Sidney Crosby or not, Mike Matheson must stay

Mike Matheson has said on several occasions that he sees himself staying in Montreal. He wants to play for the Canadiens because he likes it here and because he likes the way the Habs are building, and we know that the organization likes him a lot. Jeff Gorton reminded us that the Québécois is an important player for the club, which explains why his contract has become a priority since Lane Hutson signed.It wasn’t the first time we’d heard Gorton sing the defenseman’s praises . But Matheson’s contribution doesn’t stop at his play on the ice either. He’s one of those with the experience to guide the younger players on the team. He’s the one who took over David Savard’s place and role: today, Mike Matheson is the big brother to the guys in the room. He wears a letter on his sweater, he’s helping the club build a better culture because the effort is always there when you watch him on the rink, and you have to have guys like him in the club too.Add to that the fact that he’s still so good on the ice . the team really needs him.
