Player Discussion Frank Vatrano

  • Xenforo Cloud is doing server maintenance Thurdsay 13th at 9 AM GMT. Downtime is to be expected during the process. Server changes were implemented recently to cope with the traffic surge last week. This seems to be affecting the user login, so please anyone experiencing this, log out and clear the browser cache. We expect to have this issue solved once the maintenance is complete.
  • We are currently aware of "log in/security error" issues that are affecting some users. We apologize and ask for your patience as we try to get these issues fixed.

I think this picture should be shared in the GDT whenever Frank scores a goal this year.

2 assists tonight…..is this him breaking out into a Marchessault? Smaller guy, good wheels, good shot…if he can find some consistency in his game we may have a gem here

It'll be absolutely nice if the Ducks have pulled a Vegas and found a underused guy who breaks out with a bigger role given to him. Both have guys have played for the Panthers too.

Fantasy question: Why isn't Vatrano 1st line, 1st PP? I have him on my fantasy team and the stats would indicate he is doing pretty damn good.

EDIT: I get that he has worked out pretty well on that 2nd line, but with his stats he would be 1st PP by any logic.

Because we have better wingers, ostensibly. There's not much evidence that there's even more offense inside of Frank somewhere that can be unlocked with more ice time, he's a volume shooter who's converting a quarter of his chances right now. Another minute or so of ice time isn't going to change much and he's already well north of his previous career high ice time. And he's got great chemistry with McTavish, who is arguably the 1C anyway. Our other centers are Carlsson who isn't guaranteed to play every night and Zegras who isn't allowed to play center for some dumb reason.

Long story short, Frank's in about as good a position as he can possibly be on this team.

And now that I take a closer look, the only forward (besides Carlsson, who has 1 second more) with more ice time than Frank is Terry. So I mean, what more do you want, really.
 
Drafted or not, he made an impact at the ASG. Led his team in goals and tied in points. If they had won the SO, he may have shown even more.

Love a guy who is not a prima donna and carries his lunch pail to work every day; and puts up points. Ducks need to keep him.
