Drury Finally Makes a Frank Statement
It hasn’t been a fast moving trade deadline by any stretch, but a move by Colorado to acquire defenseman Josh Manson from the Anaheim Ducks on Monday, appears to have opened the spigot a fraction. A second move yesterday between the Avs and Wild preceded today’s first move by the Rangers, as they acquire forward Frank Vatrano from the Florida Panthers, in exchange for a 4th round pick in this year’s NHL Entry Draft.
While Vatrano doesn’t check all the boxes, he does provide a little bit of scoring depth to a team that is almost wholly reliant on four players to put the puck in the net. The 28 year olf native of Massachusetts, has had a little bit of a down year, on a high powered Panthers offesnse, that was up against the Cap.
