Confirmed Signing with Link: [CBJ] Blue Jackets sign Stefan Matteau (2 years, $700k AAV, 2-way)

Why?

 

[Ridley Simon]

For people that didn't already know: he's the son of Stephane Matteau.

this gets the whole entire (and I mean ALL) “But Why?????!!!!!” Meme’s you can come up with.

I mean, I totally get the “I’m naming my son after me” thing. It’s straight from the Anglo-Saxon naming playbook (hell, I’m the 3rd in my family, so...yeah), but to do it, with 2 very similar yet different spellings of the 1st name?

WTF is that? You either do it, or you don’t. What’s this half ass shit???

edit — you can type shit now?? lol. What the f***?

Zacha was Shero no?

Shero only just got to NJ. Lou was "promoted" up at that point.

Shero followed Lou/Conte's plan for that draft. Word at the time though was that Mackenzie Blackwood was Shero's pick.

Anyway, Matteau sucks. Terrible pick by Lou.

His dad's effort level was near legendary. Could Stefan also craft an NHL career in the bottom six?

I’m still bitter Lou didn’t forfeit the puck that turned into Matteau.
There is no logic at all to it whatsoever and I’d love to hear Lou’s reasoning .
It would be something like “ because I felt like it and no one can tell me what to do and I think we will pick 30th next year so I’m taking this years pick ....”
This and the Zacha pick drive me crazy . I like Zacha but only reason he was drafted at that spot was because Lou was going into the season with zero NHL C and took the most NHL ready kid ...
Larkin and Rantanen sound a little better than Zacha and Matteau .

I'm still bitter that the Devils were the only team to get punished for something 1/4th of the league did.

I believe this joke originated many moons ago on NY sports talk radio. Steve Somers, overnight on the FAN, if I recall correctly.

Why?

He was on an AHL only deal. Have you seen the CBJ injury list? They are running out of forwards.

First game up and he’s got a goal!
