The Montreal Canadiens and a veteran blueliner could stay together beyond this season despite speculation to move on.
Montreal Canadiens veteran blue liner Mike Matheson hopes to stick with the club beyond this season. The 31-year-old is in the final year of his current deal and potentially staring at free agency this summer.
Matheson had been the subject of rampant trade speculation this past trade deadline. Trade talk intensified when the Canadiens landed Noah Dobson in a blockbuster trade with the New York Islanders.
