Montreal Canadiens defenseman Mike Matheson
Social media discussions among Canadiens fans seem split regarding GM Kent Hughes’ intention to trade defenseman Mike Matheson.
In a special episode of the HI/O Show, host Jessica Rusnak, Gazette columnist Stu Cowan, former Canadiens defenseman and assistant coach Rick Green, along with hockey analytics specialist Andrew Berkshire, address this topic.
Matheson, a 29-year-old Montreal native with two years remaining on his contract and a salary-cap hit of US$4.875 million per year, ranks among the NHL’s highest ice-time players.
