What year and AAV would you be okay signing Vats to an extension? Solid middle 6 player in my opinion. We need to finish at .500 or better to have a chance to extend Dumo, I believe he wants to be on the east coast according to what was released when we traded him.
For me its not so much about money... its about roster space.
Id feel more comfortable signing him if we could get rid of Strome.
3 year 15 mil is prob a pretty fair # and 1 i can get behind.
The issue for me is roster space... i think without signing any UFAs.... we have 3 spots open.... im hoping personally Leason is getting 1 of those, and id prob say Guacher is going to get a shot on the 4th line.... that does leave 1 spot for vatrano... but id also prefer to go after something a bit better up front (like a brady tkachuk if he became available), that being said if mctavish was the main piece then you comfortably sign vatrano).
Sennecke will prob fight for a spot, but i think he should be in the AHL next year.
