Yeah that's a lot for Maatta, but Utah was pressed to do something with the injuries they had piling up.

It also shows how timing makes such a difference in the NHL trade market.
Jake Walman (2 x $3.4M) who out performed and outplayed Matta in their time in Detroit needed a 2nd round pick attached to him to move him in the offseason.
Olli Maatta (1 x $3.0M) who has been pretty poor in Detroit gets traded for a third.
