Matheson

Michael Matheson is a solid defenseman, but he's not worth two 1st round picks.

With his contract, age and production? He absolutely is. Especially considering the fact that we are talking about two probable late first.

Chychrun didn't return two firsts when he was traded from the Coyotes last year. His production was better, his contract was cheaper, and he had the same term remaining.

Matheson is worth less than Chychrun.

ARZ wasnt in a position of strenght as it was clear that they were trying to deal him. Also, that first was top 10 at the time and only top 2 or 3 protect which adds tremendeous value. And there was a second + attached to it. Matheson is absolutely worth the above

Oh and Mathesons production is better than Chychruns at the time.
