Frank Vatrano is on pace for 57 goals this year

[SeanMoneyHands]

If he scores 50 goals this year, he will be the biggest surprise 50 goal scorer of all time.

But why did the Bruins, Rangers and Panthers give up so easy on this guy? He looks like a legit elite sniper out there this year.

He actually looked really good in NY and in Florida.

All the top scorers in the league are guys the Rangers let go for nothing.

Vatrano
Bozo Miller
Phil DiGiuseppe
Kravtsov once the Nucks call him up will dominate the league.

Thanks Sather.

 

[DitchMarner]

Isn't he a streaky goal scorer?

Also, isn't he really only good at shooting and scoring goals in bunches? Or has he rounded out his game recently?

 

[AvatarAang]

Is he up for a new contract soon? Seems like the type of player Calgary would offer 10.5Mx7years

 

[Empoleon8771]

He’s shooting 21.1%, which will
Inevitably fall back closer to his career normal.

 

[Gurglesons]

I say he does it.

 

[PatLaFontaineASMR]

Zegras is also on pace for 12 points

 

[ESH]

He’s obviously not going to score 50 goals

 

[DingDongCharlie]

On pace for 57, likely to end up with half that.

 

[Prairie Habs]

WTF, I assumed this was an exaggeration, but he's actually sitting on 2 points in 12 games. What's happening over there?

 

[BallardEra]

OP should change thread title to 55 goals.

 

[vpasla1]

First 8 Games - 2 Hat-tricks (Total 8 Goals)
Next 10 Games - 0 Hat-tricks (Total 4 Goals)

He's obviously on a downward trend lol.

Are you expecting him to keep getting a 2-3 goals game every 4-5 games?

66% of his goals come from 17% of his games.

3 games 8 goals, 9 points
15 games 3 goals, 7 points

shooting at like 3% or something crazy low, but focusing more on the defensive side of his game. but now also injured with some mystery injury that has no time table to return.

awful puck luck mostly. plus he's been injured and missed the last few weeks

Kakko for Zegras . Bring the boy home

There's a bias against snipers in NHL. All players are supposed to be hard-working grinders. He also is pretty short.

 

[Oddbob]

Always been a guy that scores a bunch quick and then nothing for awhile and this year he is double his normal shooting percentage.

How is he a top scorer with his 8 pts?

Zegras seems too concerned with Michigan type plays then actually being a really good player.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Just a hunch, but don’t think he’s gonna make it.

 

[forever1922]

Zegras has focused on his 2-way play and no one is really worried about his offense. Look up his advanced stats to see if he has been effective.

Vatrano and Strome both have been arguably the Ducks 2 most important forwards when it comes to generating offense. Very much improved under Cronin.

Speaking for the Rangers, they had no cap room or space for him, unfortunately.

 

[BruinsFan37]

From what I remember he was hurt the year before and the year the Bruins traded him he had trouble staying in the line up. Not everyone in Boston was happy to see him go, but there wasn't really a spot for him and at the time it was considered a win-win-win trade. Boston got value for an underutilized player, Florida got much needed winger depth, and Frankie got playing time, which he wasn't getting in Boston.

Same reason the Panthers dumped Huberdeau. Wasn't really a good fit for the direction the club was headed and salary cap forced some tough decisions.

Good goal scorer, but very streaky. And when he's in an ice cold slump, you might as well have a traffic cone on the ice.

Take the under, WAY under
