Thomas Vanek, our 234th ranked left wing, is best suited to be a depth backup. We project he will end up with the Calgary Flames because they could use a player of this quality to play left wing. The Flames currently have only 0 healthy left wings, and none are rated better than Vanek.
The Flames currently have no left wings under contract beyond the 2027 season, so Vanek could see a potential long term contract with the team.
