Excellent. Always good to add young depth. We’ve done well with some college free agents in the past.
Good get.
#CORRECTION:
Canucks edited their [tweet](https://twitter.com/canucks/status/1641133650262753281?s=46&t=7fabqgtgp69dNA1d51vxFw) saying it’s a **one-year** contract, not two. Hirose is an RFA at the end of the season, his qualifying offer is $897k.

> 22-23 deal at 855K over 82,500 w 95K

Even if he just ends up being a top pair AHLer that’s still good for free
But the scout on Canucks Talk liked him better than Malinski and just below Livingstone so hopefully there’s some upside there.
Very nice
Nice
What’s the scouting and ceiling on him?
Weird that it’s only for this year. It’ll be fun watching him though. He’ll have to play his ass off now if he’s essentially fighting for a contract for next year
Hirose-Hronek d pair.
Nickname ideas.
W I love that this management is actually taking development seriously
