I’d take MM over PH.

I don't know anything about his fancy stats, but just by watching you can tell he's not living up to the long term contract he was given after only playing in 20 NHL games
He could barely handle being a 3rd pairing guy this season, and ended up being arguably the worst player in the entire play in round. I consider Quenville the best coach currently in the game, and he ended up healthy scratching Matheson when it mattered most
He's still young and has the tools, so maybe a team can salvage him, but I'm shocked any team would take on his contract without receiving more in the deal. Hornqvist is older but he's still a great 2 way, top 6 winger. I don't understand this for Pittsburgh
