FRANK VATRANO - Left Winger - 25 - $2.53MM Cap Hit - UFA in 2022-2023
LAST UPDATED 3/7/19
Vatrano, who famously had a goal-per-game stint in AHL Providence for the Bruins, has finally started to find his place in the NHL as a member of the Panthers. In his age-24 season, Vatrano has exploded for 20 goals playing on a line with Barkov. While other players have also had career years inflated by the incredible playmakers that they play with, Vatrano has always had the natural goal-scoring skill to make this breakout seem more sustainable. He's a pure sniper at heart, and with the above-average shot he possesses he also possesses below-average defensive play and playmaking skills. Going forward, if he can stick with Barkov, Vatrano could even end up a 30-goal scorer, but it remains to be seen how Vatrano will fare if he's asked to be more of a driver of the offense rather than the complementary player he is currently.
