<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>FarhanLuigi</b></div><div>He makes 4.8M, elite skater with 62 points. He's not Ghostbear.
He's always been incredibly talented but was played into the ground in Florida then was a monster in Pittsburgh by every metric.

I dont think the Habs should trade him for magic beans. I do realize 95% of everyone here would rather trade every decent player for a 1st round pick but that isnt a great strategy as Mtl found out with Arturi Lehkonen for a 1st and 2nd which many called too much at the 2022 TDL yet he's irreplaceable in Colorado, today!
Matheson is also irreplaceable in Montreal and I dont think Kent Hughes is going to give away another foundational piece just to make a trade for magic beans.

This a cap league and a top pair D at 4.8M with term and still young. You dont trade that kind of known asset.</div></div>

I didn't say he wasn't good lol however I do feel like you vastly underestimate Ghost (offensively).

Value is different to every team, so to Detroit, why waste the draft capital when they can re-sign a guy they know works for them? That is working on a short term problem when bigger problems are elsewhere.

There is also the chance that he doesn't replicate his first and only 60+ season being on a new/different team.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DQavis</b></div><div>Ur telling me a 60+ pt dmen for around 3 years on a bottom 5 team doesnt fetch a mid first and 2 mid seconds for a team that would want a pp merchant?

Maybe wrong team but seider the only puck moving dmen on that team but doesnt have mathesons elite skating and pp type of playmaking</div></div>

When that team doesn’t need offense but does need to stop teams, no they don’t need him. Detroit also has Edvinsson, Walman, Maata, Chiarot with rumors they want Ghost back if it’s workable. Ghost is essentially MM offensively.

Just like MTL, Detroit has a bevy of LHD prospects for when Maata is gone next year (replaced by AJ/Wallinder) and Chiarot the year following (Wallinder/Buium).

Maybe you get that return for him, but I don’t think it will be THAT much, and certainly not from a team like Detroit.
