Vanek to Detroit

[PromoTheRobot]

What if you could get him for 1-year/$2MM? Is there a role for the prodigal son to play on this team?

NO! </thread>

At that rate, it's a no-brainer.

You realize that's less than what they just offered Marcus Foligno, right?

[darksabre]

I don't want to talk about it.

Okposo, Reinhart, Kane, Deslaurier, Moulson, Ennis, Zemgus, Foligno, Gionta, and potentially Vesey all play wing... where the ###### would he play? Rochester?

With Gionta and Larsson.

I mean, for free? I guess. I don't think a signing at a reasonable market value makes sense for Buffalo though, no.

I wouldn't do that to Larsson

[Iron Crotch]

We don't need drifters who show no interest in defensive zone coverage. No thanks.

He's off to Detroit

Detroit signs Tomas Vanek to a 1 year deal for $2.6m

I can honestly say we have no need.

 

As a top six, he's worse than Eichel, Reinhart, ROR, Ennis, Kane and Okposo.

As a checking line guy he's worse than, well anybody.

As offensive depth I'd rather give Fasching, Vesey or Bailey a shot.

He doesn't bring leadership and Moulson has dibs on the over-the-hill veteran role.

 

Where are you going to put him?

You are so quick w/ the updates. Just once. Just once I'd like to beat you to it.

 

Keep up the good work.

NO!

[Doohicksie]

This must mean the Wings are getting ready to trade Tatar.  I wonder what the Sabres are giving up for him?

[North Buffalo]

Otter too

[Rasmus_]

Who cares? Vanek is a fringe 20 goal scorer at this point and he doesn't offer much else.  He's not going to light the world on fire.  He's an "okay" gamble on a one year deal for Detroit.  But, shrugs, he's not an answer for Buffalo.

[papazoid]

he's the kind of player who gets you beat.

 

good riddance.

[North Buffalo]

I heard Steve got signed by the wings can anyone confirm? Never mind Detroit Free Press Confirms

I can get with this.  And I could get with this if he signed here.
