Things just got real interesting for PP specialist, right-shot, and iffy 5-on-5 player Martin Frk, as the older, better version of him just agreed to come back to Detroit on the five-month tour plan:
The 34-year old former 5th overall draft pick (in 2003) Vanek spent last season in Vancouver before being traded to Columbus at the deadline for Jussi Jokinen (a throw-in) and Tyler Motte (a former fourth round pick). He disappointed for Columbus down the stretch and will be likely be looking to prove not only that he’s worth picking up, but that he’s worth committing to on a longer term.
