Cool, I think Vatrano will be a good middle 6 guy, and great bottom 6 guy.
Plays with a lot of energy, can score goals and is a bit fiesty

Honestly that AAV is totally fine, what an interesting way to structure the contract.

“Frank is an important member of our team and is committed to the organization moving forward,” said Ducks General Manager Pat Verbeek. “He is a hard-nosed, competitive player with a gift for scoring goals. We couldn’t be happier for Frank to sign for three more years.”

“I see how bright our future is and we are making turns in the right direction to ultimately bring a Stanley Cup to Anaheim,” said Vatrano. “I couldn’t be happier to sign a three-year extension, and I am excited to help this team grow and be a big part of our future.”

He has to be open to it, since $9 million 10 years from now is worth less than $9 million now (which is accounted for in the cap hit, which reflects the contract’s present day value). But that shows he wants to be here.

I was glad when Frank was brought in, I am glad now that he's extended and will be here for longer. This is nice.
It doesnt, since frank will be retired.
I thought he'd be gone by the deadline. Great extension!

Yep I’m expecting a move for top 6 help at some point now.
Bringing Vatrano back to me means PV thinks team is on right track
Good contract honestly. Clever to use contract negotiations that have happened in MLB to circumvent issues, ends up being good for both the team and player. Vatrano plays a very flexible style of hockey, and should continue to be a positive presence!

Love this honestly. I was concerned about giving him a big long term deal but also didn't want to trade him for next to nothing as a rental. 3 years at that cap hit is basically a no brainer. The deffered money is an interesting twist but kept the term and cap hit where we needed them - so I'm in favor.
Overall I'm quite happy for Frank, and with how this situation was resolved.

Crazy to think he’s going to be receiving less cash over the 3 years of this extension than his first 3 year deal here
God I hope they do away with deferred money, or at least make it not change the cap hit.
This is going to get crazy.

I don’t like the idea of deferred money to circumvent the cap, but since it’s allowed, I’m glad the Ducks are taking advantage of it.
Frank the Tank!
Feels good starting to re-sign pending UFA’s and not selling everyone off.
Time to turn this ship. Tired of lottery crap.

Hmmmm... Players pay taxes where they play, which kinda means the payment form is through the NHL? And is that how Vatrano can avoid CA's high taxes? What a great selling point for the Ducks' CPA!

I know they’re worth gazillions so the money is pocket change to them, but I still give credit to the Samuelis for greenlighting the deferred salary, especially since a certain other owner in this city who’s not exactly crying poor would never do something like it
