In a contract year, Jakub Vrana posted a career-highs in goals (24), assists (23), average time on ice (14:02) and plus/minus (+20). The Washington Capitals know his potential.
There’s little doubt that the 23-year old Vrana is priority No. 1 for general manager Brian MacLellan this offseason, so there’s not a debate over whether the former first-round pick will be in D.C. next season. It’s how much he’ll cost.
Back in March, Isabelle Khurshudyan compared the potential Vrana contract to another 2014 first-round pick in Alex Tuch in Vegas.
