Confirmed Trade: [VAN/DET] Filip Hronek and 2023 4th round pick for 2023 NYI 1st round pick and 2023 2nd round pick

[Voight]

That seems like about as random of a trade as it could possibly be?
Why is Detroit trading him and why are the Canucks trading for him?

We have officially reached the twilight zone.

Hughes-Hronek gonna be a disaster. Hope that isn’t the plan…

 

[gilfaizon]

That is a LOT for Hronek hahahah

 

[innitfam]

Oh my God. Why???

This

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Because Vancouver shouldn't be trading 1st round picks.

Well it's the Islanders pick, not theirs, but still..

 

[dbaz]

dumb by canucks

 

[Sharkz4Fun]

I can't believe Vancouver traded a top 16 pick AND a second for Hronek. WOW.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Aint no way Vancouver's GM is sober at this moment.

 

[Pavels Dog]

I'm kinda shocked, but I think this is a good move.

Hronek is a solid d-man, but he was overachieving this season. His value was likely never going to be higher. Defensively he's a real mixed bag and doesn't fit Yzerman's profile (size+skating). Wings are also really strong on defensive prospects.

Very interesting to see if Yzerman is doing this to keep the picks or make more moves.

Gross

 

[FlameChampion]

Kind of a move that doesnt make sense for either team.

Wtf are Canucks doing

Being the Canucks, they will always be the Canucks.....................ALWAYS

 

[Boondock]

I don't like the price, but I like the 25 year old RHD. So we paid a premium at the deadline - not sure I like the timing of this by the Canucks management.

To anyone saying this isn't what the Canucks need.....ANY serviceable NHL defenseman is what the Canucks need - I just wish we didn't pay the TDL price premium.

 

[Chet Manley]

Detroit is going big game hunting.

 

[Voight]

Detroit going after Chychrun now?

Has to be IMO. He kind of fits their age group as they try and build a contender.

Tho it'll be ironic, given Arizona drafted him with the pick they got for taking on Datsyuks contract.

 

[Soups On]

But like... Why not trade the 1st at the draft when it's perceived value is the highest

 

[leafsfan5]

why did Detroit do this?

And why did Vancouver do this?

Why did anyone do this?

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

Hronek is good right?

 

[PunchImlach is Alive]

Let's goooooooooooooo!

 

[Ishad]

And why did Vancouver do this?

Why did anyone do this?

I am so confused right now.

 

[ThankGord]

This came out of nowhere, selling high on Hronek for sure.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Well it's the Islanders pick, not theirs, but still..

That's true but they should be collecting picks.

 

[notsocommonsense]

Jesus. Nothing against Hronek but after a couple of good small moves by Van, this is a big one in the wrong direction
