We told you about it in the last few hours, we had a huge surprise in the National Hockey League waivers, when the Detroit Red Wings put Jakub Vrana's name on it.
We're talking about a 26-year-old forward who is the second-leading scorer in the entire league since 2020 (per 60 minutes), at five-on-five, behind only Auston Matthews.
Vrana, drafted 13th overall in 2014, was the centerpiece of the trade involving Anthony Mantha (between Detroit and Washington).
The verdict is in!
We just learned that Vrana was passed over on waivers. Wow!
Vrana has amassed:
- 2 points in 2 games this season
- 19 points (13 goals) in 26 games last year
- 11 points in 11 games with Detroit the year before.
He is averaging nearly 35 goals and 65 points per 82 games and is earning $5.25 million per year through 2024.
