Mike Matheson : His agent thinks he could stay in Montreal
Credit: We all know that the Montreal Canadiens have one of the most beautiful prospect pools in the NHL. Already, the current core is very young (Suzuki, Slafkovsky, Caufield, Hutson, Guhle…), and there are also Ivan Demidov, Michael Hage, and Jacob Fowler who will eventually join the club.

We all know that the Montreal Canadiens have one of the most beautiful prospect pools in the NHL.

Already, the current core is very young (Suzuki, Slafkovsky, Caufield, Hutson, Guhle…), and there are also Ivan Demidov, Michael Hage, and Jacob Fowler who will eventually join the club.

However, you can’t win with just young players: you need veterans to surround them.

It’s a bit difficult to predict which veterans will still be with the club in three years, but there’s one in particular who has a good chance of staying in the Quebec metropolis.

This is what Mike Matheson’s agent recently mentioned about his client in an interview with TVA Sports.

Philippe Lecavalier, who is also the agent of Alexandre Carrier and Kris Letang (among others), seems quite confident that Matheson will stay with the Canadiens after his contract (which ends next year).

In the interview with TVA Sports, Lecavalier praised his client’s qualities, especially his skating, while mentioning that he is still young enough to be part of the team’s core for a few more years.

« He is also very fast. Usually, what hurts an aging player the most is that they slow down. But in Michael’s case, he’s not slowing down, and I don’t think that will happen, even at 40 years old. » – Philippe Lecavalier

It’s hard not to agree with him, since Matheson’s skating is undoubtedly his greatest asset.

Even if he slows down with age, he will still be faster than other players his age.

Okay, I don’t know how effective Matheson will be at 40, but he won’t be a turtle.

Obviously, as a Montrealer, Matheson wants to stay in Montreal.

« For him, playing with the Canadiens is a childhood dream, and continuing his career there is what he wants. » – Philippe Lecavalier

Matheson can help the Canadiens in the coming years, even as he ages, at 31 years old.

The future is bright in Montreal, and it will take veterans like the Quebec defenseman to surround all these young players.


In a nutshell

– Big win for the Laval Rocket.

– A second-round pick for Armia, that’s a pretty interesting return.

– We all want Ovechkin to break Gretzky’s record this season.

– What a dunk by Scottie Barnes.

– A great life experience for this dog.
