Frank Vatrano is a pure, unadulterated sniper who, despite a modest career assist total, lives and breathes the puck's journey into the back of the net. At 32, his continued presence and ice time suggest he's still a dangerous offensive threat, a player whose value is etched in the goal light's flash rather than subtle playmaking. He's the guy you watch when you want to see a shot that can beat a goalie clean, the embodiment of a relentless, albeit sometimes one-dimensional, offensive driver.
