🚨There is a trade rumor circulating on twitter from a few sources that the Anaheim Ducks and our Lightning are discussing a swap of Frank Vatrano for Nick Perbix and draft picks🚨
I’ve seen this from a few sources on twitter, nothing official of course. Article also mentions 25 percent salary retained on his contract which is already team friendly.
Then we will need two D plus Moser signed sealed and delivered

Looking at some of the articles, this source seems questionable at best. This would be a fleecing so no complaints if it is legit

10% chance this is real, but I 100% hope.

I have an old friend I played with who knows Vatrano pretty well (I think he played against some members of his family in major junior who were older). He described him in glowing terms as a person..

Would love this pickup. Vatrano, coupled with a Sheary bounce back would give us three solid offensive lines. I’d burn any picks but the 2026 1st tbh

Maaan… I was hoping we’d fire Blashill and hire a proper coach that could in-ruin Perbix. First year Perbix was good, I’d like to see him back.

I don’t understand this trade from Anaheim’s perspective, but they’re about as poorly ran as the other team in that city.

Sorry to be the buzzkill, but this is just clickbait. Doesn’t cite any sources yet speaks about fan and insiders reactions. This is made up, look at the other tweets from the account. It’s fake news.

Remember, if we want one of the Ducks veterans, its Vatrano not Strome.

This trade would make zero sense for the Ducks, I know they have defense issues but this won’t help.

This makes me so excited! Pls JBB

Would be nice but with Verbeek and JBB having both worked under Stevie Y, I have might doubts about this being true knowing how tight lipped all of them are about these types of things being leaked

I… I like Perbix though? He’s still young and has good play for his experience.
Even if you think he could be better / we could have someone better, think about how often he’s chided in this sub. It’s not all the time like Sustr or Sheary or deHaan. Perbix is inconsistent perhaps depending on the situation, but he’s not a terrible player we desperately need to discard.
I dunno I think Perbix should stick around.

Y’all trying to make me wet or what??

Vatrano’s right-handed isn’t he? He could potentially be Stammer’s power play replacement. Kuch, Point, Heddy, Guentzel and Vatrano could be pretty good!
Edit: nevermind, he’s a lefty

Uh what? Ducks fan here. This would go totally against Verbeeks plan to make the Ducks competitive this year. Vatranos offense would be sorely missed and I’m not sure how much Perbix would help our blue line. Also we just resigned Vaaks and picked up Dumoulin.

I don’t know why the Ducks would do this unless they think they could use the picks they get in the trade to go get another defender.
The only mention of it on Twitter is referencing this article, I doubt it has legs yet.
