This could get exciting!
"The Edmonton Oilers have made it known that they want to improve their defense, and sources have confirmed their interest in Canadiens defenseman Mike Matheson.
The Oilers value Matheson's mobility and his ability to carry the puck out of the defensive zone - qualities they believe would complement their high-powered offense led by Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl."

Do you think Mike Matheson has played his last game with the Canadiens?
At 31 years old, Matheson is a left-handed defenseman who recorded 31 points in 80 games with Montreal this season, after putting up 62 points in 82 games the previous season.
He's under contract for just under $5 million per year through the summer of 2026, so this will be a fascinating situation to watch in the coming hours.
