Host: “Well, you mentioned the money side of it. Do you think they can come to a team -friendly agreement with Mike Matheson to keep it, since, as you said before, he could easily go into the marketing and get a lot more money?”
Anthony Di Marco: “Hij maakt wat, zoals 5.3 op dit moment, ik geloof in dat bereik. De salarislimiet zal waarschijnlijk zijn, denk ik, ongeveer $ 110 miljoen in een jaar in een jaar. Ik bedoel, ik kan me niet voorstellen dat Mike Matheson minder gaat krijgen. Dus misschien krijg je hem rond die zes tot $ 7 miljoen. Cap Rising, ga je een derde paar verdediger ten noorden van $ 6 miljoen betalen, zelfs in een wereld waar de salarislimiet $ 110 million is.
NHL rumors: the lack of offer sheets, and De Wilde and Marco Rossi don’t talk
As if I should take out my calculator, who has never been my friend, goes back to my days in high school, but I just can’t imagine that it would be feasible, especially if you have boys like Struble, such as xhekaj, you could sign a depth -Linksschot defender in a free desk, or a depth -judge. So I mean, I don’t know. I just have to think that they can get him, yes, they can get a team -friendly deal, but if it will be to play on the third pair, I can imagine how team -friendly it could be. I just think it really comes down to Guhle and Mike Matheson in the long term. “
Host: “I think you might not have to fight with the cap that goes up. You may have a little more flexibility. And it is something interesting, you said, and it is something when we discussed yesterday, and we will continue the conversation at 12 o’clock today it would not be that Mike Matheson is the perfect partner for someone like David Reibson who tries to jump in and and who does not.
It doesn’t even have to happen before the training camp starts. You could go into the season if you want, and you can wait for this. It’s fine, you can make that decision. But let’s say that David Reinbacher is shining in training camp. He starts the season. They combine them. Everyone falls in love with it. You might be like that, yes, I like this in the coming years. And then it changes your decision to expand. “
Di Marco: “Yes 100% and look, I don’t think you should make that decision now, because what if the Canadians are far from the Playoff photo, the Trade Deadline. Mike Matheson is probably one of the best rental defender on the market, and you would probably be able to get a first round Pick for him, but I think the Canadiens is this year in the Playoff photo.
And the way this blue line shakes is if you have Matheson and Reinbacher on that second pair, and then you have Guhle and Carrier on that third pair, and Lane Hutson and Dobson as your top pair. First, in my opinion, that has one of the best defenses in the Atlantic Division. And second, like where what the real drop is between perhaps Hutson and Dobson will be a cut above the rest, but from the second pair to the third pair.
NHL rumors: The best option for the Montreal Canadiens is to keep Mike Matheson
Like, for me, that is as 1a, 1b, second pair for that team. So I mean left, right on every side, on every pair, and then you have xhekaj and stroll when you seven, eight. Like, I would just not touch it now, because for the Canadians, who start leaving their reconstruction on the other side, you don’t have to hurry in these decisions, you are just worried about the here and now and now and now presents a really good option for the Canadians to have one of the most division and talented blue lines and perhaps in the conference. “
