The Detroit Red Wings pulled off one of the NHL Trade Deadline's biggest moves, acquiring forwards Jakub Vrana and Richard Panik along with a 1st and 2nd round draft pick in exchange for underachieving forward Anthony Mantha.

And though it was a small sample size, Vrana and the Red Wings appear to be a match made in heaven. 

Vrana scored eight goals (four in one game against the Dallas Stars) and three assists in the 11 games he appeared in with his new club, and showed that he can be the kind of impactful player that helped the Capitals to their first Stanley Cup in franchise history in 2018. 

Red Wings fans can now breathe a sigh of relief, as Vrana agreed to a three-year contract extension that will keep him in the Motor City through 2024, with an annual average cap hit of $5.25 million per season. 

Let's throw it back to when Vrana absolutely lit up the Stars on April 22 of this past season: 


The last Red Wings player to score four goals? Anthony Mantha in October of 2019, also against the Dallas Stars. Talk about irony!
