Re: Time to bail on Vatanen?
Time to Bail? NO Time to readjust expectations...yes. He is getting his opportunity with the Devils and he is not disappointing and I think it's fair to say that no one saw this coming, but it has changed the story big time! He is not going to be a 60 pt D Man nor is he a multi cat monster. But, a 40 pt guy with 40 PIM, 100 Blocks and a 100 Hits and 130 SOG is not chopped liver. On a fantasy squad he is not your core but in most leagues he should have good value in the bottom half of your D roster. For those in CAP leagues however, the 5.4 Mil hit is rich and maybe that's a significant reason why many GM's soured on him fast and hard. However, it seems Sami is back in the game.
