Keep the trades coming as this team stinks
Yet the defense still lacks any foundational support.
Man I liked Maatta though. He was good at his role.
This means Motte is off IR and Kasper isn't getting sent back down. He's not my first choice of defensemen we could trade, but a 3rd is strong, even if it's a 25+ pick bc the Rangers are a wagon
Please.. no more looks of Gustafson on any side. I've seen all I needed to see.
Why Maatta though?!?! He’s a cup winning veteran, defensive dman and his age fits much better than Petry, Holl, Charat. Biggest Stevie fan for decades, but he’s made some questionable choices during this rebuild. Can we please get just 1 top 6 power forward? We have the smallest top 6 forward core in the league. Wings desperately lacking a Tkachuk or Bennett. Instead we have an undersized, streaky goal scoring winger in Debrincat, while also having Kane, Raymond and a Berggren coming along. Same players essentially.
Reminds me of a new version of Tatar and Nyquist. At least then we had 2 elite centers.
I love this trade by the Wings! Open roster spot and a 3rd 🎉🎉🎉
Lets get this right, this team doesn't stink, the coaching stinks ! All these players, Including Matta had very good numbers throughout their junior and pro careers. But have you noticed that after they come to Detroit they suddenly look like they have low talent. First it happened with J. Blashill and now Lalonde. Nothing against Lalondn personally.: But we are trying to get back to being a cup quality team and Newsy is definitely over his head. WE NEED Joel Quenneville before someone else gets him ; and or we lose anymore points. This team is good enough on paper to make the playoffs THIS YEAR; and we the fans expect it this time !! NOTE- He who hesitates has lost !
I agree 100% 🍻
Määttä: scores on his own net Red Wings: pack your bags
Was hoping since he is more of a defensive dman, +- is good and utah being that desperate, he should be worth at least a 2nd rounder.
Probably wait another couple years for Petry and Ben contracts to expire before its full trottle… Hopefully
I dont call this a win/win. I call this WTF??? I put this near what Steve did with Walman, not quite but similiar. Steve felt he had to get rid of one d-man, and took the worst option to make it happen. He cleared the money to release the cap pressure. He couldve easily just kept Holl in the AHL, problem solved with the roster. I dont care if he is the only third right handed d we have. Bring any young right d u have in GR in his place, and we would probably be in a better place.
Guys, it’s Ollie maatta, not niklas Lidstrom. He is a healthy scratch some nights and has no looked great this year. We get a 3rd round pick. Cap space. An open roster spot to keep kasper up and play AJo more… yet people still complain. I swear you all are crazy
Reading the comments on this is wild. No ..we can't sell crap to other teams, they see what we see. In order to setup a potential trade for top 6 F, or solid 2nd line D man, we need cap space. Gus needs to figure it out, he needs the time to do it, or he's shipping off, but it's too early to do that.
Trade Copp now! since he’s looking halfway decent and can fool some unlucky team into thinking he’s a stud.
didnt expect it to be maata but hey i aint mad at it.
Dont forget about this happens just as Patrick Kane will play his 10th game and phase 1 of his 2,5 mil in bonuses kicks in, you much rather want to have space to carry that this year then to have it carry over to next season as a "dead cap". I think this was as much of the reason and timing of the trade (3 mil is just enough for those easy bonuses Kane have in his contract) as it is about roster spot. It's two birds in one stones kind of thing… With that said i do not understand how you had to GIVE UP a 2nd in that Walman trade when you GOT a 3rd in same type of move. Imo, Walman was a heckuva lot valueble player to us then Mattaa on a 3rd pair, but I digress… #lgrw
Well, this is decent news. I want to see new blood on the blue line.
I like Maata but this is a good move. All the best Maata!
Trading for ghost back
I was the biggest Yzerman supporter but no longer.
I'd fire him today because he's not the answer. This Detroit team is awful.
I was convinced we'd never fire him but no way does he survive Detroit having top 5 pick in the draft.
