Ducks may look outside current roster for scoring help
Tampa Bay is seeking a right-shot defenseman. The presence of rising prospect Brandon Montour could make Sami Vatanen expendable, especially when left-shooting Shea Theodore has looked the part of an NHL regular while Cam Fowler recovers from a knee injury.
The Ducks want to re-sign Vatanen, their top offensive threat from the blue line. But a deal obviously hasn’t gotten done. Vatanen, 24, might reach 35-plus points for the second straight season and could at the very least triple the $1,275,000 he’s making this season.
A third-round pick in this year’s draft could also be put in play as the Ducks will have an extra one.
Ducks GM Bob Murray isn’t hiding the fact he’s seeking to inject some offense to a group that can’t finish with any consistency.
