<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PuzzledActuary</b></div><div>Berg is older than Raymond, not really a rookie/prospect anymore. He should have way more than 82 games played at this point but was kept in GR for asset management purposes.

AJ will be 24 next year, also not really a rookie, more just a prospect who's never cracked the NHL lineup. Hopefully he gets a real chance and proves to be a nice NHL DMan.

Edvinsson, I guess, will technically be a rookie, but obviously already penciled in for NHL duty next year.

So you have Mazur and Kasper, and a $9.2M fourth line.

I like Veleno (way more than Ras, actually), but he'd be lucky to get half of that.</div></div>

according to the NHL definition, Edvinsson is no longer Calder eligible, his "rookie season" was technically this season. it's a bit dumb how they do it, but by their definition, Edvinsson is not a rookie next year

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>squashmaple</b></div><div>Olli Määttä is not an improvement to the team is what everyone in this post is trying to tell you. He's not better than Werenski. He's not better than Provorov. He's not even better than Jake Bean. And at least one of the latter two of those are likely on the block to make room for Denton Mateychuk to get some NHL minutes next season. There are plenty of ways Columbus can improve next year, but adding Olli Määttä isn't one of them.</div></div>

I dont even know why we are arguing about this lol

Must be another year without the playoffs for me as a Wings fan

I just think you are "under-valuing" Maatta a bit, but I get it, youd rather play Jiricek or Mateychuk or Svozil, or a prospect making less $ than Maatta

I do think someone out there takes Maatta from us, and we likely dont need to retain, but I guess that team isnt Columbus.
