I don't believe a player can join a junior team this late in the season. There is a roster deadline in the WHL of February 10. It's possible there might be some rule that allows him to join them late if he was on a reserve list or something.
Everett holds his WHL rights. Right now, they're second in their Division behind Seattle, so they will be in the playoffs.
If nothing else, I'd expect Matthews to play for Team USA at the World Championships, but that's still almost two months away.
