Bump 20 Report post Posted March 1, 2017 (edited) There's negligence and there's reckless disregard. Playing Vanek is the latter. Why take the needless risk? Edited March 1, 2017 by Bump 2 krsmith17 and greenrebellion reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

frankgrimes 1,836 Report post Posted March 1, 2017 Well guys there is still some time left. The asking price of first round pick us and was unrealistic. Last time Vanek brought a second and a prospect back.. so the wings better come down with their asking price if they want to get at least something for him. Want a first? Sell Green! Smith, Vanek should return 2 second round picks, Green a first and then one of Tatar/Goose another first rounder... Ask Nielsen about a trade in the summer but good luck with that. TLDR; to early for panic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

joesuffP 1,746 Report post Posted March 1, 2017 (edited) I bet nobody has been calling for Vanek like Dreger tweeted, that's why he's playing. If he had multiple teams offering picks he'd be sitting. Either the price needs to come down or teams will get desperate tomorrow. The rumours have not been positive for a big return for Vanek thus far Edited March 1, 2017 by joesuffP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Datsyukian-Deke 722 Report post Posted March 1, 2017 Well whether we like it or not, Vanek is playing and looking at his ice time so far he hasn't been playing "sparingly" like they said. So here's to hoping he scores a goal to give those teams interested something to really look at. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tonight everyones all angry that Vanek is playing. I see a pattern developing. Anyone wanna bet against Vanek moving tomorrow? Cause ill take that bet.

ChristopherReevesLegs 7,022 Report post Posted March 1, 2017 Smith being offered a contract (then traded) and Vanek playing (then being traded) IMO is not Holland being dumb. Its Holland trying to maintain the idea and culture of winning in hockey town while still selling. Hes not trying to completely demoralize this team. 1 scotzman reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The rumours have not been positive for a big return for Vanek thus farThat's why I've said some people need to temper their expectations and be happy to get a solid return for a guy who would be gone in the off season, anyways. I think it's much more concerning to hear nothing about a potential Green trade maybe his cap hit is too high for most teams and they'll look at it in the off season.

Not betting Vanek won't be traded, just that Kenny is tempting fate. Why take the risk? To me it just shows how truly incompetent Kenny can be. 1 krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChristopherReevesLegs 7,022 Report post Posted March 1, 2017 Otter was cool. 6th round picks are cool too though. Next up we will hear about how Kenny wont trade Vanek from the same people who said he wouldnt trade anyone after Jurco! 3 PavelValerievichDatsyuk, kliq and krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
