This seems high to me but I guess I wasn’t following hronek after detroit.

And that’s why we traded him. Sure he’s a nice fit next to Hughes, but even with his hot start he’s a decent secondary assist generator who is poor in his own zone, can’t PK, and is more of a passenger on the PP than anything. Very, very glad we didn’t give him this deal.

I thought it was gonna be pricey but oof, good for him and glad we aren’t paying it lol.

Congrats on getting the bag Fil! Should be fun for him playing next to Hughes for the foreseeable future.
It’d be such an interesting timeline to look at if we picked Hughes over Zadina. So many what ifs tied to that, but have to imagine our team would look incredibly different (including no Seider/Raymond?)

I guess we’ll see how much offense is at the end of that contract because there sure as shit isn’t any actual defense.

Happy for Fil getting his bag, super happy it was not on the Wings.

Oof, that’s a cap hit that’s too high for a term that’s too long imo. The last 3 or 4 years of this deal could be rough for them. It’s basically right in line with his projected contract but giving him the 8th year and not getting the cap hit below 7 feels pretty bad to me.

I think sometimes people forget how young Hronek is(since he’s been in the league so long already), I think like most defensemen he still will round out his game a bit. I like the deal, always risk with an 8 year deal but I bet it’ll be a good one.
I think there’s going to be a lot of sticker shock at some of the deals this summer now that we are back in a period of cap growth. Boy do I just want to see the number for Mo and Ray now

Really happy for him, and really happy we didn’t sign him for that kinda term/money.

Lmao, what an outrageous overpay. Dude is a pretty average 2nd line RHD.

Steve throws almost 6 at Copp, and you people say giving a 26 year old who just had a career year and was our #1 defenseman during the god awful years before Mo got here a measly 7.2 million.
I’m glad he is playing somewhere else.
7.2 for Hronek is a bargain.
You all have crystal balls, though, so ASP is gonna be the next Karlson or Bobby Orr.

Well if he can duplicate this past season- or improve on it- then it’s a good deal for both parties. If Hronek’s production falls off then the Canucks made a bad deal. Hronek had pretty much a career year.
