I don't disagree. Is he enough though to satisfy the throngs of the MUST HAVE TOP LINE HELP people? Can he be that guy? I haven't watched him enough to know.

40-ish goal scorer in 4 of the last 6 years......25 and 28 goals in the other two.
Should be good for 35+ and 60-70 points.....potential for 40-50 and 80pts though.
and he's still only 26 years old.

Is he a passer or a shooter? Will he work well with Kessel is what I'm getting at?

Hmmm. Very interesting, but are Kadri and Bozak capable of centering those two players at this time? Or do we need SweetCheeks Savard?

Vanek's an interesting one. Looking at his stats, since his breakthrough 84 point season here's what he's done:
.......... GP G A PTS
07-08 82 36 28 64
08-09 73 40 24 64
09-10 71 28 25 53
Last year is kind of worrisome. 28 goals and 53 points. For comparison, Lee Stempniak had 28 goals and 48 points last season. In a few less games, but still. Not sure I want to have a guy putting up these numbers at a $7.142 cap hit for the next 4 years. On the other hand, he's still only 26.

I don't think we would.
Kulemin - Bozak - Kessel
Vanek - Kadri - Versteeg
would be two pretty damn solid scoring lines.

^ that I like. But I've wanted to see Savard in Blue and White for a number of years now.
This thread is just getting everyone's hopes up.
For one, we aren't getting Vanek, if he went on the market. Division rivals don't trade superstars between each other often, and when they do, the team getting the superstar is typically having to overpay for it.
Ditto for Savard.
There are enough teams out there with cap space, and better things to offer, to make this happen, with regards to Vanek.
I doubt Boston just will hand us Savard for scrubs, like people have hoped in this thread.
