Where this team is right now, especially with Hutson playing as he is, there isn't a single credible reason to keep Matheson.
I'm not overreacting to these two games, but I would have traded Matheson this summer. Especially after last season and with the contract he's on.
I don't ever believe in players who suddenly double their career averages in two years at 29 & 30 years old. Sorry, I just don't. Those are outlier seasons. If Matheson played this way in Florida/Pittsburgh, he wouldn't have been traded, at least not for the small value in return.
