Interested to see the price. I was wondering if we'd be interested in him if we didn't get Hudler.

Is Craig Morgan legit?

 

[Mr Positive]

Not a fan of Vrbata, but on a good contract he could bring some scoring and veteran leadership.

The deal they really need now is for Reider.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

I'm honestly not surprised at all. I had him pegged going to Arizona if Bergevin didn't end up going bargain hunting (although that was likely out the window after Radulov).

That's kinda weird that Arizona is interested in bringing Radim Vrbata back to Arizona.

I'd have to imagine it's a 1 year deal at or below 1mil.

 

[Finnish your Czech]

Forgot that he was still available.

 

[Vitto79]

Vrbata did well there . Don't get why they dumped Vermette though cause Vermette can play wing too

 

[JuniorNelson]

I think this is a good signing. Vrbata was fine in his first season with Vancouver, playing with the Sedins.

Hanzal has his linemate back.

If your looking for info from the Coyotes front office, he's your guy.

Kinda like a Glendale version of John Shannon.

 

[M2Beezy]

What a loser he was for us dont wish him much luck but dont wanna be that negy guy but cmon

That's what I was wondering as well.

1 year 2 million?

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

I don't hate this for Arizona, but why get rid of Vermette then?

Vrbata is a better scorer?

John Shannon is a joke

 

[RandallRitchey]

Vrbata will likely be cheap, guessing 1.65ish. Though, would you rather have him surrounding the youth in Arizona over Vermette?

 

[Maurice of Orange]

Vrbata spent six seasons in Phoenix before signing with Vancouver prior to the 2014-15 season.

Did he take your girlfriend from you?

Vermette had 93 PIM last season vs Vrbata's 12, the management is attempting to mend the 28th overall PK.

He wasn't good last year but the guy did score 31 goals in his first year with the nucks so it's not all bad. Not sure why you'd harbour negativity for him.

 

[EP to Kuzmenko]

He packed it in early in the season and then hindered the Nucks from trading him to a contender for picks/prospects.

We are discussing a multi year veteran who is suppose to be a good compliment to a team needing scoring. He whined about playing next to 20 year old Bo Horvat, who literally carried Vrbata from basically the moment Vrbata was placed on that line. Those 12pims are a testament to that, never engaged, low compete level and just a general liability all over the ice. He was godawful last season and that's even being a bit generous.
He didn't even generate interest at the deadline as a rental when the Canucks were a good 20 points out of the playoffs

Yeah. Guy wasn't performing with the Sedins and then pouted all season when he was taken off their line. Bad influence on young players and VERY glad he's gone.
