Matheson is good up and until you have to depend on him for anything.
He can give you the unexpected at times but not the expected.
That is a problem.

Well we are down Laine (and RHP?)
I think it's also a problem for his trade value.

They have the worst points percentage in the nhl right now pending the outcome of the Preds game. So much for being in the Mix.

I agree. But I'm not sure it was too high this summer. I think it was either a late 1st or a 2nd.
But yeah, I guess both of those returns look good now. I just don't think it was a top 15 pick as some speculated.

Exactly how I felt. Mentioned it in GDT. It's like the 2000 Devils all over again.
I see it the same as you. He was never getting more value than this past summer. His 23-34 season was an anomaly stats wise and he “looked” flashy good at times. Some GM would’ve bit.
why would a non playoff team would have traded their first for Matheson?
TB, Edm, Tor, LV, Col all moved theirs already but all expect to make the PO.
That is a pie in the sky wish.

Kept it a close game and played better defensively against a very good team. The team simply lacks talent and another high pick is needed. If they play more defensive then they create f all offensively.. if they play more offensive their D and goaltending get eaten alive.
Some thoughts on the game:
- Dach looks like he has no confidence with the puck, put him lower in the lineup and off the first PP to regain confidence
- Hutson on first PP please
- Xhekaj looked better and kept his game simple
- I can’t wait until Dvorak/Armia are gone

Doubt we beat Utah, they just handled Carolina easily and Carolina are light years ahead of us…
Columbus? Maybe. I was shocked they beat Buffalo to be honest so I suppose anything is possible.
I’m just so done with Marty Saint John hockey. No systems, no accountability for some and far too much for others, little to no development, toughness non existent.
It’s like being forced to listen to the opening theme for “Coronation Street” on repeat.
No one was going to trade for him in the summer. Someone would now.
The opening theme for Coronation Street is great.

Not playing Hutson in those final minutes when we're down is crazy. Bench one of Dach or Matheson...

Not a bad game but we don't do well against trapping teams. And it's going to be that way until our club is much more mature. It was completely boring... I think I fell asleep for about an hour.

Wak Prescott the 60M/yr scam artist, here we gooo!
He's a vet alright, too bad he's complete dogshit and exactly the kind of player you don't want your young D to emulate and learn from.

Oh yeah, that cornet and clarinet really get the blood pumping. Should be the Marty Saint John theme song for his interviews.
