flickyoursedin Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Well trading and signing Vanek in the summer is a heck of a lot better than re-signing him now! Would be the ideal scenario! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might have to go away for a few months on a playoff run but he'd still be 'here' 3/4 of the year. yeah right that provides no security i'm sure you aware of the indy mess hiring their "new coach" if it is not written and signed it is not worth much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, almost every FA traded at the deadline is a pure rental, so it might nor diminsh the value as much as we might think. vanek's value won't be that high any way.

Pretty sure this is just his agent keeping options open. Vanek's never been the most sentimental player. He'll go to whichever team offers him the most $$$ next season.

JeremyCuddles Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Trade Vanek for a similar package to what he got last year and re-sign him. Done and done. Not even sure who Hutton could fetch outta Boston. Since I don't know who they have other than those bums they went off the board for in the Boeser/Barzal draft.

Why would we not retain salary its only for the rest of the season. We have the room it expands the amount of teams that can pick him up at only 1 mil or 300k (ish) trade deadline cap space. It makes him even more valuable essentially your getting a 50 point guy for entry level money for the remainder of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it is a lot more likely that we would have to retain salary on another move for a player with a higher salary and we only have one contract left we can do it. If a team can’t affotd a pro-rated Vanek contract, they have bigger problems an we would be more likely not retaining salary but taking back dead salary back from them.

It’s not the best offer just one I think Benning could pursue if they know he wants to come back. Benning does like older prospects about to break out and he was a big part of drafting Khokhlachev.

stanleysteamersmyl Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Trade Vanek for a pick, resign him toa one year deal the same day the Canucks sign the kids to a one day contract. I think the kids will be more excited than Mr. Vanek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll go to whichever team offers him the most $$$ next season. #fakenews Actually he's the exact opposite of what you say. Vanek could have got a 7 years $50 million from NYI but wanted to go to MIN and left $30 million on the table when he signed $19.5 mill 3 years with the Wild. https://www.barstoolsports.com/dont-use/thomas-vanek-left-30-million-on-the-table-to-sign-with-minnesota/ Quote CBS – In a move that surprised absolutely no one in hockey, Thomas Vanek signed a three-year deal with the Minnesota Wild on Tuesday. The contract has a value of $19.5 million, or an annual average salary of $6.5 million for the Wild. That’s a bit of a hometown discount for Minnesota, where he played college hockey and met his wife, at least when talking about the term. Vanek was traded twice last season, first from Buffalo to the Islanders. The Isleswanted to keep him but Vanek rejected their reported seven-year deal for $50 million so the Islanders traded him to Montreal, where he finished out the season. In the end to sign with the Minnesota he had to take a lower term and a bit of a lower price as well. Wild GM Chuck Fletcher was open about not wanting to sign any long-term deals and keep the flexibility for the roster down the line. Everyone on the planet knew that Thomas Vanek wanted to go back home to Minnesota, so this move doesn’t surprise me. And the annual salary is $6.5 million vs what would have been $7.15 mil from the Islanders. But holy &^@#ing $&!# is it crazy to leave 30 million total on the table. Somehow its the smartest, dumbest, and most honorable free agent move all at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoneypuckOverlord Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 sounds like he enjoys the city. think about it he played for Buffalo then Detroit then Minnesota, doesn't get any crappier then that. get her done benning. But wait to see what Nash is going for though, seems like the price for him is sky high, but Vanek is out doing him from 0to 10 this year, we can something good in return for Vanek if garbage Nash can get a high price.

Tystick Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 I like Hutton but if he's not in our future plans we may as well cash in while we can. Hutton for some picks would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicklas Bo Hunter Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Last year he had better stats and only got a 3rd+ nothing prospect. We should expect the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
