Bowman hosed again. Why retain more than his buyout?

Holy crap, his buyout is extremely low. Why didn’t they just do that?

Not really a great deal for Chicago.

Maatta is a decent player. EjgHzYWXsAQZ0IG?format=jpg&name=medium

They retained 750k for two seasons. That's basically what the cap hit would have been for four years if they had bought him out. So that's the reasoning. This is better than a buyout.

That said, he's decent and they have much bigger issues on the team.

Good deal for the Kings to get a decent defenseman for cheap.

This is not great for the Hawks, and it could get worse if they use the cap space to sign Murray.

Not exactly the guy we were expecting to bring in, but it’s a low risk cost, and Maata still has some upside to where he could be useful. A sign that maybe Anderson could be heading back to Ontario this season (or Berlin I suppose).

this is the type of thing people post who have never actually watched him play.
He's slow as hell.
I don't know if it's a win for Chicago, considering the buyout is less than what is retained.
All I know is you gave up Kahun to get him and 1 year later you got an EHL level player back. That hurts.

Maybe I'm missing something, but is an alright, if underwhelming top 6 defenseman really ONLY worth an ECHLer WITH retained salary? God.

Probably didn't want dead cap space on the DeBrincat, Dach and Boqvist re-signing years since its a flatcap

No, but there’s still a fair amount of question marks on the left side as to if players are going to be NHL ready (Bjornfot, Clague, possibly Anderson), so this is just more insurance than anything else.
