Ya I imagine we add a 2nd via Vatrano or fowler move.

Think we should extend dumo
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.

Vatrano has turned up the physicality. Even even he's not scoring, he's making an impact. And he seems to be a streaky scorer... he started cold but maybe he's heating up now.

Ya i dont mind keeping vatrano as a bottom 6 that can fill in up top the line up....

The issue is roster spots.... and i think id still want to go after a bigger name than vatrano.... not opposed to keeping vatrano and getting a bigger name.... but wed need to rid ourselves of killorn or strome(which id imagine strome is the more doable option)

What’s up with vatrano he used to be super pesty past couple years now it feels like he’s just going with the motion

IMO, I think last season was his peak and it probably added stress to repeat his success. From all accounts, he seems motivated and works hard. He's always been hot and cold. I think he's just fighting it like a lot of players.

Personally, I'm okay with trading him or re-signing to a short term, reasonable contract. There's value both ways depending on other moves.
