Prospect Info: Brad Morrison acquired for Olli Maatta...yet another Bowman hidden gem?

[Northernhawk]

Brad Morrison scores two goals in his first Icehogs game! Trade with LA(Maatta) another win for Bowman and the Hawks!

Looking into Brad Morrison's past hockey stats...
Man did he have a monster playoff in 2018 for the Lethbridge Hurricanes!

Could be another Brouwer, Bolland, Highmore, Hagel?

Nice debut but no he was nothing more then a contract coming back from the kings

Would love to be wrong. By the way what does this response mean?

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

He's bounced between the AHL and ECHL. He's 24. Haven't seen him, but it's kinda goofy to be excited after a single good game.

 

[TheDoorDoctor]

Anyone know how Maata is doing? My one buddy is a kings fan and didnt seem to like him but honestly have not thought that guy since the start of the season

 

[Northernhawk]

That's kinda the point I'm making...won the Maatta deal, because a midrange prospect had two goals in AHL...deal won!

But also Morrison had 37pts in 16 playoff games!!! Dylan Cozens had 16 pts on his team...that's a crazy good playoff! Lead the playoffs in scoring

Maatta is so underrated that there's now a poster saying we won the deal with an AHL journeyman.

 

[Toews2Bickell]

honestly forgot they even got a player back in that deal

 

[Northernhawk]

And now he's up in the Taxi Squad...holy Batman!

Paper transaction can’t see him playing at all. The guys they sent down need playing time. Any injuries occur Brad isn’t seeing any time

Getting someone to take his contract was a win in itself.

Getting someone to take his contract was a win in itself.

But it wasn't. It was a wash of a difference in the few thousands if they bought him out.

It was a known so easy to move or get out of low risk contract add when acquired.

With Strome still out and Bowey being the 7th dman, Morrison actually sits 13th with Pirri and Hakkarainen...so anything could happen? A forward tweets something and boom Morrison story grows!

Teply will play before him

 

[CourtneyDagger50]

Teply hasn't even been playing in RFD. If they were gonna recall someone to not play them, I wish it wasnt our damn point leader

....as an overage player. An entirely different feat than doing it as a 17-19 year old.

He was literally an adult playing against children.

And I won’t tolerate the Maatta libel in this thread.

Gantry cranes mostly. Plows, blades, side loaders, bobcats, forks at times. I work for the railroad.


This is the biggest toy I operate. The exact one.

IIRC, the buyout window changed because of Covid, which made him older than the cut off age for 1/3 buyout, and he became 2/3 by the time the new buyout window came.
