I wish Steve would let him get more chances and not trade him
So far he has looked good with the Blues, adds some much needed speed to the team
Two teams he left on bad terms . I’ve said it once to say it again real Xavier Laflamme vibes. Hopefully he figures it out in St. Louis but it’s definitely him.
Varana is such a fun player to watch. Every time he gets the puck there's a chance he'll score. As a Detroit fan I really wanted to see him play more games in the red and white, but it's probably for best that he gets a fresh start, and the blues kinda deserve to get something back considering all the good blues players on our roster now 😀
10 mil for 26 points? Yzerman got hosed on this one
It's not what he does with the puck….it's what he does without the puck. I think the perception was he's not a two way player and doesn't fit into the Lalonde system,
yzerman fouling it up again lol
buffalo got good before the wings and they were an absolute joke 2 years lol
Blues fan, I am stoked to have vrana on our team, but most of all I hope he succeeds as a person and can manage or beat whatever he is going through. Real life happens to everybody and he seems like a good kid
I will never understand why we didn't ride his contract out. It was a terrible move not to as Vrana's entire career was hanging in the balance because he has to perform this next year, and in Vrana fashion – he will. Except, the blues will benefit from it. I blame Yzerman first and foremost, but primarily Lalonde. It was a terrible managerial and business decision. The guy is starting to rub me the wrong way as he has this idea of control and where he came from, but… to me, Vrana was worth more to the org than Lalonde was. It's just an overall sense of priggishness that you could sense was oozing from staff that needn't not even exist. Kind of the like the middle manager in life who, despite you doing well, going above and beyond, producing profit for the company, and making that individual manager look better, they scold you for taking a day off that you're entitled to. It's that type of peon-brained personality that calls shots who ends up ultimately being a detriment to a successful program – whoever's primary influence it was.
The worst trade return for this type of scorer – EVER! I have no idea why SY was steaming so bad to get rid of Vrana. He was signed thru 2024 – so play him – then trade him at the TDL in 2024! That Players Assistance reasoning must have been pretty bad!
I wld love if vrana found his game and became the player we all know he can be, also if he resigned w the blues after next season, same w kapanen, they def have the skill set
Vrana is a finisher. Wings got too many guys that get chances but can't score. Don't understand why Detroit gave him up for nothing.
Yzerman really F’d this one up. Pretty much par for the course. Sorry mindless “Yzerplan” cult followers but your boy is not up to the job
