3 years younger and 2 mil cheaper. Not the same.Vancouver saw the Nurse deal and figured they better give a third pairing guy the equivalent.
This take is about as edgy as a marble.Vancouver saw the Nurse deal and figured they better give a third pairing guy the equivalent.
With the D version of EP and Willander likely to be on the team for the 25/26 season the cost of our D core will be just fine. By the time they are off their ELCs and Hughes has a new deal, the number will work just fine. The Canucks knew they couldn't afford to lose Hronek, and paid a reasonable price to retain him.The Canucks weren't in a good position on D. Without him, their defense would have been Hughes, Soucy, and Poolman(?). Is it too much? Perhaps... Friedman, though, has talked about the Canucks making decisions on guys. They will probably let some of their depth players walk in order to alleviate this contract.
7.5 is equivalent to 9.5 now? What are they up to in the Alberta school system?Vancouver saw the Nurse deal and figured they better give a third pairing guy the equivalent.
Charts might be the worst thing to happen to the sport. People want other sports to be baseball so much.These charts are so f***ing stupid man. Just watch the game. I am not a Canucks fan but this guy is a specimen and has passed the eye test pretty much time I've seen him play. Strong, skates well, knows how to contribute offensively without taking away from his defensive game. I'd kill for this guy on the Pens.
Well that's the problem. Hronek had a great season and played a big role in Vancouver's success, and then fell off offensively after getting an elbow injury.I don't get the angst. Seems like the going rate for a good defenceman. Especially with the cap going up.

Dude couldn't make a pass or tee it up but was solid defensively.I thought he was horrible in the playoffs.
I know, that's why I'm concerned for your school system.Reading is hard.
This chart says Pettersson was better than Miller this season. Therefore everything else on the chart can be dismissed without further analysis. If your model says Pettersson was better than Miller then your model is shit.View attachment 884423
I just think with this kind of contract he needs to be passing both the eye-test and be at least average on the advanced stats test (agree they shouldn't be used as a be-all/end-all). I've seen plenty of HFBoards fanbases pump their players up during a good year and then go super toxic on them if the team regresses.

I can see why Vancouver resigned him but I think he's way overrrated. Devon Toews makes the same money and he's a far superior dman than Hronek is. Hronek was terrible in the playoffs for Vancouver but hopefully he gets better next year.
Maybe half a mill too much after a career season. Oh no.I don't get the angst. Seems like the going rate for a good defenceman. Especially with the cap going up.
Not exactly apples to apples, Toews will be 37 at the end of his 7 year deal, Hronek will be 34 at the end of his 8 year deal. To put it in perspective, when Toews was 26 (Hronek's age) he was traded from the Islanders and signed his first 4 year deal with Colorado.I can see why Vancouver resigned him but I think he's way overrrated.
