Value of: Frank Vatrano at the deadline.

Verbeek is a horrible GM, he really didn't trade this dude who was having a career year last year on a great contract with a year remaining. He could have gotten so much, this year he will get a mid round pick and a C prospect

In what world would he fetch that? Look at every deadline and middle 6 wingers with goal scoring upside are something every team wants.

If they can get him for that then I will totally be happy with it.

But lets be honest, someone is going to offer him 5 mil in UFA, especially if he gets 30 goals again.

I’d gladly give him 5 even 6. Goals don’t grow on trees and he contributes in a lot of other ways. The term though is somewhere we need to be firm though.

He was 21st in goals last year. Everyone in the top 40 made 6m or more last year or just signed a new deal for 6+ except 2 players (Johnston and Sharangovich).

He is scoring less this year because of a terribly unlucky start and is now back to scoring more. He’s a legit 30 goal scorer.

I’d trade him at the deadline and then look to move up in the draft like we did last year and then use those funds to try to get the best winger in Free Agency.

If the young guys continue to slowly improve and we can get a 1st or 2nd line winger in FA + add Colangelo and Sennecke, the roster is starting to really come around. The young defensive players also continue to improve.
