I have next to no issue with Matheson’s game this season.

What more do you want from him?

I'd say more consistency. He's kinda similar to Schultz, in that he'll show flashes like last night where everything is working for him. Then he'll have nights where he just looks lost and has no idea what he's doing out there.
It's maddening because you can see how good he could be, but it's like a 20% full success rate (with 20% complete failure and 60% somewhere in between).

I've been pleasantly surprised by Matheson for most of the year generally...I don't have a lot of time for players whose best asset is skating, but he's translating it well enough...he's converting it into puck possession for our forwards, we're a heavy pinch team, and we really don't even let our D think about it too much...just skate down the wall and keep the puck alive. Math is really good at playing down hill, and not an amazing processor of information. It's a good match.

Sure all that is fair, but being consistent is something that very very few players possess. And the more skill you add to your game (Math has quite a bit obviously) the tougher consistency becomes. If he were most consistent, he would double his salary.

This season?Then he'll have nights where he just looks lost and has no idea what he's doing out there.

I haven't noticed Matheson having many particular horrible nights this season. Of course nights like last night are rare, but I think he's been pretty good by and large. Same with - gulp - Pettersson?

Agreed. The only time I’ve noticed Pettersson was the night he took like three minors.

Matheson has exceeded expectations. The only reason anyone has any issue with his play at all is because of his contract.
I don't think you'll do much better on your 3rd pair.
