Canucks Re-Sign Filip Hronek to 8y/7.25m Contract

I dont want to see him with Hughes on the same pairing again barring the man-advantage.

Having him is like having another 1st pairing d.
Flip side is Pettersson - Myers are also holding their head above water in tough minutes, so Hughes - Hronek is a luxury you can live with for the time being. Can always mix and match those pairings if those two fall off.

I want Hronek to play with Pettersson as much as possible.

He'll bring him in nicely.

Likewise with Hughes and Big Willy Willander, if he makes it.

All of a sudden our defense is really really good. With Hughes back we can rock this:

DPetey Hronek
Hughes Forbort
MPetey Myers

Compared to this we rocked a couple a months ago:

Briesbois Myers
Soucy Juulsen
Forbort Desharnais

Had my doubts about re-signing Hronek to that big extension. But now with the salary cap set to hit $95m, his contract is a bargain.

He's really opened my eyes since Hughes went down. He's a truly legit, top-two d-man who shoots from the right side--almost impossible to find via the trade route or even the draft.
 
Every once in a while I am reminded that Detroit handed us one of the best right handed defencemen in the league in the middle of his prime for no discernible reason, and it brings a smile to my face
Not to mention they selected Zadina instead of Quinn Hughes

Detroit directly provided us our top two dmen :yo:

Then you see Yzerman paid SJ to take Walman. I hope Allvin calls him all the time to chat so he’ll gift is more guys.

Nice! So did we officially win the trade??
Horvat's contract is so not worth it. I knew he was never going to be a PPG player again after his one hit wonder that got him paid by another sucker.

So the trade with Detroit ends up being the Islanders first rounder (Axel Sandin-Pellika) at 18th overall in 2023 for Hronek.

Yes, you could say at this stage, that the Canucks won this trade. Hronek's contract, assuming he stays healthy, is an absolute 'bargain' for a right-shot defender who can reliably put up 40-50 points a season.

vancouver also gave up their own 2nd in the hronek trade so it was ultimately bo horvat and felix nilsson for hronek and raty
