Description
Posting various trades with Maatta looking at what the return could be, Maatta could be retained 50% for a $1.5mil cap hit next year. Goal is to upgrade the defense with someone coming back with term. Also trying to make a prospect package that doesn't have to include the '24 1st. Hanafin would cost a 1st plus. I think Ferraro and Pettersson probably cost a 1st each but thinking a 2nd plus 2 prospects and a replacement NHLer could be accepted.

PIT: they save $1mil next year in the deal, get a pick, and a capable 6D
SJS: they would probably ask a 1st in return so maybe DET would have to add another prospect in the trade
SEA: move out a free agent they just signed getting a pick and prospect and a capable 6D in their lineup
CLB: probably the least likely to make this trade and only works if they want to move on from Provorov after acquiring him a year ago and value a pick and cap space next year more than the player, I don't think they need another 6D tho.

        I got news for ya. None of those solutions are upgrades. It’s not like Maatta is playing 25 minutes a night.

        Easy no for pittsburgh.

        Pettersson is one of the better defensive defenseman in the league, and has a good AAV.

        They're going to retool in the summer and keeping him his crucial.

        I mean if Maatta was playing a top 4 role, sure. He’s playing 16 minutes a night.
