Even if you think Vatrano will fall off, why would ANA accept this return when his value is as high as it’s ever been? Especially considering that they publicly stated that they’re looking to add a solid player to their forward group, not subtract.
I don’t necessarily think the return is even bad, but there is just no reason for ANA to move Vatrano for anything other than an overpay, which would include a 1st. A top contender would pay that for his production at his cap hit.
