The Anaheim Geese need to move Frank Vatrano’s contract … They talked to the Vancouver Canucks but it surely’s money-in, money-out for the Canucks
Taj: Rick Dhaliwal on the Oilers Now show on the Anaheim Geese seeking to move Frank Vatrano‘s contract: “Geese are going to need to add sweeteners to do away with players. Someone told me today Geese called Canucks to see in the event that they would take Vatrano off their hands…But again Vancouver is money in, money out. Budget is tight.”
Taj: Dhaliwal on the Canucks: “Money is tight immediately. They aren’t going to overspend…Anything in Vancouver is money out, money in. Owner goes right into a rebuild, so he’s saying money is tight.”
NHL Rumors: Columbus Blue Jackets – Marchenko, Fantilli, and Sillinger
Taj: Vatrano has deferred money and there isn’t a way Canucks ownership are going to need to pay it.
From PuckPedia: “3 million per yr is deferred salary to be paid out at 900K per yr for 10 years starting in 2035.”
Five potential destinations for Seattle Kraken’s Shane Wright
Mike Gould of Each day Faceoff: It’s been reported that the Seattle Kraken and Shane Wright‘s agent are on the lookout for a brand new home for the 22-year-old center. He went from 44 points two years ago to 27 last yr. The Kraken are on the lookout for fair market value for Wright. Five potential landing spots.
Calgary Flames – On the lookout for a middle that matches their trajectory. If the Kraken are on the lookout for NHL roster player in return, perhaps Connor Zary or Morgan Frost would make sense.
Chicago Blackhawks – They could not want to present up any significant assets, although they do have three 2027 first-round picks.
Recent Jersey Devils – They already tried to land a young center in Barrett Hayton (the Mammoth matched the offer sheet). Acquired future first-round picks within the Simon Nemec trade. Wright would add some nice depth.
Pittsburgh Penguins – GM Kyle Dubas is seeking to buy low on young, expert players. They could not have a roster player to supply up, but they do have seven second-round picks in the following three drafts.
NHL Rumors: Trevor Zegras, Jamie Drysdale, and Jason Robertson
Toronto Maple Leafs – They added a whole lot of depth in free agency, but don’t have many young centers within the organization. Only have the Colorado Avalanche’s 2027 first-round pick in the following two drafts.
