Just ahead of the 2020 NHL Draft, the LA Kings may have found their desired left-handed defenseman in Olli Maatta.
The LA Kings made a roster upgrade on Sunday, finding their desired left-handed defenseman. The organization traded forward Brad Morrison exchange for the services of now-former Chicago Blackhawks blueliner Olli Maatta.
Maatta was one of the first guys I pegged as a good choice for the Kings’ left-shot defenseman. The 26-year-old was traded from the Penguins to the Blackhawks the last offseason to shore up Chicago’s defensive end.
