Description

More info came out today that Vrana will not be back up in DET this year and they will move on from him in the summer via trade or buyout.

Trade Reasoning
DET - assuming this info is accurate and Detroit has given up on Vrana they flip him for a pretty much identical piece (this year and next at ~5m for a winger to play in Grand Rapids) and get a pick as well. Bailey also could be an interesting piece to swap for as he’s only owed 3.5 in actual cash next year and he’s also a vet leader in the locker room which could help a young GR team.
NYI - bc this 5m winger is playing at the NHL level in NY, the isles make an upside play here. They flip Bailey who’s not the answer for a player with more upside and who’s play style fits better next to 13/14. If Vrana doesn’t work out all we lost was a 3rd for an upside play. If he does work out we can capture a good player for little cost.

Dumping vrana maybe but taking on bailey seems like a no.

There is just zero reason for Detroit to "dump" Vrana, so the risk-reward balance for Detroit to ride it out far outweighs the cap when we have the space in the short term.
