It didn't happen, but that doesn't mean Vrana is staying put. Rutherford has released an update saying the original intel came from Vrana's agent, and next steps are being worked out.
In addition to being a former 13th overall pick (2014), Vrana got his name on the Stanley Cup with the Washington Capitals in 2018. His next two seasons with the Caps saw him hit career highs in goals and points, but it's been a steady regression since then. In 19 games this season, Vrana has 2 goals and 6 points.
