Anaheim hasn't resigned Vatanen after last season. Vatanen had 900 000USD caphit last year. Hes contract ended this summer and he is a RFA. Do you think that Detroit should go after him?
Vatanen's play has shown to be quite solid in the NHL level and he is noticed as offensive defender. I know he lack's a bit in size but he has been quite solid in own end finishing at +9 and made almost 0,5 points per game he was in NHL last year. He was outstanding in Olympics playing in the first pair of Finland's defence.

As Detroit seems to be needing more ready nhl level defenders than it's draftpicks. i suppose this could be a steal for Detroit. I suppose he could be willing to change jersey because anaheim has been making even more contracts to the D area and it makes it totally unsure situation about play time he could't get in Anaheim. I suppose the price would be around 2nd round pick or 1st round pick.
Already proven NHL-level defender for draft pick and would bring detroit a lot of offensive skill, PP skill, accurate shot (not like a muffin) and seems to be ok in own end.
What do you think?
