Don't know if he's that great of a coach, but he got royally screwed by Columbus. He got hired extremely last minute after that whole Babcock fiasco. He had no opportunity to really prepare for the season. Columbus had a ton of injuries including Werenski for the entire year.
The goaltending was shit. The defense was shit. I mean Gudbranson was used as a top 4D because they had no one else.
The same thing happened to Jared Bednar after Patrick Roy walked just before the season started, and he put together one of the worst seasons in NHL history, but went on to win the Cup a few years later.
Anyways at least he still gets paid for that final year.

Thanks NHL for keeping my eyes on the product… good job as always.
PS Having a game a week for the Finals isn’t it.

Canadian teams keeping up the tradition of being incompetent.
Yeah, don't love that deal at all on the surface... Begs the question of how well they assessed the person. If he's diligent off ice, is a good teammate, and figures out how to better deal with the Canadian market media scrutiny, it could age well for them... But that a lot of "if"
Is there some off ice concerns with Hronek? I know nothing of the player and never watch the Canucks but the production seems to warrant the contract?

The guy played 40 good games next to Quinn Hughes. At least with the rising cap it will be tolerable in a couple of years.
Not that I know of.... The point was that making an 8 year commitment at ~8% of the cap, taking him from mid 20's to mid'30's, you'd better be convinced that the guy is a net positive off the ice.

How could a team fit that contract in a consequent cap structure? Is Hronek a real D2 on a stanley cup winner?

With 2 stops maybe but with a 1 stop flight it would take 8 to 9 hoursApparently, unless you fly private the Edmonton-Miami travel take 14 to 16 hours

They legit got the worst possible anthem singer to sing O Canada lol
I hope Florida shits the bed at home and chokes real hard.
The problem is Edmonton may need some of those goals back from the other night.
The Cup needs to log more miles...
