Canes pass. I get why people think Matheson has a lot of value, but given he gets #1 ice time for a rebuilding team, which is ice time he simply won’t get on a contender, he is a buyer beware kind of player. Like has been said numerous times for the Canes, for the rest of his current contract, he would be at best the 3LD (this year behind Slavin and Orlov, next year behind Slavin, Nikishin, and potentially Orlov if he is re-signed). For the Canes, they only really need a 3LD stopgap for a single year, preferably one who is more of a DFD. Matheson has value if he is going to be utilized as a #1 dman, outside of that he simply doesn’t hold that value.

Canes need a forward to replace the loss of Necas, and there are only 3 forwards on Montreal they would have interest in, and none of which Montreal is moving. Habs can try another offer sheet, but with some of the quality prospects they have coming up I highly doubt they go that route.
