Description

Gotta find a way to move Johnson. No other option. He doesn't have a spot, even as a 5/6 guy if Matheson is to be successful. I've heard that if used correctly, Matheson can score. He can produce. He takes shots. Advanced stats show that he at least is attempting to produce offensively. Tanev would be an amazing partner for him.
