As mentioned by Pagnotta, it is unlikely that Vrana returns to the club at all. Given that the team is more than halfway through the season, him joining at this rate is unlikely. In addition, General Manager <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/y\/yzermst01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-02-09_hr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Steve Yzerman<\/a> will look to move him this off-season.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The Detroit Red Wings Options<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">There are two options that Yzerman can go in this situation with the winger. He could trade him for whatever assets he could get, or the more likely option is to buy him out.
