Confirmed with Link: Canucks Re-Sign Filip Hronek to 8y/7.25m Contract

[dez]

About what I thought it would be, its fair.

Also what happened to ‘his number starts at 8’

 

[Jovofan]

Meh. Seems like a ton of money to invest in a guy that played second fiddle to the Norris Trophy winner and disappeared for half the season. Hopefully he proves to be worth it by the end of the contract.

 

[arttk]

i think 7.25 is fine.

 

[Snatcher Demko]

Well it's more AAV than I had hoped, but perhaps my hopes were unrealistic.

Anyhow, Hronek is a versatile d-man who can play in all situations. I'd like to see Hronek carry his own pairing next season though as I think his potential is somewhat limited covering for Quinn. Getting Tanev could certainly help that.

Importantly this helps Allvin focus on other tasks.

i think once the cap hits like 95m this will be a good contract.

for the record, suck it Servalli for the 8M shit

Time for Canucks fans to hit up Frank Seravalli to see how that "it starts with an 8" comments ended up.

I'm still waiting for Necas to be traded...

Not sure where Seravalli gets his information from but I hate that man more and more every day.

7.25 is not bad especially once the cap rises

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

On his playoff performance - he was definitely injured. His second half cool-down wasn't injury driven, IMO, but I do think a lot of his playoff play was injury related.

And we have some good historical examples of our own (Kevin Bieksa, being one) of guys who struggled in their first playoff appearance that had good performances down the line.

He's a young top four guy, hopefully with lots of room to grow.

 

[Flik]

Didn't even wait until the finals were over. Based.

 

[Leif Rohlin]

Makes sense all things considered.

7.25 was the number I had penciled in but I was hoping they'd be able to bring it down a little with an 8-year term.

 

[Treefingers]

Totally fine signing. He wasn’t getting under 7, and at least it’s not the Seravalli special of 8+ haha.

 

[Bgav]

Frank is in shambles rn

 

[vancityluongo]

perfectly fine with this as a stand alone. basically the going price for a complementary partner to a norris calibre defender.

choosing hronek over zadorov (which is what this appears to be) - f*** yes

extrapolating a dozen playoff games to determine which players to keep for the better part of the next decade is insane. glad the canucks went with the larger sample size in their decision.

 

[TruGr1t]

I’d expect he would have gotten something similar on the open market. He was trending higher before tanking offensively in the second half and a rather underwhelming playoffs.

 

[Flik]

Also, he better level up and maintain his performance for longer than half a season. He got his bag. Time to earn it.

 

[wonton15]

Regardless, nothing matters past years 4-5 if we can’t win in the Hughes contract window anyways. All in baby

 

[StreetHawk]

Always better to get it done as you just never know.

 

[Regress2TheMeme]

I think im relieved management isnt jumping into the unknown by dropping this player. The price and term feels high but i think we would end up overpaying for whoever the replacement would be. I think he's part of keeping Hughes happy as well.

Signing bonus heavy (fairly buyout-proof), 2025-2028 - Full No Move, 2028-2032 - 15-Team NTC

Was hoping for a little lower price with a contract that takes him to 35.

Over/under on the number of interviews he gives over the duration of this contract? 8.5?

He played 94 games last season, most he had ever played in a season is 78. Hopefully Canucks can have a better system next year to put less stress on the defence.

I'm going 8 - 1 player exit interview per year.

 

[Killer Orcas]

Nice to see him finally signed in a year or two this deal should be fantastic.

 

[timw33]

I would now feel better if they disclosed that he was hurt sometime in January and confirm our suspicions.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

He's got millions of reasons to like this team, but I still like the sentiment expressed here.
