We recently had an interesting discussion about the Montreal Canadiens and Calgary Flames defensemen on BPM Sports.
It's intriguing, especially since the great Bob Hartley even shared his opinion.
A Hypothetical Trade Between the Montreal Canadiens and the Calgary Flames, Discussed on BPM Sports with Martin Lemay and Bob Hartley
Here, we're talking about a hypothetical trade involving defensemen Rasmus Andersson and Mike Matheson.
Let's just say Bob Hartley is quite definitive in his response.
Matheson or Andersson?
"Even my six-year-old granddaughter could answer that!" - Bob Hartley
"Even my six-year-old granddaughter could answer that!" - Bob Hartley
Watch the clip here:
"Andersson vs Matheson, do the two GMs call each other?" - Martin Lemay
"Hey! There's no comparison, stop!" - Bob Hartley
"Who says no?" - Martin Lemay
"I hope Craig Conroy (Calgary) says no! Andersson skates circles around Mike Matheson. It's not even close, stop. [...]
Rasmus Andersson is a fantastic hockey player, and I'm not saying Mike Matheson is a celery stick, Mike Matheson is an excellent defenseman, but there's no comparison, Rasmus is much superior." - Bob Hartley

It's really interesting. Do you agree with Hartley that Andersson is that much better than Matheson? It's sparking a heavy debate.
Matheson, age 30, has 10 points in 16 games this season, with a -9 rating. (62 points in 82 games last season)
Andersson, age 28, has 11 points in 17 games this season, with a +1 rating. (39 points in 78 games last season)
So, who would you take first, Rasmus Andersson or Mike Matheson, considering the current context of the Montreal Canadiens?
