Confirmed with Link: [VAN/DET] Canucks acquire D Filip Hronek, 4th in ‘23 for NYI 1st (condt’l), 2023 2nd

[Bobby9]

The fact that Stevie Y did this means he just fleeced Allvin. You dont fleece Yzzerman

 

[Josepho]

Definitely think this means they aren't rolling back OEL/Myers next year.

 

[ephmrl]

brutal trade. The product of a GM falling in love with a player the same way Benning fell in love with OEL. Very Benning like with the idea of an accelerated rebuild.

The difference being Hronek is actually a good player who is still early in his prime, whereas OEL was old, injury ridden and came with one of the worst contracts in the NHL.

 

[StrictlyCommercial]

Half his points are on the PP, good luck keeping that up behind Hughes.

 

[CanucksSayEh]

Don't know anything about Hronek, would we better off taking a jab at Chychrun?

 

[Diversification]

The real question: is Hronek a good fit alongside Quinn Hughes. And if not, can he anchor a 2nd pair by himself?

If not, wow, what a self-inflicted wound.

Also massively puts us behind the 8-ball to dump salary any which way we can, and to hell with the assets surrendered to make that happen.

 

[MS]

I look forward to the NHL player > magic beans argument from the re-tool bros

If we had traded Horvat to, say, Boston and then traded Boston's 1st and our 2nd for Hronek I'd be giving this a massive thumbs-up.

But ~13 overall in this draft isn't exactly magic beans.

 

[Jay26]

Just what I had a modicum of hope we were finally going to f***ing rebuild they go and pull this shit. Hronek isn't even a bad player but what's the goddamn point of getting a 26 year old when we're nowhere close to be relevant?

Aquilini still giving marching orders on this doomed franchise.

This is the crux of it, yep.

 

[vadim sharifijanov]

at first i was like, holy wow, i didn't think you could get filip hronek for that price

then a second later, i realized, oh wait, i was thinking of moritz seider, the younger much bigger high upside guy who made hronek superfluous as their small, offensive RHD

and then very quickly, jesus a middle-third first rounder AND a second?

 

[TruKnyte]

A monkey could run this team better.

 

[BoHorvat 53]

If we really wanted to be moronic, at least go for someone like Chychrun , IIRC he can play the right side no issues.

Just way too hard to be invested in this team at the moment.

 

[rypper]

Ugh.

Also, they're definitely not moving Miller. (No matter how much of a long shot it may have been. ) this is a "we're going to try to make the playoffs next year" move.

 

[Horvat1C]

If Hronek is the long term partner for Hughes then this is absolutely worth it.

 

[SelltheTeamFrancesco]

The high second is what makes this deal terrible to me feels like an huge overpayment. The NYI pick was additional asset fine go trade it but why the Canucks second is beyond me.

 

[Nona Di Giuseppe]

The only way this is okay, is if they have a deal to acquire another 1st, or a RHD that firmly puts Hronek lower on our depth chart.

 

[clay]

Marketing trade to sell more tickets for next season.

 

[vadim sharifijanov]

tbh i have no idea, can hronek play defence?

 

[PG Canuck]

f***in idiotic trade. One step forward, eight steps back.

 

[EverTheCynic]

f*** Francesco, bloody halfwit.

 

[Baby Pettersson]

Why did we trade Schenn then if we want defenseman?

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Marketing trade to sell more tickets for next season.

Ya... that will absolutely not work. There's zero chance they can sell Hronek as a savior on defense and they just threw away two top picks.

 

[F A N]

And that's why I keep saying wait and see what the Canucks do with the Islanders' pick first before declaring that we're rebuilding.

 

[canuckking1]

The darkness at the end of the tunnel continues

 

[4th line culture]

If Hronek is the long term partner for Hughes then this is absolutely worth it.

Nope it isnt

 

[supercanuck]

For some reason, I'm really bothered by the high second round pick leaving. Does Aquilini just hate 2nds or something?
