Vrana will undergo shoulder surgery that will sideline him for at least four months, the team announced Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Based on the club's timeline, Vrana will be shelved until at least February due to his shoulder surgery. As such, the winger will no doubt be placed on long-term injured reserve to start the year in order to provide the Wings with some cap relief from his newly minted three-year, $15.75 million contract. While the 25-year-old winger has reached the 20-goal mark in two of the last three seasons, the length of his expected layoff should see him left off the board in re-draft formats and only stashed in deeper dynasty leagues.
