Thread: Trade Deadline if Team is Bad
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CantStopWontStop</b></div><div>Likely. But I know people who have had substance abuse issues and made changes to eliminate them from their lives. I know people who have them and won’t change. Vrana will show us which he picks.</div></div>

I don't think the issue with the Wings was the substance abuse; Vrana wouldn't have been the 1st player Yzerman brought into the fold after entering and exiting the program. I think it was him electing for shoulder surgery during training camp in 21-22 season and then entering player assistance a couple of games into 22-23 and finally stinking up the place in GR. That doesn't seem to be the mindset Stevie appreciates, thus why he basically paid St. Louis to take him.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caniac2000</b></div><div>Lindros' size wasn't responsible for his injuries, the fact he was trying to use dude to break the glass was. Bure is one of the premier examples when you think of careers destroyed by injury. Even if he wasn't, there's no comparison between Vrana and Bure. Vrana has played 101 games over the last three seasons. That is not a healthy player. You cannot argue against that at this point. 220 eligible games over that time frame and he's played less than half of them. Whether that's injuries, off-ice issues with addiction, or anything else, that hurts his value. No one is going to pay this kind of price for him.</div></div>

Of course the 2020-21 season was only 56 games long of which he played 50 of them.
