In a familiar trend, the Anaheim Ducks often wait until their pending UFAs reach the final year of their contracts before considering trades. Last season, Adam Henrique was a prime example, and it seems Frank Vatrano may follow suit.
During an interview on the Spittin' Chiclets Podcast, Vatrano expressed his affection for Anaheim but hinted at a desire to play in Boston later in his career, suggesting potential free agency interest.
More likely, however, is Boston acquiring Vatrano at the trade deadline next season, perhaps signing him before he becomes a free agent.
