A conditioning loan can be a maximum of 14 days (today is day 7 for Vrana).
When a player is on a conditioning loan, he takes up a spot on the NHL roster and his full cap hit counts against the cap. The Wings have plenty of cap space, but they are at a full 23 man roster, including Vrana and 6 players on IR. If one of those players is ready to return, they need to make space on the roster.
