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.
