Ville Leino's report card is reasonably humorous.

That road is going to be in the river in 10 years. Move to the escarpment.

maybe if the sabres could sign him to a 1 year deal for big money to reach the cap floor, then trade him for a 1st when he goes on a goal streak... maybe Garth Snow would trade for him again

All the bridges that were burned were with the old regime. That being said, I doubt Murray has any interest in signing him. That statement in Bleacher Report was founded on nothing but speculation of the fact that he's played here before.

They do like to bring back their own though.

sad thing is that even after the train wreck year Vanek has had, he is going to get another big contract from some team

True, but Murray has no loyalty to the area. It's for this very reason that I think walking out might be the best thing Pat LaFontaine ever did in his short tenure with the team.

Confidentiality agreements typically involve extremely sensitive information or supposed criminal actions. Just a thought.

A team signing Vanek knows they are getting a streaky player that on avg will give you 77gp 32g 33a for 65pts.


Some team will give him a 5yr 7+ mil per contract.

He's "dependable" to get those numbers, so the market is at least solid on that production, unlike many other players who will get paid once Free Agency opens up

For all the talent the 03 draft had, Out of that draft class Vanek is

2nd in goals behind Staal (by 12 goals. He had 11 goals as a rookie in 03/04)

6th in assists behind Getz, Staal, Bergeron, Perry, and Richards.

3rd in points behind Staal and Getz.
