Matheson is having his best season in NHL so far.
He is now tied with Rasmus Dahlin as the 10th best producing defenceman in the league.
He has been great with Canadiens this season and even though he makes blunders sometimes, he more than compensates for it with his good plays.
With that said, Canadiens are definitely in no rush to trade him, but what kind of trade value would be needed for you to be okay with trading him?

Some people said on here said to trade him. Crazy.
Seriously why trade him? Are we sure Hutson is gonna be than him? If you were one of the teams that have Dobson, Fox, Morissey or even Bouchard would you trade them one for one for Hutson? If the answer is no keep Matheson till one of the two become redundant
The question is will he make team Canada?
At what point do we stop trading away decent players and actually make a go of it with a set roster? Feels like every year we trade away players like this for futures…
To me it depends on if Matheson wants to stay in Montreal, would he prefer to contend or is he ok building this team? I love him right now and if his heart is with the Habs then keep him. However, the return is very enticing if he rather be elsewhere and we could swap for another D, maybe someone that compliments Hutsons development.
Hes gonna lose all of his value once Hutson and Mailloux take on PP1 and PP2 duty. Trade him now for a top 15 pick (MIN and NYI are great fits imo) and try to move into the the top 10 to grab another highend F. Ending up with one of Celebrini, Lindstrom and Demidov + one of Iginla, Catton and Eiserman would set our offense
People claiming we shouldnt trade him are likely the same who said we that should keep Anderson last year… Falling in love with players is what brought us Gally and Andys awfull contracts (and also prevented us from cashing in on Petry when his value was insane). You guys never learn.
And dont come and say wE nEeD VeTeRAns… Savard, Gallagher, Evans, Suzuki is enough. Cant keep our young Ds in the AHL forever either
