Vanek is a good edition but he's gonna command a little more. Probably at least 1 more year and $1.5M more dollars.

Vanek is terrible. He'd be good to help the ducks PP and that's about it

He's not signed yet, so a nice 1 x 1.5-2M deal would be nice.

Vanek isn't good five on five...and do they really need another right handed winger?

I think you're unjustifiably being railed for this. That may be less than he could get elsewhere, but vanek on a 1 year deal for less than $2M seems like a low-risk opportunity to me. Best case scenario he jives well with Getz or our 3rd line. Worst case he isn't a good fit and we're only out 1.7M. Not to mention I'm sure he could be traded near the deadline anyways if we thought we'd be better without him.

Vanek is a good idea. A bit undervalued, but it allows you to take Rakell off the top line. Also, consider calling up Steel to center Rakell/Perry.
