Matikka and Lavoie are tracking very nicely.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.
I think that’s the best thing we can say about him.Cole's teammate on two Penguin Cup wins.
I did not know he was still in the league.I think that’s the best thing we can say about him.
is kesselring out too?!With all 3 starting RHD(Marino, Durzi, Kesselring) out for the next game we really needed a warm body at this point. Maata is an upgrade over Bortuzzo so thats something positive.
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.I did not know he was still in the league.
Just sick, might be out just a game.is kesselring out too?!
San Jose landed Liljegren
Assumption on your part.Toronto's ask was more than what BA wanted to pay and San Jose is desperate.
Yep.Assumption on your part.
Or maybe BA didn't like or want Liljegren?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.
