seems like you guys are crowded on that left side. is vaak gonna be moved? nice to see him pan out, always
seemed like a good kid.
Vaak was finally healthy for a full season since being traded and looked very good defensively when paired with another shutdown guy like Gudas. Also, he can play on the PK. Vaak needs to keep seasoning as a 3rd pairing in hopes he can improve to carry his pair mate. Vaak cannot play the right side.
As for the crowding of the left side, if GM Verbeek is insistent on keeping defensemen on their shooting side, then yes, the left side is crowded with Vaak probably the 5th LD on the totem pole.
I don't know if Vaak will be moved for or just become a UFA. Since GM Verbeek traded for Vaak, there's a chance he might be kept.
