Why would any FA Euro want to sign with us if we just flip them before their contracts are up?

If we can get the Maata from 2-3 years ago, this will be a good deal. Not a huge fan of the deal at the moment.
I said earlier this week you basically choose between Kahun and Sikura in the bottom-six. Based on Colliton’s comments last week, it seemed pretty clear that he’s not a fan of having too many guys that lack grit.
Kahun had some solid skill, but definitely lacked the jam and willingness of a guy like Caggiula.
I hope Kahun does well in Pittsburgh though.
We need more players like Kahun, not less.
But our defense is so bad so I can see why you make this deal in hopes Maatta finds his game.
Still not saying I love it, but I can see the logic.
It’s a 5th round pick and basically irrelevant.
As far Kahun vs Maatta.... how many people here have watched him they closely the last two years?
There are a lot of gritty guys in free agency. Looks like Stan is going to do some shopping.
Well I’m glad JC can at least identify that plugging AHLers into the defense isn’t going to help anything.4 million cap hit. This trade was not on the list of priorities. This is a JC move.
I really hate Maata as a player. He is slow slow slow.
He is only 24? Maybe he's a Strome-ish change of scenery type? A stay at home to pair with Gus? I'm struggling to find a positive here.
LOL WOW, the onslaught continues boys and girls
if he plays like he did before his rookie season and the cancer and the injuries, this is a steal for the Hawks.Watch, now the consensus is that the trade sucks but slowly the HF hawks fans are gonna convince themselves this is a good deal lol
I’d agree. Also, Gritty doesn’t mean unskilled or slow
Not really. Kahun’s P/60 was about the same as Caggiula’s and Perlini’s, and those two guys have a grit/grit potential element that Kahun lacks.
Based on Colliton’s comments last week, Kahun and Sikura were the first two guys that came to my mind who don’t fit what Colliton wants in complimentary forwards.
This is idiotic, Maata is trash and so slow. I’m not so mad about losing Kahun I just want Maata no where near our lineup. If Seabrook isn’t slow enough we bring this slug. Christ!
Dude go look at the Pens board, they are saying the pylon has left the building, just two hours ago no one here would have wanted to trade Cajun for a bottom pairing slow D in Maata, but like I said the campaign to convince the HF Hawks masses that Stan has this right has begun... When will this guy just leave already? This team is in shambles...
