I'd do it. I like Vrana but he's still not getting the chance he deserves in Washington, and forwards of his caliber are more available than D of Klingberg's production.
Team and league in sig, I have the chance the get Klingberg. My D sorely needs an upgrade but my forwards are heading for a cliff too. I’d say I’m in contention but my goalies are killing me, so I’m at the cliff of the rebuild plan.
What say you?

I'd trade Vrana for Klingberg in your circumstance. If Washington continually refuses to let Vrana shine, then what good is it if we all think Vrana could be doing better with better usage?
Ended up keeping Vrana and trading two draft picks for Klingber, a 1st and a 3rd, for 2022. Thanks for the input.
