If you're familiar with PNHLe (using points vs age and league expectations to determine future upside), here's the chart for Matheson:

As a counter-point, some of the work I did for the fantasy guy involved when players are expected to break and who is ready to take a step forward. Long story short, Matheson might still be about two years away from hitting his peak.
Very interesting, thanks.
Matheson is one of those "musical chair" guys - lots of teams will have him, then drop him, etc., but the guy who ends up with him when he finally breaks out will be super lucky and will keep him for years. Those players are frustrating because you just know when you drop him the music may stop very soon and you'll regret it!
