Vatrano has an elite release and just couldn't get ice time in Boston. Maybe with a bigger opportunity for TOI, he can find his game and become a 20+ goal scorer like many thought he would.
It's interesting that he lit up the AHL and had a great showing in the WC with 3G/5A in 10GP, but just could get it going at the NHL level
Wow was actually a rare moment when my assessment was right lol. Still like this deal for both teams as Boston was able to grab Lauko (one of my favorite prospects and a guy I think is underrated) and Frankie turned into the 20+ goal scorer we thought he could be.
