Confirmed with Link: Jakub Vrana in Player Assistance program (01.03.23 in GR for conditioning)

[Lil Sebastian Cossa]

Two things.
1. Why?
2. Won't be able to justify it as he's been playing. You can't just send guys to the AHL on a conditioning stint. You need a valid reason. Not having played in 2+ months works for Vrana. Same thing applied for Hellberg. Or Soderblom.

Oh, you're just not trying hard enough to justify it.

 

[lilidk]

Thing is though, they aren't sending him cause he is good or to give GR something nice, they are sending him cause he hasn't played competitive hockey in 2 months.

Vrana has mental health problem, not physical, unless there's something else. Fabbri after having very serious surgery not going to go thru GR.

Neither has the rest of the team, lol.

No only one month December

 

[bedtime20]

maybe he can help cossa win a game

You don't know absolutely nothing, what problem Jakub Vrana had.

Vrana not finna play this week though. Next week maybe sire rockin that thang up. He finna light that scoring light again, soon. And hard.

 

[Filppula]

I've heard lalonde complain about defensive mistakes by Berggren and Veleno

Really? Must have missed this. I know he’s been high on their play.

 

[lilidk]

I hope Vrana doesn't play any game in GR, it's just humiliation

It’s already been announced it’s happening. It’s a conditioning stint, it isn’t embarrassing, and it’s really no big deal.

It is official

Red Wings assign Jakub Vrana to Grand Rapids for conditioning

Forward will play three games for the Griffins this week and then return to Detroit.

What are you, his mom?

you know Vrana probably agreed with the GR move.

 

[Henkka]

GR lost 4-1.

Vrana -2.

Proably played at 3rd line with Criscuolo?

Well, according to the game report the first goal against he was out there with Worrad, Criscuolo, Johansson, and Kampfer. The 2nd (EN goal against) it was L'Esperance, Hirose, Czarnik, Chiasson, and Johansson. Since Vrana wasn't out on the ice with Czarnik unit for Hirose's goal I would guess he was the extra attacker.

Yeah, something like that.

I expected Czarnik and O'Reagan were the Centers at Top6 lines, and Criscuolo is 3rd line center.

GR are abysmal. Changes required down there in the off-season.

Maybe you should take a step back from the ledge. It's a conditioning stint. It's not designed to degrade the player in any way.

Yeah, not sure where that reaction is coming from. We have absolutely no idea what (if any) training or physical activity Vrana has been doing for two months, so if the staff that's paid to evaluate his physical readiness thinks he could use a few warm-up games, then I'd much rather go that route than throw him in before he's ready (let alone risk any injury due to lack of conditioning).

Hopefully he can ramp up quickly and rejoin the big club soon.

 

[stillwater]

The player, in this case Vrana, has to agree to the conditioning stint. It can only last 6 days and/or 3 games. He's just there to work off the rust.

 

[lilidk]

3 game is over with 0 points, now what , did anybody watch him playing. Meanwhile we also have Zadina and Fabbri coming and excellent games by Veleno, Elmer and Berggren. Bertuzzi probably not far from coming also. Many here don't like Zadina , but it's to early give up on him

I think Zadina has been given his fair shake.

Send him to GR is an easy decision

Less than 0 chance he gets there.

It's not quite that simple. Zadina would have to pass through waivers before being sent to the AHL. He is no longer waiver exempt.

 

[Henkka]

Zadina can go with this conditioning stint -route...
