breaking news the debate over Mike mat’s place in the Canadians rebuild has resurfaced and it sparked some heated opinions among fans and analysts many still wonder if Ken Hughes made the right call in holding on to the veteran defenseman at last year’s trade deadline especially with his stock at an all-time high after a stellar season now with nearly 20 games into the new campaign mat’s production has slowed slightly fueling questions about whether the Habs missed their chance to cash in Brian wild didn’t mince words on the sick podcast with Tony Marinaro doubling down on his belief that Hughes and Jeff Gordon should have traded mat when his value peaked wild argues that rebuilds are about patience and sacrifice suggesting that trading veterans like mat can help accelerate the team’s long-term goals he contends that holding on to a player who likely won’t be in his prime when the Canadians are ready to contend is counterproductive Wild’s philosophy is simple stockpile assets even if it means enduring a few tough Seasons however it’s not a black and white decision mat isn’t just a productive defenseman he’s a leader both on the ice and in the room with 10 points in 16 games this season he’s still playing at a very respectable Pace projected for 51 points over a full campaign while that’s down from last year’s 62p Point breakout it’s hard to argue his value has completely tanked his Elite skating and ability to drive off fence from the back and remain critical to the Habs current structure for a young developing roster mat’s presence could be more valuable than any hypothetical return his experience can help guide players like Kaden gou Justin Baron and Arbor shage providing a stabilizing influence during Growing Pains strip away too many veterans and to rebuild risks leaving Young Players without a road map it’s also worth asking if mat’s trade value is truly lower now come deadline time teams in a playoff race could very well line up for a mobile defenseman with a history of offensive production the return could still be substantial while wild believes Hugh should act sooner rather than later patience might be the better play the Canadians aren’t in a rush to unload mat and his value might even increase as contenders look to bolster their blue lines for now Ken Hugh seems content with mat’s contributions both on and off the ice would you pull the trigger on a mat trade this season or is keeping him the smarter move the debate rolls on in Montreal goaps
