Thomas Vanek (DET):

I feel like Vanek is someone who’s been linked to the Anaheim Ducks in trade talks for quite a while now.

And I would like to think Bob Murray is negotiating with Ken Holland to land him.

With the current goal scoring struggles, Vanek is exactly what the Anaheim Ducks need.

He packs a punch with his natural goal scoring instincts and good size. He’s not a selfish player either so there shouldn’t be chemistry issues.

With Kesler and Getzlaf demanding the attention of defenders, they would be able to provide the space needed for Vanek to generate scoring chances.

Although he wasn’t the same player he was in Buffalo where 36.8% of his points came on the power play, he has ten points on the man advantage this season for Detroit.
