That’s pretty terrible but I’ll admit I know little about Hronek

As a wings fan Detroit doesnt really need more wingers, even though Kapanen is good. I look at it as a 2nd for Glendening (which is probably right around his value) so then its Hronek for Kapanen straight up. The wings need D and Hronek is a top(ish) D prospect and they dont really need wingers. But I think Kapanens value is probably a little higher than Hroneks.
Value wise it might make sense but I'm not sure it makes sense for either team. Kapanen could be used to acquire a more proven, ready Dman and the wings need D not wingers. Hronek is the calibre of prospect that could end up worth it for Kapanen but obviously hes more of a question mark

Kappy is going nowhere.
Just scratching the surface of his talent so far this year.
His speed makes teams pay and he can do it all.
Unless it is in a package for a bona-fide 1-2 D he has a long future as a leaf
Then you shouldn't say it's terrible.
Watch Hronek play. On skill and value alone, he brings the same as Kappy in a different position.
He's an upgrade on Hainsey now.

Detroit adds a middle 6 winger, which they have a surplus of, and gives up one of their talented young D-men, which they lack.
BRILLIANT!
BRILLIANT!

"Wanna go, Prettyboy?"
How can you say it's terrible if you're clueless about one of the players in the deal?
I really like Kapanen, but this is an easy pass and a poorly thought out proposal. Hronek is untouchable for anything less than a better defenseman.

By this time next year you'll know all about him whether you want to or not.

Offered and lost
Don't shit on the guy for admitting he doesn't know something, Lord knows that happens very rarely on here, where we all watch 300+ games a season.

Hronek showing some nice potential but just breaking in and still a bit error prone atp, probably not a guy the Leafs would be looking at to improve their backend the rest of this season and in the playoffs. Seems like good value trade for the Wings on the surface but there are somewhat high expectations for Hronek and makes little sense looking at organizational need. Wings politely decline and I'm sure the Leafs do as well.
The Leafs don't need young D-men who we have to break in at the NHL level (he's looked good but its 23 games). This trade makes almost no sense for the Leafs. If we are parting with assets like this, it needs to be for a long-term RHD who can immediately be plugged in next to Rielly. If we can't get that for this package (which is a fair opinion), we don't sell it for a young guy who we hope develops into that role, we just hold firm.
While Babs likes Glendening, I'm not sure paying our 4th line center 1.8m for the next 3 years is ideal with how we have to maneuver the cap.
Now, considering the Red Wings D, I also don't see them too intrigued on moving one of Cholowski or Hronek for anything but a dramatic overpayment. So, while not "untouchable" they are highly unlikely to be moved, especially in a package that doesn't return a mid-20's D man of higher stature (for example, I could see them in packages to land a Parayko).
