Matias Maccelli

[Barsky]

Maccelli and McBain for Josh Norris.

Done!

 

[Hale The Villain]

Mark my words - Maccelli will be a Canuck at the trade deadline. Soucy for Maccelli as a base - 2 guys that are much better than they've shown this season but address the needs of Utah and Van respectively.

How on earth does Soucy address the needs of Utah?

Also his value should be nowhere close to a 24 year old one year removed from putting up 57 points.

Maccelli isn't a fit for Ottawa unfortunately. They need a goal scorer, not a playmaker.

I would however dangle Josh Norris if we could get that in return - especially if we're unloading some cap.

He's absolutely a fit in Ottawa. We need players capable of both scoring goals and setting them up.

Maccelli could be an excellent linemate for a goal scoring center like Pinto, assuming this season is just an aberration.

If we can get Maccelli for a bargain price - great lets do it (but why would Utah?). At market value, we don't need him more than we need other things - and we have very few trade assets to go around. A goal scorer for Stutzle is much more important than another top-6 playmaker.

FWIW - I had a similar opinion when Ottawa added Chcyhrun (in regards to his handedness), and DeBrincat (regarding his contract demands). They were luxuries we realistically couldn't afford, and Maccelli is exactly that again for Ottawa IMO.

 

[YotesFan47]

That 2LW need is why I wish bear would try Maccelli with Hayton and Guenther instead of Carcs, just to see.

Maccelli and Hayton have struggled to click in the games I saw them together last season. Seems like a great match on paper, but didn't work in game. I like Mats, but I don't think he's part of our future plans. Some team is going to need a middle 6 winger with skill, that team will love Maccelli.

Soucy is a 2nd pair LHD with size, toughness, and is defensively responsible. Like Maccelli, he's had a tough season and the sudden rise of D Elias Pettersson makes Soucy more expendable, especially at their relative cap.

Utah's LHD include Sergachev and UFAs Maata and Cole. Cole is likely gone after this season - solid player but getting up there in age. Utah's RHD include Marino, Durzi, and Kesselring - all solid puck movers but not a lot of size/toughness as Cole likely departs.

[BKarchitect]

Not sure how much value he has at this point. Good playmaker and skilled but small and soft. Not a guy contending teams are going to be looking at as anything more than deep depth and the kind of guy a team looking to elevate like Utah has kind of outgrown. Can rack up some points on the right line and usage but to me he’s kind of a placeholder winger on an offensively starved team.

 

[Vitto79]

Probably a change of scenary trade target

A team like SJ should then flip later

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

I do not understand how you go from 57 points one year to 18 points the next, what happened?

I know he only played 55 games bu stillt does not explain a near 70% decline in production.

Somebody could get a steal here.

 

[Isles72]

I thought he would have been moved at the '25 deadline considering how often he was being scratched .

Lost chemistry from his line, in the coach’s doghouse and just plays something of a tweener game…if he’s a regular in your top six, you probably are constantly looking to upgrade with more of a goal scoring threat. If he’s on your third line, you’re probably constantly looking to upgrade with a bigger, stronger player who can play playoff style hockey.

He’s a slick player and I think right situation, he has the talent to score 50 points again. But it’s probably on either a bottom team or a team really hurting for any kind of depth. Utah has depth now and they are only improving as their bigger, more physical prospects start moving up the ranks (Doan, But, etc).

 

[Albatros]

Maccelli is good enough for a top six role somewhere in the NHL, just needs a good home. Probably less than a third of the teams in the league are good fits.

 

[Nucker42]

Canucks already have lots of smaller players but he’s a really good buy low candidate that could easily bounce back.

Utah already has enough picks and prospects so not sure what they would want?

Blueger could be expendable with the emergence of Raty and only has 1 year left.

Could Blueger for Mancelli be a fit? I’m not Utah fans were hoping for more but I’m not seeing it.

 

[Clint Eastwood]

How's this guy's skating? Bruins need some speed to push the pace desperately and his passing abilities make me think he can help on the powerplay as well.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

I'm wondering if Treliving takes a look.

He probably won't cost a ton, he's shown top 6 ability in the past and he's only 24.

If you pair him with Knies who is 22, and then Cowan shows he can make the team, all of the sudden you have some young blood up front which the team could use.

Problem is he's small.

He is just a guy and sure he can produce some pints but it will be as a placeholder as teams can't construct around players like this.

Hope the Canucks pass on him as he shouldn't be part of any plan, except to not make the lottery for any team.

just a player nothing to get excited about in any way.

I’ve considered Maccelli as a low cost playmaker to play with Matthews in the event that we decided to fundamentally change our cap allocation. This was after his rookie season, but Marner’s apparent departure is forcing us to reconsider it.

I don’t know if adding him is the kind of DNA change Tre was talking about in that presser. Besides, we already have Domi, who, despite all his flaws, is a good passer and plays with a bit of an edge.

 

[Chainshot]

He lost half of his PP minutes from one year to the next too (77, down from 153) - got pushed to the 2nd unit and wasn't as productive. He also lost about 2 minutes of ESTOI every game too.

 

[Bruce Granville]

With McD and MacK unavailable, Maccelli might the closest Mac to get for the Leafs.

He is quick but not overly fast, but I have seen only a little. He is very slick and skilled, exactly the type on which the Bruins should take a flier.

Usage happened. He needs competent goal scorers on his line and was great with Bjugstad and Crouse in the previous years primarily. This year not only did Crouse have a down year but he only spent about a quarter of the season on that line and spent the rest of the year mostly shuffled around. He was fantastic with Cooley and Guenther for the short period of time he played with them, and was also great with Stenlund and Kerfoot and Hayton and Doan.

I would have much rather seen him on the wings than Carcone, O'brien, or Yamamoto, But it is true that he is pretty soft and not great offensively- he does drive play decently though and doesn't deserve being the 13th forward on Utah at all.

 

[Jag68Sid87]

Mattias Maccelli for Tristan Jarry. Is that completely crazy?

Somebody was great with Kerfoot?

That is amazing to me.

 

[BKarchitect]

Mattias Maccelli for Tristan Jarry. Is that completely crazy?

Completely crazy. Utah has two NHL goalies on their roster already. They just invested a big contract into their starter. Zero reason they’d want to trade a guy with at least some value in Maccelli, for Jarry’s contract.

 

[Dead Coyote]

Somebody was great with Kerfoot?

That is amazing to me.

As a matter of fact, Kerfoots lines generally all had great possession metrics. Only Carolina, Detroit, Vegas, and LA had more lines that had better possession metrics (with over 5GP together at 5v5). Funnily enough as well, McDavid and Barkov lines were the best consistently in the league, followed by the Hagel line.

Hyman - Draisatl - McDavid - a staggering 68% CF
Hagel - Cirelli - Kucherov 64%
Verhaeghe - Barkov - Reinhart 63.71%

Maccelli - Stenlund - Kerfoot was at 67%
Bjugstad - Stenlund - Kerfoot was at 64%
