Prospect Ramblings: 2020 Draft Eligibles – Holloway, Quinn, Perfetti
Prospect Ramblings: Holloway, Quinn and Perfetti Shift Work For this Sunday’s Prospect Ramblings, I’ve decided to look at a couple of shifts for three draft-eligible prospects. I asked my followers for who [...]
Prospect Deep Dive: Jeremie Poirier
It’s going to be easy to get lost in the mix of defenseman drafted in the mid to late first round of the 2020 NHL Entry Draft. With upwards of eight blueliners potentially being [...]
August 31-in-31: Florida Panthers
Florida has done a great job of drafting and developing their players. The Panthers are a young team with a core of impressive youth the like of Alex Barkov, Jonathan Huberdeau, Nick Bjugstad, Vincent Trocheck, Aaron Ekblad, and Mike Matheson. The Pipeline isn’t depleted either as there are plenty of [...]
August 31-in-31: New York Islanders
The New York Islanders underwent some pretty heavy plastic surgery over the course of the offseason. They made three big swaps: Shipping inconsistent young forward Ryan Strome to Edmonton in exchange for offensive winger Jordan Eberle; donating a first and a second round pick to Vegas in exchange for them [...]
August 31 in 31: New Jersey Devils
The 2016-2017 season was one for the New Jersey Devils to forget. A lack of finishing left the Devils finishing last in the Eastern Conference, and fourth to last in the league. This lack of goal scoring was disappointing after making a big splash and acquiring sharp shooter Taylor [...]
August 31-in-31: Nashville Predators
After the Predators fell just a little bit short from winning the Stanley Cup, the front office quickly turned their attention towards shaping their roster for the upcoming season. When the Predators traded Colin Wilson to Colorado for a fourth-round draft pick, it seemed like there would be more playing [...]

Has Olli Maatta had the unluckiest year of any 20 year old prospect, ever? Mumps, tumor and shoulder surgery? Come on. Yes, that run of injuries can give you some pause in terms of value, but I think he is actually an excellent buy low right now. With nine points in 20 games this year, while seeing slightly fewer offensive zone starts and better competition and getting 16 even strength minutes and 1.5 PP minutes on a stacked team… Maatta was on pace for an excellent age-20 season.
He has played 97, 85, and 85 games respectively the last three seasons, so durability really isn’t as much of a concern as it seems. If you can snatch him from someone in contention, do it.
