I would imagine about 1/3 of my posts have had the word Vanek in it. When you are picked that high and have points of your game that are not above average it can get blown up under a microscope. Yes his defensive game is not great. IMHO he is not a liabitly either. But at 6 in a deep year you want a guy that is well rounded. Staal is a perfect prospect. He scores and was like a +30 or something. So you can look at one of two ways. He can score we knew that and it is happening. Not a bust there. Cannot argue with 40 goals. He will continue to learn to play D and will be avg to slightly better at best but we need a guy to put the puck in the net. Or you can see. Well, yes he can score but he is not good in his own end and seems to look to score too much. He cannot continue to only score goals. He has to play better D. Otherwise he will not be on the ice enough to put up big numbers in the NHL. I always believe u can teach D, u cannot teach a scorers touch.
