I don’t have real-time access to current news right now. Here’s what I can tell you based on recent public reporting up to late 2025:

Mike Matheson has been a frequent subject of Canadiens coverage, with multiple outlets noting his role as a seasoned defenseman and his impact on the lineup. Some reports highlighted his minutes and importance to the team, especially given changes on the blue line.[3][5]
There were discussions in 2024–2025 about workload and potential contract considerations, including extensions and how his role might evolve with younger players joining the defense corps.[4][6][3]
In late 2025, there were strong indications from various hockey-focused outlets that Matheson’s future with Montreal was a point of debate, including his value as a trade asset versus his leadership and on-ice contributions.[6][9]

Canadiens: Business As Usual For Mike Matheson

It’s fair to say that Montreal Canadiens Mike Matheson was overworked last season.
