Maatta is often mispronounced that I have no idea how pronounce his name. It's either matt-a or ma-tta.


neither nor.
it's Määttä. the "ä"is closer to "e" than to "a" in it's pronounciation.

I can see Chytil (Hee-til) quickly joining the ranks in this thread when he joins the league

Maybe Jordan Szwarz ... people say it like Schwartz in St. Louis ...

Speaking of Jaden Schwartz, is he returning at all? Why did he just get put on LTIR?

It is, but the actual sound made isn't akin to mashing 'a' and 'e' together.

Wikipedia's International Phonetic Alphabet guide to Finnish has English approximations for the 'ä' and 'ää' sounds: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA/Estonian_and_Finnish

Small fracture in his ankle. And when said the American way, Szwarz does sound like Schwartz. But in his native Polish, it's "Shvazh".

If you want to get even more technical, it's "HEE-tyil". When placed before an i, or when spelled with a diacritic, the letter t is prounced like a "ty".

Is he ever returning? I thought LTIR was usually for guys who are out long term.
I used to think it had a ch sound but then i noticed it was more of an H.

It's only used when teams need extra cap space. Kinda like how David Clarkson isn't on LTIR, even though he's never going to play again. Vegas doesn't need any extra cap space, so they just leave him on IR.

Also, for example, last season for Dallas, Mattias Janmark was out the whole season because of a knee injury. But Dallas didn't need to put him on LTIR because they had cap space. And this season, Dallas put Marc Methot on LTIR, even though he was only out for 4-6 weeks, because they were tight against the cap and still needed to call up players.

After he was injured, it was said he'd be re-evaluated in 6 weeks, and that was a little over a week ago. So he's 4-5 weeks away from a re-evaluation. Since we don't know the actual extent of the injury, it's hard to say if/when he'll return at all this season.

I would think so. I haven't heard anything that would suggest this is a Fabbri-like injury.
