Renowned insider David Pagnotta has just revealed the surprising price to pay if Kent Hughes and the Montreal Canadiens want to keep Mike Matheson.

– David Pagnotta

According to Pierre Lebrun, Matheson is looking to secure at least 4-5 years for it to make sense for him.

Pagnotta has now provided more concrete figures.

Here’s what he said about it:

David Pagnotta: Re Mike Matheson negotiations: “I could see that being in that $6.25 to $7m dollar range on a three year term.” – Hello Hockey

That really seems to be the true price tag!

We can’t overlook how vital he’s been to the team’s success this season – and really, over the past few years as well. Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton are surely well aware of that.

So, here’s the real question:

At $6 or $7 million per year for three seasons, would you immediately re-sign Mike Matheson in Montreal?

This will definitely be a situation to monitor closely over the next few days, especially now that we know it’s a top priority for Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton.
