Most people just want to capitalize on his value and don't see him in the long term plans with all the LHD and Hutson eventually taking over #1 PP.

His cap hit is low enough to be enticing to an ambitious team today.
What’s a fair shake? Our team is bad, we’re defacto tanking. What do you want?

If you're a contender, getting Matheson at 50% retained for 2 playoffs runs might be worth spending the assets.
He's technically more attractive this year, since he wouldn't be a rental and his contract is cheap.
And next year, Habs don't want to be in a position to move bodies at the deadline (actually Suzuki is already tired of it).
Matheson will turn 33 the first year of his new contract.....you cannot sign a one way d-man to a 6-7 year contract extension.

Why? Frost is 24, he is what he is. Newhook still has some potential even if that is pretty low.

MTL says no. Frost is a one way player that needs to play high in the lineup and be fed minutes to be successful. Newhook could find success in a more limited role and that’s what we need him for.

Newhook is a basically Lehkonnen 2.0.. good to have in a playoff run as a depth player who can slot in wherever necessary for injuries.
Which is the the reality. He doesn't fit our core.. trade him btw now and TDL for a 1st rounder and a prospect back.

I'd trade for Frederick from Boston, then try and get Olivier. See what we can get for Savard and MM. Goon this season up, have some size for Demidov next year to say 'hi' if we need to. Target the underperforming teams for trades, or those who are contenders and may have an injury on the blueline in the near future. (Winnipeg etc)
Can't wait to get rid of Armia and Dvorak and get players here who care more than 2 nights a month

Frost has only played for incompetent coaches. I would trade for him but not for Newhook. Would have to be a cheap acquisition.
Wouldn't mind swapping LWs: CC for Tkachuk. Might be a win-win for both teams.
What about Slaf for Jiricek, considering he's a better pick at 1OA. Wait a minute, this is 2024! Sorry, I was stuck in the past.
That seems very unlikely given our depth at LD.

By the time Matheson starts his next contract, he'll be firmly bottom pair on the left side...
I'd be in favor of a 2 year deal at what he's making now, but more term or cap it would be hard to justify unless all 3 of X, Strubble & Engstrom falter considerably in their progression

People always after the shiny new hook, when the one they have is still new.
Frost would be cool tho.
Let’s agree to disagree on that one . Obviously I still doubt will be to the Habs but 100pct see him leaving Pittsburgh

More I think about it, more I keep returning to KK. Not even cause he played for us but more cause he would be a great fit. Depth-wise it would be amazing if you think about it. Decent size, some gritt, some skills, and given our troubles with centers, esp. the way Dach is struggling, KK could help since he can play on every lines.
Now I know maybe trading him for Dvorak is not attractive for them but Dvorak comes off the books next year. So it would be a weight lifted off their shoulders getting rid of KK's contract in a one on one trade. I mentioned Dvorak but it could be someone else.
