Maatta isn't bad...I think the pens were hoping he would improve some over his first couple years. He's a solid D that everyone wishes was a little quicker in his foot races.
He was a lock at the #5 D...until everyone returned. Then found himself sitting in that #6 or #7 spot...looking in on some playoff games.
Pens got swept...so whether this is the decision that needed to be made has yet to be seen.
Picked up a faster guy in Kahun who had some PP and PK time on a team that didnt make the playoffs...and only has a year up...Im not sure this is a 'steal' just yet.
Kahun for Maatta...sounds like a kids song meaning no worries. Just putting that out there....
