We now have two #1 D's on the team.
Hronek and DPetey.

Canucks Re-Sign Filip Hronek to 8y/7.25m Contract
- Thread starter Vector
- Start date
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.
This run, with QH injured, we've seen Hronek level up.
He was good as a passanger with Quinn, but now we are getting our moneys worth with him being the more puck dominant player on his own pair.

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.

Hronek reminds me of a young Ohlund, 2 way reliable on both ends.
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
Back to back 28 minute games. 11 points in last 11 games.
One of the better #2 dmen in the league.
Thank you Detroit for Hughes and Hronek we love you guys.

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
