Vanek has some appeal, but not sure where he could slot
Nyquist - Dubois - Anderson
Foligno/Texier - Bjorkstrand
Nash - Jenner - Atkinson
Vanek - Wennberg - Bemstrom
If he can fit, I think it would have to be on a super sheltered line like this, plus a bit of powerplay time. I remember hearing that Detroit went out of their way to protect him and he still ended up a -12.
He wasn't on my PTO list because of that but now that I think of it Detroit isn't good enough to shelter anyone. And Vanek-Wennberg-Jenner was dynamite for us and that was barely a year ago. I could see Torts saying no to bringing Vanek to camp - he's a bit of a lazy veteran, maybe not the type Torts wants around. But I'm not opposed to it.
