JAKUB VRANA - Left Winger - 23 - $3.35MM Cap Hit - RFA in 2021-2022
LAST UPDATED 9/20/19
A native of Prague, the Capitals selected Vrana at 13th overall in the 2014 NHL Draft, but he only really grew into his game during the 2018-2019 season. Vrana possesses excellent speed, shooting, and offensive awareness, but lacks the defensive awareness to be an effective player in his own zone. Vrana’s poor defensive instincts severely limit his value, as he can’t be trusted to play significant minutes. Furthermore, his 14.9 shooting percentage over this past season means that regression is definitely in order for Vrana unless he can convince coach Todd Rierden that he is worthy of regular playing time.
