Vanek was bloody terrible these playoffs surely he won't get whats been rumoured ?
Wild GM Chuck Fletcher has said the Wild will not offer Vanek a long-term contract. While they have a ton of cap space to play with (17 players under contract for next year at 49m, leaving just under 20m to spend) there are a ton of RFA's to sign over the next two years (Kuemper, Brodin, Scandella, Coyle, Granlund, Haula, Neiderreiter for a few) so Fletcher isn't gonna want to sign another long term deal that'll hinder them from signing those guys, many of whom have developed entirely in the Wild org.
If Vanek wants to take a contract that's shorter in term but with more AAV, I can see him accepting something from the Wild in the range of 4/30m. If he wants longer term, he'll have to go elsewhere, and there might be some teams who'd offer it to him, although I don't know if they'd be contending teams like the Wild are.
Me, I think he ends up with Minnesota on a smiliar contract. I also think they'll sign a defenseman, and if they don't sign Vanek, it'll be Niskanen. If Vanek does get a contract, I doubt they sign another big contract, but could see a guy like Dan Boyle end up there on a 1-2 year deal to help bridge the gap to 2-3 solid young defensemen working their way up in the Wild system.
