Don't hate it. Hronek is a great RHD. Just... I was excited about those picks hahaha.

Yeah, but really we would be hoping to pick a RHD of Hroneks caliber. and picking up D in the first round is always a gamble (Juoelevi)

remember when seider was supposed to go like 19? and detroit picked him way earlier?

 

as it stands, canucks 1st will be 3-10 with the Isles being 13-32.

 

Would you be happy if the Canucks used their 1st on Reinbacher or the other RHD ? their supposed to go 14-28.

 

both rhd will likely be gone before the Isles pick.

 

Okay. Now I will reiterate, what happens if the Islanders keep their pick this year and next season that is third overall?

My initial take is that I'm not thrilled with this move. I hate giving up high picks and now we're out both a 1st and a 2nd. 

 

Another management group that talks about wanting to acquire picks who turns around and flips them out, the more things change the more they stay the same. 

 

But we'll see where we stand after the deadline, after the draft, and going into next season's camp. But yeah, not thrilled right now as he's not even a defensive specialist and our inability to stop teams from scoring goals is what's really done us in this season. 

 

Hopefully there's more coming.

I dont hate it but hard to like given what we gave up. Only thing I can assume is management knows something we dont - possibly other deals where we recoup these picks? Lets all hope

Kind of numb saying bye to that NYI 1st, and the 2nd. Don't know much about Hronek. Is this good for VAN?

 

Hughes - Hronek

Won't be, and shouldn't be Hughes-Hronek.  Would be a defensive disaster.

 

Now if we have:

 

Hughes-?????

?????-Hronek

 

That's a bonafide top 4.  Problem is, there's 2 holes there.  Both need to be defensive defencemen.  Provorov on that 2nd pair would be fantastic.
