It would take a hell of an overpayment and I don’t see why another team would want to do that.

You retain salary on guys you want to move, the Habs don't have to move Matheson.

Next year with 1yr left might be a different story or again depending on return on a retention deal.
Matheson will have a bigger value if traded this year with retention.

No point keeping Matheson as the team is still rebuilding. May as well take advantage of a great opportunity.

Yes and no, if you're a club with a need you can not fix internally, both are fine acquisitions. Otherwise yeah, you don't get either of them for a playoff run for sure.

Not sure anyone will want: Dvorak, Armia or Savard for a playoff run either.
Those 3 could be in the AHL and nothing would change in our lineup. We also only have 1 salary we can retain....

What is the minimum haul you would demand for Matheson or else not trade him?
The Habs are currently LOOKING for a top 4 Dman and are being told essentially “good luck, so is every other team”

Yet you got some Habs fans equating his value to Erik Gustafsson.

Wild world

Sure I don’t disagree in theory but the return has to equal the value and his value is not that of a PP specialist

To MTL: Carson Soucy & Kiefer Sherwood
To VAN: Mike Matheson & Joel Armia.
Soucy f***ing sucks.

Sherwood had f***ing 59 hits in 8 games. He almost triples the next closest on his team.

Dude is on track for over 600 hits. The Habs might reach 600 hits as a team.

I can't remember which poster, but when I posted my list of bottom 6 forwards and 13th forwards that would make the Habs harder to play against someone added his name.

1.5 mill, too. What a choice.

I know he's an asshoke, but when the Habs looked at DeAngelo before, was it Hughes, or dumbass as the GM ?

I'm just wondering as I wonder if the Habs bring DeAngelo back over for a chance to be a 3rd pairing RHD.

Yeah the trade is really Matheson for Sherwood, the other 2 are just patching holes.

I'd sign DeAngelo to a PTO, can't be much worst than Xhekaj... And really Xhekaj - DeAngelo as a pair looks scary.

Both like to take random strolls on defense and go insane at the drop of a hat.

TDA is just another guy that has some skill and put up points, but is a desaster in his own end, not really what the habs need.

DeAngelo is signed in the KHL. He's playing with Demidov.
