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

[thewookie1]

10 F, 3 D and 2 G with 16mil in space. Definitely an interesting team to watch.

 

[Aashir Mallik]

Sounds about right. Seems like a textbook win-win

 

[VanillaCoke]

only four years no move clause is a w for van

 

[Nona Di Giuseppe]

Not that bad to be honest

Might be on downswing at end but at $7.25M thru deal they will get good value thru his best years

pretty much this

 

[PajamaBoy]

Montour is probably going to get this much or more and is vastly inferior.

Again, it's not really a "good or bad" deal. It's pretty fair. Pretty much on the market value exactly.

Vastly inferior is a bit much.

 

[ScottishCanuck]

RD, close to 50 points.

That’s a rare commodity. I’m ok with this at that cap hit. I don’t think we could find a replacement for him easily.

 

[GKJ]

Better win the Cup soon

 

[Peter Griffin]

Good compromise between the two sides.

 

[BWJM]

I think one thing important to realize about this signing is Hughes likely played a HUGE part in it happening.

Looks like this is who he wants to play with.

Montour's first 25 games: 7 points
Montour's next 62 games: 36 points

Hronek's first 25 games: 25 points
Hronek's next 68 games: 25 points

Hronek faded massively after an early hot streak, Montour did the opposite.

Montour should get more. Much better player.

 

[Warh1ppy]

Hroneks is only 26.5 years old?

That's actually shocking. Solid deal and with cap increases he'd be eligible over his prime for a lot of teams if they opted to move on from him towards the back half of that contract.

Well done Vancouver, that's a reasonable deal

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Seems decent.

 

[Dion TheFluff]

wow!! don't mind Rielly at 7.5 mil at all.

 

[JaegerDice]

Well, the cap is going up, I guess…

 

[krutovsdonut]

it's a bargain for first half hronek and an overpay for second half hronek. tune in next season to see which one they got.

 

[bossram]

Vastly inferior is a bit much.

No, it is not.

Montour is a train wreck defensively and even offensively he makes completely bizarre decisions in half of his puck touches. Watching him in the finals (and throughout the playoffs really) as someone with money on FLA is very frustrating. He's been getting dominated by EDM.

He's had really....one good season, that seems to have people hold his reputation higher than it should be. If he wasn't force fed PP time, the normies would all come to the conclusion he really isn't good because his raw production would be way down. IMO the Panthers PP would improve immediately with Forsling at the top rather than Montour.

 

[pockets321]

I thought he was horrible in the playoffs.

 

[viper0220]

That's about $1 million too much, but I guess it's better to have Hronek at $7.25 million over not having him at all.

I thought the fair deal with him was the same deal Weegar got in October 2022. Not terrible considering it's only $1 million a year more, but it's still a bit too much.

Hronek is younger than Weegar, so they are buying some youth years. Also the cap is going up.

Nope. You're entitled to be wrong though. I get that most people's evaluations of players come almost solely from looking at the "Points" column.

No, it is not.

Guess they're out on Zadorov now

Guess they're out on Zadorov now

Not necessarily. The talk around Vancouver is plan A is to keep Hronek, Zadorov, Myers and sign Guentzel.
Mikheyev is gone one way or the other which gives them 31.5 million in cap. Hronek 7.2, Jake 9, Zadorov 5? Myers rumoured around 2.5 is only around 24 million which still leaves them a chunk of change to add another forward.

 

[SoupNazi]

That’s…a contract.

Yeah watching Hughes and Hronek pairing vs Edmonton was like watching two kids fighting fully grown adults. Hronek seemed content at the beginning of the game and end. But to each their own. He looks average. Real analysis will happen when he isn't paired with Hughes.

 

[Canucks LB]

frank with the “ it starts with 8”

100 times in every interview

 

[Canucks LB]

Dat overpayment tho

By what 250k?

 

[Cupless44]

He makes 2 million less than Nurse LOL.

He walked into that one lol. Nurse has been the worst defenseman in the playoffs. I don't know if there is a worse contract in the NHL than paying Nurse 9.25 for the next bunch of years.
