Depends on Pettersson and what their plans are with the defense going forward.
I was trying to write out some if statements to make my opinion, but it's just very complicated and depends on a lot of factors. Let's say that Pettersson is amazing this year (like he has been so far) and Matheson is also amazing, what you do with Matheson depends on what your plans are with Letang IMO.
Letang and Matheson are much different players. Matheson is likely only playing half the season with the injury (if playing at all). Pettersson has proven to be a top four D here and is much younger and produces about the same offensively as Matheson point wise.
