Vanek is trash, I don't get the obsession with him.
What? Vanek is a top-30 LW in the league. Can also play some RW.

Problem with Vanek is that he's essentially a European Dany Heatley. Skating included. Can he score? Sure. But he offers zero outside of that. On a bad night for Tomas Vanek, a guy like J.T Brown is better and more useful and that's NOT a glowing endorsement.

I just don't see a fit for Vanek. Doesn't have the defensive game for a bottom 6 role, doesn't have the puck possession numbers for the Johnson line, and doesn't have the speed or board skills to help the Stamkos line. He'd be great on a team that needs help on the power play and who doesn't play a puck possession style game though, like the Rangers.
Vanek is redwing bound anyway there just waiting to sign the rfa's to see how much room they have left to pay vanek
He'd probably be a good fit there as well

So much for this rumor: Doan retires.
Reading is tough.....
So I have many people inside the Coyotes organization as well as people close to the Doan family. Sounds like Tampa is the team pushing hardest to get him, other than that, just mild offers/interest. Sounds like Doan is trying to decide if he should sign a deal with Tampa or retire. Just thought you guys would like to know

Can't blame him for retiring. He didn't want to have Cooper scratch him every third game, which is probably how Copper would have used him.

What..? Doan would've played on the first line.
I don't know about that. Cooper loves leadership.
My god is Cooper turning into the next Michel Therrien?
Well, playing Brenden Morrow over Jonathan Drouin in the playoffs surely was something.
And BJ Crombeen over Nikita Kucherov
Watching Crombeen be a punching bag every night was sad.
