He didn’t really feast on a line with Strome and Debrincat. I doubt he’s going to get so much better in Pitts all of the sudden.Kahun is going to feast in Pittsburgh...
To be clear, I don’t give a flying **** about Stan Bowman. For all I care, he could already be out on the street and I wouldn’t feel any different.
I’m not campaigning for his ass.
I want this trade to work out positively because I WANT THE HAWKS TO WIN.
If he rebounds, he helps them win. That’s what I’m campaigning for. Not to just drown myself in misery and whine like a child about the GM.
no offense, but Crosby and Malkin far exceed Strome and Cat - he likely steps in there on one of their wingsHe didn’t really feast on a line with Strome and Debrincat. I doubt he’s going to get so much better in Pitts all of the sudden.
who gives a shit about Pens fans, and most Yotes fans thought they just traded a busted pylon away in Strome. I think this trade f***ing sucks and not because of another idiot fanbase..Look at what the pens fans are saying, they have been waiting for him to gain foot speed for the past two seasons and no success, he is slow and that doesn’t change much as a hockey player, we all know that by now. Stan got another pylon to over take the tank command from Seabrook.

Because they get playing time and they do well here which earns them millions.Why would any FA Euro want to sign with us if we just flip them before their contracts are up?

Yeah, he’d fit in well with either, probably a 40-50 point player in Pittsburgh. Is what it is, don’t like the value but at the same time, it prevents them from doing something crazy to try to fix the defense.
Joker should be on this team before 4 K.Someone still needs to go, right?

I said fan bases are idiots - you seem to be basing this on their reactions and not your own eyes..my own eyes said Maata sucked last year and the year before, I just don't get it to be honest.They watch him 82 games per year... You can get a perspective, to say all that they say is irrlelevant is idiotic...
I’m sure somebody on here said that when he traded for Strome. Let’s take a chill pill, Kahun is a third liner, nothing more.
Maatta isn't anywhere close to being a generational talent. He's a turnover machine. Watch any highlight reel goal scored against the Pens and you'll see Mattaa getting burned.He is only 24? Maybe he's a Strome-ish change of scenery type?
This makes me think that Kurashev makes this team and/or they are looking to sign another wing. Dzingel perhaps?
This deal is all dependent if Maata bounces back from a rough season.
Maata is not a great skater but has learned what he can and can’t do on the ice. He is conservative player who is solid in his own end. He is not physical. Makes a solid first pass. Crazy but he is only 24 so he is just entering his prime.
If he bounces back to form this will be a good trade and if he does not it will be bad. This is a change of scenery deal as well (similar to Strome).
I give this trade a C/C+ for now.

Strome lacked speed too, and he looks like a guy that Colliton knows how to properly use.
I’m just making it very clear to you that my optimism here is solely because I want the Hawks to win, and I hope Colliton is able to revive this kid’s career and use him effectively.
For me, this has zero to do with defending Bowman.
