We need a sniper if we trade him away

*cough* Lekkermaki *cough*

For Frank Vatrano at 50% retained, You're going to have to offer far better than that. Seeing that Detroit is heavily linked to him and doesn't need retaining.

This feels like a package that gets you a top 4 RHD. Another forward isn't a big need.

Klimovich is a bit of a sniper. His shot is his biggest strength but he is a big time project

Next year it is. Canucks won’t be able to keep all their FA’s. Get vatrano for under 2 million for 2 playoff runs would be massive

Basically I looked at the Blake Coleman trade to Tampa from a few years ago and added a bit for the retention

Sure but we'd be paying top dollar given Frank's big year. Worried about regression. At least that's my concern. This is a huge price. Arguably more than Lindholm which is crazy to me.

True. But at this point you have to put your best foot forward. Adding vatrano makes this team a cup favourite imo

lol there’s no way we buy Lek with a vet like Vatrano. But this value doesn’t cut it, I think we decline and just gladly take less for Vatrano next deadline. A deal would have to blow us away to make sense right now with the impact Vatrano has on our club (both on the ice and in the locker room).

Gonna need to send over Lekkermaki

I view vatrano as a stop gap for lekkerimakki.

Play vatrano for 2 playoff runs, then let him walk when is contract expires and ply lekky instead.

Trading lekkarrimaki to get vatrano defeats the whole purpose

If you say so. But moves like this is what defines playoff teams from all in teams. Regardless I think the Ducks decline the original offer considering there’s no blue chip coming back.
