What bottom 5 team has ever traded a 1st and 2nd rounder for help now? This is really hard to take. Hronek better be a lot better than I remember him to be.
We dont need a RHD..?

His point production will take a hit in Vancouver. He was splitting pp1 with Seider in Detroit, he’s gonna get scrap pp2 time here. Also riding a high pdo this year.Take a look at comparable players. His hockey card stats are comparable to Sergachev. Jared Spurgeon is another one. Difference being those two are a lot better defensively but that’s not a consideration when you play big minutes and put up points as a defenseman.
Shayna Goldman likes this one for Detroit.
Coversely though..He's a 25 year old RHD who is in the top 20 scoring for NHL D......Pretty much the kind of player you would hope to draft with your 15th OA
We dont need a top 4 RHD...Why is that?We absolutely did not need this RHD.

Our RHD depth:
Bear
Myers

We absolutely need Hronek... badly.
40~ points and 22 min/game landed Serg an $8.5M extension and that’s without the right shot premium. Unless Hronek’s production drops significantly next season, he’ll be looking at $7.5M minimum on a longterm extension at 26 years old. Hell, Allvin might extend him this offseason.His point production will take a hit in Vancouver. He was splitting pp1 with Seider in Detroit, he’s gonna get scrap pp2 time here.

I suspect he’ll extend for around $6M-6.5M per unless he ends up on pp1 next to Hughes

You actually know nothing about hockey if you think Hronek is going to ask for $8M+ at his current pace.So nothing to refute my point. Exactly what I expected from you.
Of course the guy who plays 22 mins a night is only considered a "PP QB".No, we did not need another small, offensive defensive and you are insane if you think a PP QB was a need here.

His age fits in with the rest of our core players...EP is only a year younger...They will all grow /deteriorate together.OK...I can now speak...after 4 hours of being speechless.
This is such a "make me look good now" move by the GM it's unbelievable. Nothing personal to Hronek but this move makes no sense if the team intends to be competitive long term. The only thing this does is guarantee a middling, playoff bubble team for the next half decade. Do they really think this guy is the next coming of Victor Hedman? If it turns out that way I'll stand corrected.

Only Canucks fans man...
Agreed..although Chychrun is a LHD.Ott didn’t give up much more for Chychrun.
Honestly.
Fire Allvin and Rutherford. Useless idiots.
m2b esqueTheres zero chance they would draft a 25 year old
He can play the right side as well though.Agreed..although Chychrun is a LHD.
From what I’ve read on the the athletic around the time Serg signed, Tampa operates uniquely, they get their guys to sign under market value for RFA year contracts with the understanding that theyll bend over a bit for the player on UFA years.40~ points and 22 min/game landed Serg an $8.5M extension and that’s without the right shot premium. Unless Hronek’s production drops significantly next season, he’ll be looking at $7.5M minimum on a longterm extension at 26 years old. Hell, Allvin might extend him this offseason.
