Popular Post Elias Pettersson Posted March 2 Popular Post Share Posted March 2 12 minutes ago, stawns said: The other thing is that it's been rumoured, for awhile, that Detroit wanted to move his contract. I thought the point of weaponizing cap space and taking on those contracts was to get picks and prospects back, not give them up JR/PA are weaponizing their draft picks. This is what you said you can do with picks. So that is exactly what they are doing. They preferred to get Hronek now rather than draft Reinbacher and wait 5 years for him when Petey is 30 years old. Hronek is only 1 year older than Petey, so he fits the timeline perfectly... 3 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok my definition of urgent is being forced into doing something because there is no alternative. Any team we negotiate with regarding Myers does so knowing we must trade him or else we are not cap compliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bad alice french Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 15 minutes ago, stawns said: not like Hronek is one of a kind and those picks are that much more valuable at the draft. Again, just timing for me Yeah 50/50 agree. He does fit the mold though. Seems like management are viewing the race to the end as a time to inadvertently tank while having a definitive plan and roster ready to go for next season.

Full marks to selecting those three, I was just curious what kind of trade he would of done. Would he have kept the pick or use the pick to get rid of a bad contract like he did with Loui Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we were going to trade our 1st and 2nd round picks, I am sure there are better top 4 D to choose from!!! Which ones. I'm genuinely curious.

hammertime Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Just now, BlastPast said: Very possible that this (or a comparable ) deal was not available last year. Right-side defensmen (especially young ones) are so difficult to come by and you can't count on the draft to provide them. Between this and the Bear acquisition they are at least making a concerted effort to improve that part of the roster. Hroneks not very good at defense fyi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s gonna get 7-8 mil. 7-8mil? What the hell? In what world is he worth Ekblad, Carlson and Hughes money? You say some really outlandish sh*t, but yikes.

They don't need to add right now, it makes no sense to make ths trade at this point 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coryberg Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Last summer the islanders traded the 13th overall to the Canadiens for romanov. Hronek is a much better player. I wish it was a 2025 2nd rounder but I'll be happy if we can recoup a 2nd in this draft on a boeser trade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToTellTheTruth Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 1 hour ago, Petey Castiglione said: The fact that almost everyone already hates the trade gives us more reason to be patient. I'm as disappointed as the next guy about losing the extra 1st rounder but we still have a few players to trade for picks and firmly believe we're going the flip Beau just like Stillman. Here's a glimpse of what we're getting. Hronek had a down year in 2021-22, posting 38 points and a minus-29 rating in 78 games. Overall, it’s been a bounceback campaign for Hronek. He endured a struggling 2021-22 campaign. Working in Detroit’s second pairing first with Olli Maatta and more recently alongside Ben Chiarot, However, 24 of those points were garnered by Dec. 6, including a 14-point November. More recently, Hronek was showing just six points over his past 18 games, as well as a -5 rating. His dreadful first-period giveaway in Tuesday’s 6-1 loss to the Ottawa Senators led to a backbreaking shorthanded goal by Senators forward Austin Watson Scoring Goals Assists Shots Ice Time Season Age Tm Lg GP G A PTS +/- PIM EV PP SH GW EV PP SH S S% TSA TOI ATOI FOW FOL FO% BLK HIT TK GV Awards 2022-23 25 DET NHL 60 9 29 38 8 34 5 4 0 1 17 12 0 122 7.4 245 1292 21:32 0 0 54 97 11 30 And this is with him playing with 2 very good defencemen.

flickyoursedin Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 The other Canuck scenario is getting Hronek who is obviously a decent dman help us pass win games and eventually pass a team like Philly or Montreal in the standings and watch that team win the Bedard lottery lol.
