Hello Coyotes fans. Just wanted to let you know that name Matikka literally means mathematics in Finnish. Do what you want with this information.

Excellent spot for his development. Warming up to this pick a bit with this news. Also we could use some larger wingers in Tucson in a couple seasons.

It means we've got math geeks in this draft class. Well, "Math, Geeks". (and as a math geek myself, I appreciate this)

Can we get him to do my stats exams?

Interesting interview. Interesting kid.

Whoa he was in AZ two weeks ago? Seems like our team is really selling these kids on the team/city and vision. Having Lutz and Matikka in the pipeline is very interesting for the future bottom 9. I love how this kid knows exactly what he needs to work on and exactly what he his homework is. He states everything so matter of factly. Really like the way this kid presents himself, gotta hop into some film. Hope we don't lose him after college, I'm not thrilled about having him in COL's backyard, may need to try to entice him with a AHL contract after a season or two in NCAA.

His interview is very similar to how Perlini would speak about things. Luckily he seems to love hockey where Perlini seemed to constantly be in an existential crisis.

Kiviharju's second pick with the org after Korhonen last year.

 

[LaMasquerade]

Small correction: He played finnish U20 league last season for Jokerit, not Liiga (men's pro league here). Jokerit isn't Liiga team, their men squad played in KHL. They're planning to join Liiga in 23-24 season though..

Looks like Conor Geekie is wearing a Matikka jersey.

Certainly a calculated move to draft him, then.

I dunno, that joke just didn't add up for me.

The running of the puns season is afoot.

Trying to divide and conquer the group eh?

Another selection with a super impressive interview. Very focused, knows what he needs to work on, and wants to improve and be a special player. All of the above with some form of excitement/knowledge of the Coyotes Management team's plans to build a Stanley Cup Contender. Eerily similar to many of the other draft picks they selected.

There seems to be a brainwashing occurring in front of our eyes that ends with a Stanley Cup hoisted in the air.......

That's my pi-baked theory anyways.

Forgive me for being derivative.

Don't know that much about this player, but his prodcution seems like a bit of a "red flag". 33 points in 30 games for such a big skilled guy and one of the oldest players in the draft. But mostly just stat watching so possibly wrong.

Apparently was injured part of the season, so maybe that had something to do with his inconsistency.
