Ducks Rumors: Top Landing Spots Named for Frank Vatrano

Anaheim Ducks forward Frank Vatrano is one of the top trade candidates heading into the 2024 NHL Trade Deadline. It is understandable, as the Ducks are rebuilding, and Vatrano is having the best season of his career, as evidenced by his All-Star Game selection. As a result, the Ducks are in a prime position to take advantage of his heightened trade value. 

Due to this, The Bleacher Report's Adam Gretz listed the New York Rangers, Los Angeles Kings, Colorado Avalanche, and New York Islanders as the top four landing spots for Vatrano.

The Rangers have expressed interest in Vatrano during this season. It makes sense, as they could use a top-six winger, and he was a great fit there as a rental in the past. 

The Kings have been struggling, and it may be time for them to make some changes to their group because of it. Their offense has not been particularly impressive, and adding a scoring winger like Vatrano could give them the boost that they need.

The Avalanche have been on the hunt for an impactful winger and have been connected to Vatrano at points this season because of it. He would be a great fit on their second line and would be a big addition to their power play. 

As for the Islanders, they have been in need of more scoring for quite some time. Vatrano would give them that, and he would be a great addition to their top six because of it.
