Mathias Brunet has just made a major statement involving the 10th overall pick in the 2024 draft and Montreal Canadiens defenseman Mike Matheson.

Mike Matheson traded to the New Jersey Devils for the 10th overall pick? Mathias Brunet has addressed the question, and it's very interesting
On BPM Sports radio, just moments ago, journalist Mathias Brunet mentioned this.
From what I hear, the Devils are looking for a left-handed defenseman, so if they can bite on Matheson, if you offer Matheson�and maybe something extra, given he has only two years left on his contract�to acquire the 10th overall pick [via trade] in Montreal, I hope New Jersey bites, given the current context of the Canadiens.» - Mathias Brunet, via BPM Sports
So, the Devils are searching for a left-handed defenseman who is established and on a good contract�a description that fits Mike Matheson perfectly!
And you, would you trade Mike Matheson in a deal to acquire the 10th overall pick in the 2024 draft?
Kent Hughes and the Canadiens would then have the 5th, 10th, and 26th overall picks.
