If he keeps playing like he's been doing for us lately, he's staying here. 
Toronto could be possible. He could replace jvr and give us 20/20 while being much cheaper.

Wennberg and Jenner hopes so. Also he's been helping with leadership as well.If he keeps playing like he's been doing for us lately, he's staying here.
I wonder if he's willing to take another 1 year deal.

Flip a coin!
He’s traded every TDL and is usually the last trade of the TDL before the deadline time.
I’m gonna say, and this is just a guess, Boston!

...no, but our management has basically said as much. Brian Burke hates Vanek and the Flames in general don't like pure offensive guys, it seems -- although they could sure use some!
He's looked better in Columbus than I expected. Rough start, but after those first few games he's contributed and shown effort out there. Seems like a good fit in Columbus and I bet he stays.

I mean... Mike Smith is playing injured right now and has been just fantastic pretty much all season.
The Flames' focus this summer needs to be scoring first, scoring second, and scoring third.
Wouldn't be shocked if he signs a 1-year deal with Columbus. He's really gelling well with the team.

I'm going to guess either he resigns with Columbus or he goes back to Vancouver.

I selfishly wanted him back in Detroit this year. I think he ought to go to a contender to save him from his annual March trade. He's past his prime of course, but many underestimate him. He's still a serviceable player. Worst case scenario, he's a second unit PP guy and money in the shootout.

He's fantastic, but old. Maybe, getting someone like Grubauer or Raanta in the offseason might help.
That's not what this thread is about.
But I'll bite -- David Rittich and Jon Gillies already exist, as does Tyler Parsons. We'll wait on them first.

Seems like he would like a no-trade in his next contract even on a short term deal. Gotta feel for the guy, veteran player with a family, he's still producing well yet traded every season.
He was great on the Canucks and seems to be continuing his solid season with the jackets, I would definitely be fine with having him back next season on another short deal even with a NTC if need be.
I wonder what kind of interest he will attract in the offseason.
