Lol how much better do you think Vanek makes us? Bigger improvement than Buffalo adding Dahlin? Bigger improvement than AZ, Ottawa and Montreal adding top 5 picks?
Those were the only teams with worse records than us last year. All will add big name prospects that could step in and be major differencemakers next year.
I don't really want Vanek, but it really doesn't hurt us in any way to add that caliber of FA on a short-term deal. So we'll lose some games 5-4 instead of 5-1. It's still zero points. The team doesn't need to be an absolute embarrassment for 100% of 82 games in order to finish near or at the bottom.
probably
I feel like you're really overestimating how quickly anyone drafted this year will make a big impact(other than maybe Svechnikov)
Vanek is a 50-60 point player that if signed will probably compete for the team lead in points while he's here and your whole 0 point thing sounds cute but doesn't really have a lot of basis in reality for a team that actually lost quite a few close games last year(tied for second in the league with 13 Overtime/Shootout losses,lost 18 games in regulation by 1 goal counting 4 that were only 2 because of empty nets)
