According to multiple reports/sources, Thomas Vanek has rejected a substantial contract offer from the New York Islanders and the team is looking to trade him. It is believed that the offer is in the same range as his current seven-year, $50 million deal. The NHL will go into a roster freeze on Feb. 7 for the Olympic break and the trade deadline is set for Mar. 5. Vanek is reportedly leaning toward testing unrestricted free agency this summer, but he hasn't completely closed the door on the Islanders.
should the rangers keep an eye on this dude, i mean he is a proven goal scorer, and he does very well against us. but im not sure if he would be open to resigning after the year is up.
No. He's inconsistent and lazy. There is no reason to offer up another dumb, big contract to an UFA. That has never worked out for us. I think they can trade Callahan for a scoring forward prospect. I also stick by my belief that Duclair will make this team next season.
God no, they will not be signing another 7m per year player. Vanek will either get his 7m somewhere not in NY or take slightly less to go play in Minn. And yes, classic Islanders.
They can't sign Vanek to 7 mill a year contract. Didn't you guys hear that slot is reserved for cally
