justwincaps:
2 yrs - $3.35 million per year

I'm cool with that. $3.35m doesn't seem like too much for a 24 year old, 24 goal getter. I know he isn't all that proven, but he has improved his game over the last three seasons.
Cap restriction forced the short term - GMBM pretty much stated that a month ago - that they would look for a short term bridge deal to get him signed.
Plus, I am so grateful for Vranna in that HIS PLAY pretty much forced Burka to FINALLY be sold down the river.
Whose left to sign? Djoos and Stephenson? Anybody else.
Hope they are willing to play for peanuts. What? do the Caps have like $1 mil left in cap space?
Go Caps
richkrt99:
3.35 mil / 24 goals = $139,583 per goal
3.35 mil / 49 pts = $56,779 per point
Last year we paid Burka what? $3.25 mil For.....12 goals, 13 assists. Vrana almost exactly doubled that output, not to mention not being a total fucking life suck on the team like Burka.
Sorry to keep kicking you Burka, but your departure was way fucking overdue.
Now that Burka is gone....Going to have to go back to bitching about Dylan now.....or maybe Orlov will be the whipping boy. I sure as hell hope not on either count.

Pretty cool pay/performance stats Rich!
I believe Vrana DID make the Bura trade quite a bit easier on Caps mgmnt to bring to reality.
It’s interesting that Vranas new deal is very similar to the two-year, show me, contract that Bura was given, by the Caps, not too long ago!
I think it’s smart on GMBM’s part, NOT to have gone ALL IN. with a bigger, long term deal for Vrana.
I’m a fan of Jake, and he is quite a bit further along, overall. than Bura was, at the same timeframe in their careers.
He has responded much better, especially to the small disciplinary actions, given out over the season, which is great, although he dropped off a bit in the playoffs.
This deal gives Jake an excellent opportunity to show a continued, steady growth, and increased maturity, to propel him into the ranks of a highly feared forward in the league!!
OR NOT, interestingly enough! If he doesn’t pan out! ( I do believe it’s more likely he will, though)!
Either way, both sides will have had suffficient time to gain a lot of info, when signing time comes up again!
I like this deal! C’mon Jake!!!!

Unless something goes terribly wrong, I expect Vrana and Willy to be 30 goal scorers this season. Vrana had 24 and Willy has 22 last season, that's just about double from the Cup run, and Willy had that lovely vacation at the beginning of last season. I wish the Caps would've made a longer deal with Vrana
