Maatta is sure being passed around lately. He has never really impressed me when I've watched him.

Could mean LA is also moving on from Ben Hutton.
$750K retained by CHI.

Maatta is a perfect example of how a young defenseman, given sheltered minutes, can look great in those sheltered situations.
But learning how to play in the top 4 (i.e. not sheltered minutes) is an acquired skill that takes time.

The #blackhawks retain $750,108 of Olli Maatta's $4,083,333 salary/cap hit.

Kings will probably have him play over his head in their top 4 for 1.5 seasons, then retain half of the remaining salary and trade him at the deadline for a third
Makes sense for their position. Opens the door for Gustaffson back to Chicago as rumored

That is a bizarre amount, I was going to complain they should at least state the percentage as well because with weird dollar figures it can make more sense. But, in this case 18.37% does not make any sense either.

Maybe Chicago needs the room for the Matt Murray trade they have cued up? Seen a rumor they were in on him as well.

I did the math as well, and I was like 18.37%... what?

I think Chicago is going for Murray with this cap dump.

Bill Wirtz would have made damn sure LA was on the hook for that extra $108.

No, trade Jankowski for him, then the circle will be complete

I mean injuries probably have more to do with it than anything. Maatta has missed a lot of time, especially in the first four years of his career.
