Olli Maatta all the way. He's a beauty. Kudos for recognizing his talents before this season.
It's one thing to be biased when your team doesn't have much to offer in the way of fantasy points, but it's another thing when that team is the Penguins.
What do you think about the next couple years? Pool has points, hits, blocked shots, but mainly interested in points. I'm leaning towards Maatta but I'm a Penguins fan so I'm worried I'm being biased :P

Maatta has the higher offensive upside and also has Crosby, Neal and Malkin scoring huge points in front of him. He's the better fantasy defenseman and has the better cast around him.
I would definitely go with Maatta as well. I think he just has much better updside.

Maatta without a doubt...REP for being a Pens fan
Another vote for Maatta. In this organisation and with Niskanen probably given a huge salary rise on the open market, Maatta should get a huge boost in production starting next year.
Maatta more playing time, more opportunity and fantastic scoring potential.
I agree with the rest, Maata is probably your best bet.
He's got the better supporting cast, and he's shown more offensive potential IMO too. Plus he adds hits while Brodin won't really.
Brodin is a beauty but I think he's destined to be a guy that just doesn't really help fantasy teams much.
