Vrana has had 6+4=10 points on his last 10 AHL games. +4 plusminus, 36 shots, 3,6 shots per game,
At first 7 games he had 0+1 = 1 point, -6 in plusminus, 13 shots on goal.
Total season turnaround since mid-january.
I’m hoping that this means Bertuzzi is about to be punted out the door.
Vrana with j Hughes would be filthyAnd/or Vrana. Detroit needs a real upgrade on wing.
Bert is too slow and is trash defensively aside from that.
Vrana seems like a headcase for all the talent he has, and is also a defensive liability.
I would be happy if Detroit can trade both this TDL and get a 1st for Bert with Retention, and a 2nd + B prospect or reclamation project for Vrana. Toss in Zadina with Vrana and add a 4th.
Best candidates for Vrana in my opinion:
Winnipeg
Nashville
LAK
New Jersey (When Tatar walks they can keep Vrana the extra year.)
Carolina (After losing Patches they could use a replacement depth scorer)
These teams are all good teams that could use an extra boost, and they all have trade assets that can be sent the other way without taking anything from the roster.
Won't be Nashville. Poile basically said today that it would take a big turn around for us to be buyers on anyone.And/or Vrana. Detroit needs a real upgrade on wing.

Why did he get sent down to the AHL?If Vrana has found his game at the NHL level, why would the Wings want to trade him?
And, if he hasn't, what team would want him?
TDL is not a time when you go looking for reclamation projects
Because he was in the PAP for over 2 months and wasn’t in shape.Why did he get sent down to the AHL?
Sorry for my ignorance, but what is PAPBecause he was in the PAP for over 2 months and wasn’t in shape.

No, he was recalled.Damn, Vrana has been waived again?
I thought someone made a new thread.No, he was recalled.
Fron that roster it's plain to see who you'd send backI'd love him on the Oilers at 50% retention. Foegele + decent prospect
Kane - McD - Yamo
Vrana - Drai - Hyman
Kostin - RNH - Janmark
Holloway - McLeod - Ryan
He'd light it up next to a set-up man like Drai and a grinder like Hyman

It SPECIFICALLY stated "No takesies backsies".Was there a ”takesybacksy” clause in the original deal with Caps?
Just asking for a friend.
Package Labanc with Timo and maybe we can make something work.Not sure if it’s been brought up in this thread as I didn’t want to scroll through 17 pages but how do wings fans feel about trading Vrana for Labanc straight up? Both have one year remaining after this year, Vrana’s cap hit is roughly 550k more. Labanc has fallen out of favour with our coach and both players could likely use a change of scenery. Sharks will have the space with Timo and others getting dealt. Vrana could slot into Timo’s place on Hertl’s wing.
Umm sure lol, Labanc and Meier for Vrana, Kasper and a 1st round pick in 2023.Package Labanc with Timo and maybe we can make something work.
Lottery protected and might interest you in one of these other fine young gentlemen? Wallinder, Soderblom, Veleno, Mazur, (basically anyone not Mo, Ray, Kasper, or Edvinsson).Umm sure lol, Labanc and Meier for Vrana, Kasper and a 1st round pick in 2023.
