Wings pass, they have 6M LD and doesn't need anymore

Explain to me why Washington is paying a 2nd for a player making 4.5m and hasn’t done **** in years? Honestly the 2nd should be going to other way.

Edvinsson, Wallinder, Johansson, Buium, Cleveland. Detroit is fine at LD.

Maybe they’d take a shot at Barron depending on how the right side of the defense shakes out, but Matheson isn’t really needed. They have Slavin and Orlov already and there’s a possibility of Nikishin coming over as soon as this coming season. Even if it’s next year, having well over 15 mil tied up in 3 LHD with the uncertainty in the forward core isn’t the smartest option. Matheson would need to be replaced with one of your better forward prospects.

Armia will not return anything close to that kind of return. You’re lucky to get a 4th.

The Nashville trade is hilarious

Im a Habs fan and i like all the trade except for Necas, Matheson worth more than you think

Edvinsson (21) Johansson (23) Wallinder (21) and Buium (21)... Yeah bro, Detroit is dying for more young LHD!

Never let this guy be a GM, he will rob teams without their consent and get robbed by Don

"Hey Trotz, we want to trade up. We'll give you Joel Armia if we swap places"

You should be if you can somehow convince all these teams to make those horrible trades.

Canes aren’t trading a young top 6 forward for a 30 year old defenseman they don’t even need

Well as every team bar MTL declines I'd say yeah if you got those through you should probably get the job. Now show us the version where you aren't doing drugs?

Quite a few Habs fans severely over value Matheson. There was a thread a couple of weeks ago where some Habs fans felt Matheson for Necas was a fair trade.

LMFAO

Necas is worth nothing more than a 3rd or 4th right now since it would just be the value of his signing rights being sold.

He’s an rfa aka it’s more than his signing rights. They can just go the arb route and keep him. What a silly take.

Edvindsson is the only one with experience in the NHL and he have 25GP at 21 years old... We don't know if Detroit is fine at LD.

Yeah... it's true that with Orlov and Slavin, Matheson might not be needed. But he still have a smaller salary and he's the 9th point leader as defensemen in the league.
And unfortunatly, MTL do not have a forward prospect to trade. At best, a 1st pick maybe.

Stop. Trying. to trade. Matheson.. Matheson > Necas x3

Seriously, with the way they react to some trades involving him, you’d think they were trading away Quinn Hughes

Walman, Maata, Chiarot there until the prospects are ready. Detroit is fine at LD.

He is an rfa for what 1 or 2 more years, not like 4 or 5. Taking him to arb would still just meant they are only guaranteed to get him for 1 year as well so still its basically just his signing rights

So 2 years of play is the same as a UFA now? twist your logic some more..

No but it isn't the same as trading for an RFA with 5 years of team control either. Add to that the fact that the Canes have to move him to sign other more important players and that according to his own father he would prefer to move on from the Canes for a bigger role elsewhere and you are not getting the value you think you would

Quite a bit different than your initial post saying he’s worth a mid round pick. They won’t get a massive haul for him but they’ll get good value for him in the form of higher draft picks and/or prospects or involve him in a hockey trade. Look at historical comps and you’ll easily see that precedent. Regardless of an angry parent lol
