Confirmed Signing with Link: [VAN] D Filip Hronek signs extension with the Canucks (8 years, $7.25M AAV)

[Regal]

Guess they're out on Zadorov now

Could still sign him, but I would imagine so since they wouldn’t have much left for the forwards if they did

 

[Bond]

Beats Zadorov at 6x6 lol

 

[Superlative Soup]

Big Z pack your bags for Toronto

 

[Kcb12345]

Honestly not bad

 

[iFan]

damn that's a great deal... well done to our fantastic management group

 

[DistantThunderRep]

Why would he sign for that much? Doesn't he know how much taxes are in Vancouver? He should have signed in Dallas or Seattle for less but more take home.

Jokes aside, Just a tad over what I would want to pay him. But its not the worst contract. At least Vancouver has another D locked up now.

 

[Canovin]

If they can get Guentzel for under 8M, they did well

That leaves 5M for Zadorov

 

[Superlative Soup]

They still have 17 million

8 after Guentzel

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Overpaid by 1m for max term

Nice

 

[DFAC]

Not the biggest fan of the deal but if Hughes can consistently play at a Norris level when paired with Hronek then it’s a good deal for us.

Canucks have been trying to find him a partner for as long as he has been in Vancouver.

 

[KrisLetAngry]

Fair contract anything under 7.5 was acceptable.

26 year old RD was going to get paid.

 

[The Nuge]

It’s a lot like the Hanifin contract. A touch pricey for a #3, but not bad overall since it’s for his age 27-34 seasons, and the cap will be going up. It’s better than bridging him for a year or two and then really having to pay up. Or worse yet, give nearly all of that money to Zadorov

 

[Skolman]

As an Oiler fan, I approve of this deal

 

[DJJones]

Pretty much what I expected. The 8th year would have been the difference maker.

Unfortunately they didn't give the money to Zadorov

 

[Szechwan]

I don't love the contract, but people are going to need to get used to contracts going up. 7 mil is the new 6 mil

The cap is going to rise so much, by year 3 of this deal it will be equivalent to a 5m deal now

 

[StreetHawk]

People will say 'wow' but that's a decent contract for VAN in my view.

Relative to Hanifin's deal with LV, it's within the range.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

We will miss you Big Z.

 

[MarkusNaslund19]

As an Oiler fan, I approve of this deal

He makes 2 million less than Nurse LOL.

He would be UFA in 2025. So, had to get the deal done now or he'd likely walk in free agency. Pretty much as high as I thought Van would go with him.

As An Oiler fan watch out for Bouchards contract.

 

[iFan]

Overpaid by 1m for max term

Nice

I don't think he is overpaid, he's a young top pairing right handed D man. This is a good deal, I thought it would be over 8 million given the demand for right handed D man and his age.

 

[Aqualung]

Pricey for my taste

 

[krutovsdonut]

that seems like market or better than market depending on when and how bad he got injured this season.

 

[Random schmoe]

The 8.2% cap hit percentage put in context to other deals (both UFA and RFA, active players only).

(Edit: Image changed to show other fields.)

 

[Conbon]

where else was he gonna go? he was an rfa

I thought theyd look at the rough 2nd half and playoffs and decide to move him for assets and sign others.
