Confirmed with Link: Utah HC acquires Olli Maatta from DET for 2025 3rd (NYR) [UPD: Signs 3-year extension $3.5M AAV]
- Thread starter TheLegend
- Start date
Rangers pick will be a late 3rd, and that's a good price for a solid, decent, entirely pretty good NHL defenseman.
Of all the 3rd round picks in Coyotes history, Adin Hill (2015) and Michael Stone (2008) are the only ones maybe more valuable than Maatta. Only a handful of later picks (Yandle, Maccelli, Winnik, Garland, maybe Clifton) are better than Maatta.

Cole's teammate on two Penguin Cup wins.

Matikka and Lavoie are tracking very nicely.
Our current scouting group is exceptional at getting value out of picks.

I think that’s the best thing we can say about him.
I don't think this will be the only trade. Still would like to get Provorov from the BJs. Now it won't hurt if we ship a lesser LHD so the BJs can keep Mateychuk in Cleveland.
Schmaltz with 40% retention and Valimaki for Provolov

He was basically a nothing burger in Chicago, as I recall. I think Pittsburgh success just shows what a team playing the right way consistently can accomplish.
Edit: of course having a few complete studs never hurts either.

He was real solid in game one, but as I mentioned above, the entire team was. Hope they keep it up!

Hangman's bookie.... Always bet against him.
For coming in off the plane that morning and playing that night...... he did fine. Played a big part in getting one of our goals even though he didn't make the score sheet.

Yep.
Maata and Liljegren are different players. Maybe the small difference in acquisition cost is why Bill chose Maata, or maybe it was the stronger defensive track record.

Honestly Maatta was more reliable than Petry, Chiarot, and Holl. I think he was the odd man out because he had the only movable contract out of the 3. Maatta is a solid 3rd pair guy and with a steady role he can put up 20 points with minimal bonehead plays.

Based on what Toronto got.... not really.
Toronto got a D in return and we didn't have that luxury given we're short on NHL serviceable D right now.
Were you in the room? You have no idea what BA is thinking. You could be right OR you could be wrong. 100% assumption.

This is an message board it's all assumptions and opinions except for what I say... That's 100 percent fact lol
Mine are 90% homerisms and 10% attempts at being funny!, like making fun that they still haven't changed the updated date in the "prospect watch" thread.
Monday 11/28/2024? LOL!
You don't state something like fact when you have no clue what happened because you weren't there.
