We now know what we could obtain in return of Mike Matheson in the case of a trade
There's new information regarding trade rumors involving Montreal Canadiens defenseman Mike Matheson.
His name has been circulating heavily recently, especially following a few tough outings and now, Frank Seravalli has confirmed that Mike Matheson is officially on the trade radar.
According to Frank Seravalli, Mike Matheson ranks 9th on his list of players most likely to be traded before the deadline.
As reported by HabsOnReddit, Frank Seravalli of Daily Faceoff included Mike Matheson in his latest NHL trade targets list, and clearly, this is a situation worth following over the coming weeks for the Canadiens, and we will need to follow all of this as the trade deadline will approach.
Even if Mike Matheson is not sure to be traded, if the right offer comes along, Kent Hughes should absolutely explore the possibility.
A team like the Carolina Hurricanes, who have shown interest in Mike Matheson in the past and possess valuable trade assets, could be an intriguing trade partner for the Habs.
Plus, the New Jersey Devils could also be a fit and the question everybody is asking while talking about the Devils is : Would they consider swapping promising young defenseman Simon Nemec for Matheson?
The Devils are in win-now mode and Mike Matheson would provide immediate help for them, which is the contrary for Simon Nemec.
Kent Hughes and the Devils' GM Tom Fitzgerald have already completed multiple trades including deals for Jake Allen and Johnathan Kovacevic.
Mike Matheson have a good year so far in term of production, but his plus/minus could be better.
This trade scenario will be fascinating to follow as the deadline approaches!
