On BPM Sports, Mathias Brunet explained that the Devils are looking for a left-handed defenseman. Matheson, with his attractive contract and two years remaining, could be the centerpiece of this trade.
The Devils, seeking an established and reliable defenseman, might be interested in Matheson. In return, the Canadiens would obtain the 10th pick, adding to their existing 5th and 26th picks.
Mathias Brunet suggests that Kent Hughes and the Canadiens should seize this opportunity if it arises. Mike Matheson, 30, scored 62 points in 82 games this season and is under contract until 2026.
