Vanek just scored 55+ points, mostly on a dreadful team. He's had two "show me contracts" over the last summers after being bought out. Going to be turning 35, probably his last real chance to cash in on a "significant" NHL contract. I don't think he's signing for 2M.
And give him some credit, he outscored everyone not named Gaudreau or Monahan on this team last year (if only because Tkachuk got injured).
