Maatta.
Maatta can't skate, Letang can. Maatta has a brain, Letang on the other hand... Perfect duo.
If you could combine Letang's athleticism and Maatta's brain, you'd get Bobby Orr.

There's no way Riikola starts in the AHL after that kind of performance, especially if Dumoulin is injured.
Is it just me or does Rust look better than he ever has? Kid looks electrifying.
\He gets better every year. Not dramatically but there is always improvement. Seems like he really works on an aspect every off season and it’s slowly all coming together.
I always love the Maatta and Letang pairing not being good when they played almost exclusively with each other in 15-16 when Letang was 4th in Norris votes.
And we were scared Riikola wouldn't get an opportunity.
You aren't wrong. But those years are like ages ago vs how they look on the ice now...maybe they can get the band back together and sum of the parts be great with each other again.
Phil with Geno is the wrong play. It's going to happen, but it's a bad fit for two reasons. One, Geno plays away from his strengths and to his weaknesses. Two, it's not a combination designed to promote Geno's long term health. I get why Sully did it . . . gotta keep Phil happy and stuff. But. it's the wrong play.
I’d rather Riikola play with Letang.
Perhaps. People are scared Riikola cant cover for Tanger. But, in a way, you figure Riikola is scared enough about having a job, he might try really really really hard to cover gaps. Eh?
ZAR barely looks like an AHL 3rd liner, but let's give him time to figure his game out in the AHL again. Time will tell with these guys. **** happens.
I don't think it's reasonable to expect more from Aston-Reese any time soon. He's trying to make the jump at NHL power forward after spending five months eating his dinner with a straw. Wherever the talent he has would have otherwise taken him, an NHL gig in 18/19 is just not going to happen.
We've discussed this quite a bit. We've all agreed that is respectable and understandable. Even if it's a full year getting back together. I'm not saying cut him or whatever. I think we agree completely.
He is that dumb... but he is beautiful.

Rust creates most of his offense on his off-wing and seems to gravitate to that side so he can protect the puck.
I’ve read where people think he plays more comfortably at rw, but I’ve continually noticed Rust prefers that left side when he gets the puck.
I think he was just a cheapish knee-jerk signing to threaten our 3/4th liners with 'an NHL ready player'....but....our forwards are looking like they wont need much pressure to perform and kinda makes Grant pointless.
I think.

It’s more like Letang puts his partner through the ringer while being especially bad since his neck surgery and I’d rather not have that happen to the guy with 0 nhl games and 8 (?)
preseason games if Letang is still extra crazy.
Btw. hi all - hope you had great Summers .
When aren't we a buyer?
We also could be a seller . . . I suspect of Maatta.
