The Detroit Red Wings and Jakub Vrana will avoid tomorrow’s arbitration meeting:

The $5.25M AAV is significant in that he is now the second highest paid Red Wing on the team (tied with Frans Nieslen) behind only the captain, Dylan Larkin. When I predicted the figures for the final five RFA deals remaining, I figured that Vrana would clock in below Tyler Bertuzzi’s $4.
