Seems high to me but Canucks have a lot of FAs so maybe trimming some of them out.

So he is making 600K less than Hughes, good for him but that's an overpay.
In 3 years he will likely be making about $6 M less than Hughes. Hughes be in line for one monster of a deal has he becomes a UFA at age 27.
Perspectives... lots of models seem to think that a lot of Hronek's success is based on his D pairing with Q Hughes...
A lot of his value has been on the PP, especially in 2022/23.

I guess it comes down to, is his success due to Hughes or is Hughes' success in part due to having a competent D partner? Probably a bit of both. If he's there to play with Hughes for 8 years it might just be a good match.
That’s the guy who said that Morrisey’s contract was the worst in the league two years ago, right?

We went over this maybe 2 days ago. At the time Morrissey had two straight seasons of pretty bad numbers.
UFA season is just about to start. Especially this year with the big cap jump better to over price with 1 team and see what the other 31 teams have to offer come July 1.
After a stellar junior career and several good pro seasons, then forced to carry a D that lost Buff, Trouba, Chiarot and Myers. Jets' D was Morrissey, Pionk, Poolman, Sbisa, Bitetto, Beaulieu. He was swamped. The negative perspectives about Morrissey were wild and without a longer view of his trajectory and contextualization. Of course, we later learned of personal challenges, but the idea that he just forgot how to play hockey always seemed weird to me.

$100k less than Hanifin with similar numbers and impacts.
The bar is going to be set high for top 4 free agent defensemen, the next notch down. On the highest scale I wonder what Evan Bouchard is worth now?

tired of going thru the trade route to prop up the team.......rather have this team try with some real genuine effort in inserting youth into the lineup to develop them after a few years in the minors...all we r doing is by trades is digging one hole to fill another....

Again, it was an article that compared contract value and length to output. In fact, it was a view of his trajectory at that point in his career and how his output compared to other defencemen when they were Morrissey's age and how their careers went. It wasn't "I think these 10 players suck and here's why". Murat explained some context to him, Murat was right that he was way better in the following season, and now everyone thinks he's top tier.
it's pure hindsight bias given how morrissey improved drastically from that stretch from 18-19 season to the CDN division season to now. many including myself on here wanted him demoted, acquire better Dman playing ahead of him, or even traded or exposed to seattle. if you ran the same value for morrissey now, he apparently ranks 7th, which IMO would be roughly where he would rank league-wide for dmen (top 5-10)

Is Markstrom overrated or is it just me. Curious to see the return though
