Meet the New Guy: Michael Latta, the center signing you didn’t expect

Related Topics: Michael Latta

Michael Latta isn’t exactly one of the names you’d expect to hear about in Free Agency. He’s not a top-line center, a remarkable winger, or an oft heard of veteran you add to make your top/middle six stronger.

He’s a 4th line grinder. He’s got #grit. He has heart.

Who is Michael Latta?

Latta is a 26-year-old, 6 foot, 210 lb forward that can play center or wing from Kitchener, Ontario. Drafted by the Nashville Predators in the third round of the 2009 NHL entry draft, Latta spent his junior career in the Ontario Hockey Leauge of the CHL, playing a season and a half with the Ottawa 67’s before being traded to the Guelph Storm where he played for two and a half more seasons.
