My question is what's his next contract worth?
Also, do you put him right on the line with Zadina and Larkin?
Does he have 1 or 2 RFA years remaining after this current deal?
My question is what's his next contract worth? I was seeing 3-5 years at $4.5 to 5.5M but it was an older article. I'd like to see if we couldn't get him and Erne signed before the start of next year on 3 year deals rather than a 5-6 year deal. Vrana isn't having the year he has had in the past so he might be had a bit cheaper now than if he gets hot when he gets in the lineup playing more minutes.

I thought Cap fans were saying that he's looking at closer to 6x6 on his next deal.My question is what's his next contract worth? I was seeing 3-5 years at $4.5 to 5.5M but it was an older article.

Apparently he had some effort issues as well. I'm hoping a bigger role with the Wings motivates his play as he was just a 3rd liner in Washington iirc.
On the 3rd line because of Lav, he was on the second line last season.Apparently he had some effort issues as well. I'm hoping a bigger role with the Wings motivates his play as he was just a 3rd liner in Washington iirc.
I can see him traded, to be honest. Detroit has a lot of wingers coming up.

I think I'd like to see the Wings do the below when Fabbri is back:
Fabbri- Larkin- Vrana
Erne-Ras- Zadina (I really like Zadina and Ras together and Erne has played himseful up the lineup with Bert/Ryan out)
The next year you probably go:
Bert- Larkin- Vrana
Fabbri- Ras- Zadina
Panik- Namestikov -Berggren/ Svecb
Erne -Glenny- Smith
Extra: Nielson (Svech/Helm)
I'd wager a hefty amount that he's signed to a 1-year deal, keeping him RFA the following off-season and then making a decision on his future at that point. If he really clicks and Yzerman really likes him, maybe he signs a 3-year deal and buys his first year of UFA, but that is hard for me to see. A 2-year deal takes him right to UFA status, so I doubt that's an option.
I think I would link him up with Larkin right off the bat, but I have no idea what the Blashill line blender is going to produce.
