Maatta isnt terrible but he just doesn't do much of anything. He needs to be paired with a quicker defense man and doesnt bring alot of offense

I agree with this and it's true that it's not the end of the world. This is clearly a better trade than Hall for Larsson. I could see him next to Joki. I really like these trades and the look of the team. Clarkson is a bit a tough pill to take. We still have a number of players with bonuses we need to consider for the following year. I also think Vegas doesn't have that issue so it's pretty easy for them to just keep him. It would probably need to be an Reaves or Holden that gets sent back with Eakin.

It's actually not a bad deal. Kahun is a very easily replaceable player, and Chicago needed a left handed d-man that was younger to bring up with their core. All their good prospects on defence are right handed, so a younger guy like Maatta is a good fit. He gets a lot of trash talking about him, but he's still a very capable shutdown d-man. Pair him long term with the likes of one of Jokiharju, Boqvist, or Mitchell and he'll fit in perfect and no one will complain.

On a side note, I think this kinda move all but guarantees that the Hawks are taking Turcotte over Byram at #3 in the draft. So it fits the team well and at a relatively cheap cost.
