Confirmed with Link: Hronek traded to Vancouver for ‘23 1st (NYI) and ‘23 2nd (VAN)

[Roomba With a Bauer]

He has looked like a good top 4 guy for 90% of the year for us, get off it.

People overreact to these 2 Ottawa games so f***ing much.

Ogee got so erect at the prospect of finally getting to bash Hronek after the Ottawa games that he has to buy a whole new set of pants.

Hronek was killing it this season until they paired him with Chiarot. Funny how Seider and Hronek's play and statlines flipped after getting paired with that black hole.

Lol Seider looked way shittier with Chiarot too, but we’ll just disregard that bc it doesn’t fit our narrative.

 

[ArGarBarGar]

I like the trade. Done see Hronek keeping this season’s pace up long-term, and this is probably the highest value he has had up to this point.

Strike while the iron is hot.

Does Detroit have an internal cap? How much of this was Yzerman clearing salary for Larkin?

Pretty sure Detroit's only internal cap is to not spend absurd money on players who are not worth the cap space. Detroit isn't anywhere near the cap because - well - look at the roster.

Never stopped Kenny from being capped out with shitty roster...)))

Because Mo was dragging around Chia against the #1 matchup every night, not the #2.

He looked good the first 30 games with Maatta. When paired with Chiarot his defensive mistakes could no longer be hidden.

I understand that Chiarot sinks anyone but Hronek isn’t the kind of guy to lift his partner. Rather, he needed someone to lift him. That’s not a guy that is a core piece. That’s not someone you build around. That’s the thing about guys like Hronek, Gostisbehere, Barrie and D’Angelo.

I live in Seattle and visit Vancouver so I’ll still be ‘blessed’ by Hronek’s presence on the ice. I’ll have to check out a Canucks game just for the lulz and I’ll @ you when I’m at Rogers when Hronek shits on the ice.

Athletic article sums it up nicely:

Canucks: D
Red Wings: A

Yeah, and that's why he's currently in Edmonton.

Yeah, and what’s Maatta? The most competent partner we have given him in his 5 years here? How f***ing sad is that?

Yeah I can’t wait for your unbiased review of Hronek in-person scouting … yippee

 

[StargateSG1]

Yeah, and that's why he's currently in Edmonton.

I like him better doing his damage waaaay the hell "out there".

 

[Svencouver]

Are you f***ing kidding me? 10 years ago I bought a Lidstrom jersey. This year, I told myself I needed a jersey of a current player. So I bought a jersey of my favorite player on the team this past Christmas.

I'll trade you my 14th OA Pick in the 2023 Draft jersey that I never got the chance to wear

 

[Run the Jewels]

If we can get someone to overpay for Bert and Zadina, it would be Holland.

 

[StargateSG1]

If we can get someone to overpay for Bert and Zadina, it would be Holland.

Yeah, I don't think he has any assets left, as in draft picks.
Maybe a prospect or 2

Maybe a prospect or 2, I mean, we can strategically target for like 2027 picks when Drai and McJesus walk and they suck again...

 

[Fyodorov]

No, but who cares, the 2024 draft class is considered to be subpar. You’ll get the same value at 16 this year as you will at 6 next year.

Nothing about the 2024 class is subpar.

Eiserman, Celebrini, Kiviharju

Poor Namestnikov got TDLed again to the Sharks

 

[SoupNazi]

Interesting how this has 2.5 times the number of replies of the Larkin thread.

I think Bert has the potential to be the most impactful player traded this year if moved to a playoff team. What ever team gets him will not be an overpayment.

[Hen Kolland]

He also has one year left before needing a new contract and has earned a raise. It’s likely just early cap management and capitalizing on the prices in the market.

 

[Ezekial]

I like the trade. Done see Hronek keeping this season’s pace up long-term, and this is probably the highest value he has had up to this point.

Strike while the iron is hot.

He wasn't going to be worth his next contract, got Seider, Raymond, Rasmussen, and Berggren up for deals that offseason as well. I'm sure they could all fit rather easily but Hronek at 6-7 mil seems rough.

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

If we are moving on from Hronek and not acquiring anyone to replace him I would have to expect that Bertuzzi, Zadina, and Vrana are gone by end of day on Friday as well. Could be the start of a fire sale.
