Vatrano has to be as good as gone then
Mamin isn't guaranteed to score 20 goals with 3rd line minutes and neither is Duclair if Reinhart goes to the 1st line. imo Mamin should be considered as a 4th line player.
We need to clear cap room and roster room. Vatrano is probably not in the long term plans, and has a little bit of value, thus he's the one on his way out.
There's no valid reason to move him after the Stralman trade. The Cats have $10mil of cap space remaining. Re-signing Reinhart, Mamin and Lamm takes up ~$8.5mil. Vatrano is a rental at this stage.
Deep forward group now. Mamin was good last 2 years in the KHL it seems. Matured and more experience now, maybe can give us some depth up front. Need guys like him, Marchment, Lomberg in the playoffs as we know. Low risk deal.
I'd like to keep cap room for the deadline at the very least, as more top 4 D will be available then.
If e.g. Gildon or Ludvig can play bottom pairing minutes then that means Nutivaara could be traded. I think that the plan is (still) to give Q plenty of different options to try and postpone committing to a particular lineup further into the future.
I would be trading him for defenseman. This team is stacked up front and thin as f*** on the blue line.There's no valid reason to move him after the Stralman trade. The Cats have $10mil of cap space remaining. Re-signing Reinhart, Mamin and Lamm takes up ~$8.5mil. Vatrano is a rental at this stage.

We're a Weegar injury away from having a rookie bottom pairing.
Bobby B was not a good coach.Loved Mamin when he was here. Not sure why we didn’t see more of him.
Gotta think at least one of our forwards are gone.
