I would say otherwise, if I was a team knowing that the team is less likely to sign a player, I'm not paying more, I'm paying less. Like Detroit did with Debrincat. Ottawa paid 7oa, 39oa, 112oa to acquire him and got 25oa, 112oa and two bums in return. That is significantly shittier of a return.

You’re comparing a prime age top pair RHD with an undersized streaky winger.

What sort of return is Van getting for Hronek?

 

[Vector]

What sort of return is Van getting for Hronek?

From my searching, there’s not much precedent. I couldn’t find a good comparable.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

IMO, priority 1 is shedding Mikheyev. Everything else becomes a lot more straight forward if we can manage to do that.

 

[Jerry the great]

What sort of return is Van getting for Hronek?

It will obviously depend on what the market looks like if we decide not to sign him. There is no urgency for us to sign him until just before his arb hearing. All it takes to get overpaid is one or two GMs who struck out in FA that need to fill holes on the right side.

The only one I found or could think of was Trouba. Pionk and 20oa (ville Heinola)
That seasons Jets's had Buff, Myers, Trouba. 99 points.
Next year Pionk, Demelo, Poolman 80 points.
Pionk has been very serviceable but has fail when asked to play top pair.

Seth Jones was traded with 1 year left. He got a haul. Columbus haven't made the playoffs since.

I can understand both sides but Van is gonna want to be competitive. That means having a good right side and not 1st round picks that are years away.

 

[ManVanFan]

Since getting rid of Tanev, Van hasn't made the playoffs since they had a full season of Hronek.

True, one thing would be if Allvin is looking at getting future assets like picks and using them as capital to trade for what he truly wants, along the lines of Horvat -> 1st -> Hronek.

Very bad news. Capfriendly will be gone July 5th

That’s terrible. Well, time for the next person to cash out…

Certainly possible. Probably something that is entertained ahead of the draft this year.

Possible swaps.
Parayko + for Hronek
Larsson + for Hronek
Jokiharju + for Hronek

Three way with Rangers. Hronek to someone, Schneider to Van, picks prospects to Rangers.

Hronek is 3 years younger than the youngest good UFA D.

 

[Vector]

Losing Capfriendly absolutely f***ing sucks.

 

[Vector]

-Dillon will go to free agency
-very good market for defensemen and depth guys
-Joshua is he poster boy for heavy playoff-style Swiss-army knife guys
-these types of forwards will get paid this summer

 

[Vector]

Now I’m going to have to figure out Puckpedia’s interface. Hope they build out their tools.

 

[Wisp]

It's too quiet. I would have expected the targets of Canucks pro-scouting to start leaking by now. Starting to feel compelled by @Baby Pettersson 's notion there's some handshake deals in place.

This blows. Why the heck are they closing it?

First Capgeek now Cap Friendly!

Edit: To me it sounds like the Caps want to use the interface all for themselves lmao.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

f***ing Capitals.

I blame Tom Wilson.

 

[VanillaCoke]

Losing capfriendly is such a bummer.

It's the only icon on my homescreen, I'm rattled.

Might well have a huge impact on how much I watch nhl next year, and Honestly all my hockey related interests, fantasy/betting/pools/offseason trades/ free agent day etc

Well, it is CAP-friendly after all...


I'll show myself out.

I wonder if the creator etc goes with it?

 

[Wisp]

Probably. Suddenly becomes an NHL front office job. He's worked that roll in the past.

I believe typically when someone buys an independently run website, part of the contract is the main guy(s) in charge of running it continues to do so for a couple of years

We are so screwed

Yah. I imagine there are a lot of non-competes in that contract as well.

I also wonder if it was shopped around the league or even too the league before being sold?
