That’s a good trade for both. Maata isn’t good but neither is Detroit and Utah needs to do something. They can easily afford to trade a 3rd.

Will be interesting to see if this means the market is more open and prices aren’t going to be too crazy.

Gross. Maatta is poo.

Hronek had the same two year left as Anderson does but had an extra year of control because he was an rfa. Chychrun had three years left. And the Lindholm trade was basically a sign and trade.

Oh I read your post too quickly, saw Lindholm and just assumed you were talking about Elias.

Don't think that Maatta trade bodes well for us but Utah had absolutely no leverage.

Unsurprisingly prices are going to be high since no one is selling this early in the season and everyone wants to add something.

Yeah we just need to hold till like late Nov and the price will probably come down

I guess when you lose a game to the Sharks with three late third period goals against, desperate times call or desperate measures in Utah's case.

It seems everyone in the league is desperate for defensemen. Guys are going down like nine-pins, and most clubs just don't have any depth in the minors.

Based on those YouTube highlights of Wilander's play at BU, I'd almost be willing to consider signing him to his ELC in March and plugging him into the lineup. Is he ready? Probably not.

But this Canuck blueline is really a shambles right now. And their only other option is blowing a big chunk of their future in acquiring a guy like Zadorov at the TDL.

And speaking of Zadorov, watched two periods of the Boston-Philly game tonight. The Canucks dodged a huge bullet by not re-signing him, based on what I witnessed tonight.

Detroit trades Maata to Utah for a 3rd rounder

The fact that we arguably got Zadorov cheaper just shows how great of a deal that was for the Canucks. Still blows my mind that the Flames couldn’t get more than a 3rd in 2026, and 5th.
