yave1964 Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 RedWings dealt Vrana to the Blues for a 7th round pick, keeping half his salary for this year and nexy and receive a mid level at best prospect in return. The Wings eating the salary is a big price to pay, but Vrana reminds me of Petr Klima, a former Yzerman teammate in the eighties who partied his way out of Detroit, was along for the ride on an Edmonton cup and then slowly drank his talent away. Stevie saw first hand guys like Klima and Probert and the effect they can have on disrupting a team and setting them back. Its just money, I guess, Glad he is someone elses problem now. Bonino is a former Pen two time champion fantastic fit, 7th consecutive year with at least 10 goals, great faceoff man, fantastic P/K and clubhouse guy, came over for a 3rd and a 5th, another team is involved to make the salary work and is getting one of the picks. San Jose going nowhere, Bonino an UFA at least they got something for a player they were losing anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another ex-Cap Stanley Cup 2018 winner on the move. Yeah, Jakub Vrana’s drug addiction. Too many in society, just one more. When the Caps offloaded him to Detroit two seasons ago, many here thought it a Washington mistake. Maybe the Caps knew the likelihood of what was to come, that others didn’t: Vrana entered the treatment program a year and a half later. Good and bad for Caps fans: - Washington was done with Detroit, but St Louis comes to town in 2 weeks. Hopefully see Jakub again, reminisce the Cup, and give ‘im a big hug! - Caps TV viewers will, however, very likely need to be super-quick with their mute buttons lest they hear Craig Laughlin yet again call Vrana ‘Jake the Snake’. Oh the pain, the pain… Edited March 3, 2023 by SaucyJack 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
