retention. He's already cheap for what he provides.

He's seriously undervalued by this fanbase.
Undervalued if you look at his DB page

My point has nothing to do with his DB page and all to do with his value as a minute eating, point producing Dman.

You're not a fan and that's your right, I just know there's not a ton of Dman who can do what he does (even if you think what he does isn't all that great) who are available and make less than 5M for this year and next.

That has value...value that you don't need to tie up a salary retention spot if you're desperate to move him.

A lot of D can do what he does, mainly because he doesn't do it well.

Gustaffsson is the perfect example.

Gustafsson is currently 5th on the Red Wings in TOI/g

At ES he's 7th

On the PP he's 1st

On the PK he's 7th

He does not do what Mike Matheson does.

That makes him a poor example exacerbated by the fact that the Detroit Red Wings would kill for a player like Mike Matheson.

Mike Matheson, mostly out of necessity granted, played the 3rd most minutes in the NHL last season out of all players in the NHL last year.

Erik Gustafsson has never nor will ever come close to approaching that.

Again it's fine that he's not your cup of tea but to suggest he's got similar value to what is essentially a PP specialist, is ridiculous.

20 game mark before we see movement?
Does bowel movement count? 💀

I doubt anything happens for two main reasons — timing is still early at 20 game mark and Hughes is only willing to trade assets that are not part of the future. So, who does that leave, one of the org’s many diminutive forwards?

That said, Hughes cannot be completely dismissed.
