    Why? He was awful for the Habs last year?

  2. penguins2946

    I don’t really miss Matheson himself with the addition of Karlsson, but I do wonder how this team could be different at this point with Pettersson-Letang and Matheson-Marino as their top-4 D.

  3. That’s crazy matheson even got 60. Ice time being 22+ I get

  4. dakstraker

    He puts the ā€œefenseā€ in defense.

    Sometimes I miss coast to coast Mike but I never miss defensive zone coverage breakdown Mike.

  6. dudemanspecial

    Revisionist history to think he was a game changer, but he sure was smooth to watch.

  7. Partially-Functional

    watching him go coast to coast and snipe bar down from the left half boards was a real treat. i wouldn’t rewrite history tho, bc that means no ek65.

  8. Every year turd players rejuvenate themselves in shitty teams because no need to win and absurd amount of playing time.

    Hextall’s asset management was fucking awful

    Turned Matheson into Petry and Poehling, a year later both were gone, turned Marino into Ty Smith, Kapanen cost a 1st round pick to acquire and was given away on waivers, lost Tanev for free, McCann was traded for a 7th round pick and Hallander, who went on to play 3 NHL games, recording 0 points

    Dubas inherited a dumpster fire

    Man 2022 playoffs this guy turned into an offensive god.

    He is also a crazy good skater.

    The habs absolutely stole him and are going to get a haul when they move him.

    As we should beā€¦ maybe Karlsson gets back to >70 this year with Quinn but we should have never been in a place where we had to go after a guy like that. Hextall is the worst thing to ever happen to this franchise

    I still have nightmares of Ron Hextall ruining our franchise.

    62 points and -24? So he was bad 5v5 which was his issue his whole career. I get plus minus is a misleading stat but I think it tells the story pretty well here. He played a ton of time, the team was bad, got scored on a bunch and missed the playoffs. We didnā€™t need another offensive focused defenseman with EK. Not sad about losing MM
