Mike Matheson
You may be wondering how Mike Matheson is a player to watch with all the young prospects taking part in camp. The rookies are definitely the ones you want to watch, but Matheson plays a massive role in their camp as well. Matheson is the current leader of the first powerplay unit but his play in other areas took a hit last season. One thing to monitor with Matheson is if his defensive play continues to regress, and another is if he loses his first powerplay spot to Hutson.
If both of these things happen for Matheson, it could leave Kent Hughes and the front office some intriguing questions to answer about his future with the team.
