I’m not sure what Yzerman has in mind, but we don’t have any deals longer than three years on the books. Very interesting to see what his plan is going to be.

Will be interesting to see the dollars.

Edit: previous Mackinac bridge link broke.

Not a bridge. This walks Hronek into UFA.

No one on the roster outside of Larkin is worth signing to anything longer than three years.

I don't think so... I believe it's still RFA

CF has Hronek as only having next year under team control. I know he’s in a weird spot because he didn’t have arb rights this year, so maybe I’m wrong.

Totally forgot about this...

Hronek will be an RFA with 1 year of control left after this deal.

If hes good wont matter.... i hate how everyone assumes we need to get a players rfa years and some ufa years. Hronek is okay. Yzerman will flip some of these 3 year guys and some will get re-signed down road. Replaceable players dont need massively long deals.

About time we signed our leading scorer

Hronek certainly feels like a Shattenkirk type defender to me. He's a nice piece if you can budget him into your roster but as soon as you need to make tough financial choices he's one of the first guys gone.

This should be a good deal, unless Hronek turns the corner on his defensive game, he's a 4/5 and 2nd PP guy on a good team.

 

[Electric Eric]

Going to venture a guess and say cap hit of 5Mil

Disagree. In juniors he was the best player on his team. In minors he was the leading D-Man. Internationally it's not even close, he's the best player on the team. On the Red Wings, leading scorer. If he had competent teammates and coaching on the Red Wings, he'd be knocking on 50-70 points.

 

[PajamaBoy]

70 points? Even in his wildest dreams that wouldn't happen. Competent coaching and comeptent team? Tell me do you mean connor mcdavid and prime scotty?

Some people are just completely delusional on Hronek. Like, do you have any idea how rare it is for a dman to even get 50 points in a season, let alone 70?

how about we at least split the difference and say I dunno Ryan Strome and Bob Boughner?

[lhsgolf19]

That is a really good deal

 

[golffuul]

3 years @ 4.4M I figured around 4M. Good deal. He gets a solid pay increase and still has to prove his worth with more and more quality players coming into the lineup.

He drank drug blood and now he's a wizard.

That sounds delightful.
