Y'all are too obsessed with this Ha'Ronick fella.
We make the playoffs with Hronek on this team. I understand the trade and appreciate the long term vision - ASP might be incredible. But we sacrificed quite a bit in the short term with that deal
I’d much rather pay Hronek that money and term than Copp or Chiarot…
Over/Under on SE putting up 50pts next year?
Comparing Hronek today to SE today is utter nonsense
No Copp and No Holl would have given us plenty of room and made our team better
If Yzerman does not trade Hronek...
--> we don't get those extra picks to acquire DeBrincat...
when no DeBrincat ---> Kane won't join in here....
when no Kane ---> Tarasenko won't join in here...
It all cumulates.
If ASP is even the exact same as Hronek it was a good move. Kick the can down the road, kept the cap down we aren't ready to pay a guy like Hronek this much rn...
So you admit that long term were probably better off with ASP but would rather have hronek short term on a huge cap hit because you want to make the playoffs and lose first round now?
I can read. I exchanged Petry because keeping Copp makes us a better team than moving on from Copp and keeping Hronek. $5.5-6Mish (ie Holl and Petry) would be ok value for Hronek.
Copp is better defensively than Hronek and they provide similar levels of offense.
I wouldn't term the words "might be" as an admission. I have ASP has our #2 prospect behind Cossa so I feel hopeful about it being a long term win for the organization. It was more just a statement on the reality of the situation.
Looking at our roster, we could really use a top 4 rhd in his prime...
Agreed. Seider, Raymond and Hronek would all be looking for big deals on the Wings right now. That's a lot of money and term to commit to in one off season.
So out of those three who's gonna be the odd man out?
Lol. Stop making sense. But I still wouldn't pay Hronek with that money I would get rid of Chiarot and give it to Drai next summer. Then we will only need 2 more D manHoll and Copp
Red Wings had bad seasons from Chiarot and then Yzerman double down and get Holl, like he did not know what happened in Toronto. I remember I was driving and listening one of those bloggers who was screaming why Stivi why, you are already have Chiarot.Holl and Copp
