BureBurrito Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 (edited) Did the team medical team mess up his assessment/return to the ice once again? They paid a lottery draft pick to get him and his health has to be priority. Edited March 31, 2023 by BureBurrito Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My statement clearly stated (the use of air quotes is commonly applied in modern day nomenclature to bring a sense of irony to the usage of the word) that I don't separate fans into false and real fans. From those who believe in tanking for a high pick, to the pom pom waving cheerleaders, every one of them is a fan. The only one who can truly judge a fan's fandom is that fan themselves. Squint in you need to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yzerman in his time as Tampa GM did NOT trade stud players at key positions wanted across the league unless he knew he was getting a nice return while not harming his line up. Whether it was due to redundancy, better options in the system or because he knew the player he was trading was either over performing or injured. Look at his tenure as GM in Tampa and now in Detroit. His trade history, who he traded and what happened to them after is very telling. Hronek may in fact be an absolute stud and this may be precautionary. but with our history of injured players and players with injuries I will do exactly what i said I would do when we traded him and that is wait and see if he comes back healthy and where those picks we gave Detroit land.

Canuck You Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 A lot of people mentioned that he was traded because he was damaged goods..Our new and improved medical staff sucks and it just might be that we fell victim . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon Ward Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Holy crap, what a bunch of whining. They shut him down because they want him to be fully healthy next season and this season doesn't matter. We all would make the same decision. He will be a great player.

Nuxfanabroad Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Well holy jumpin'-gee willikers..we PAID an arm & a socket for this guy! He'd better get back to 100%, or take it to The People's Court. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJockitch Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 He got his few games to she STH he is good. Shut him down, right thing to do. These games don’t matter and wins now don’t transfer to next season. Might as well sit him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They paid a lottery draft pick to get him and his health has to be priority. The Canucks have a long and sordid history with incompetence in their medical staff. That or they're easily paid off. I'll choose to be positive and since this is happening at the end of a pointless season, I'll just be happy we have him sit and know he'll be right as rain in fall. He'd better be though with what they paid for him from a stacked draft. I think they overpaid for him, but I will still reserve judgment on him until 10 games or into next season. He will have to play much much better than he's shown so far here. Looks pretty dang average to me. Like any dime a dozen 2-3 million dollar vet floating out there. I'll chalk it up to more ineptitude or corruption in our medical staff, and he was allowed to play for a few games under 100%, in order for JR and PA and Tocchet to get a gander at him now to see how he might fit in for next season. You won't last long as an NHLs teams doctor if you don't play along with dampening risk assessment if you see that your bosses really really really want a certain player back on the ice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We barely saw him for a few minutes/game and he certainly didn't look like he was worth throwing away 2 Super High Draft picks on - that we so desperately needed to restock our barren cupboards with - that have been depleted for years? He was average - at best - and looks like just another "Still-Man" type trade - so far. I sure hope he's able to play at some point in the coming years - if he ever fully recovers - and doesn't turn into permanent "Damaged-Goods" fiasco. Where was the "Due Dillegence" by JR & PA on this trade???? I disagree... Hronek looks awesome to me. Best RHD we've had in a decade... Better then Tanev IMO.

Feels that they are a bit behind teams like Buffalo and Ottawa in their rebuild and that's why he made the trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
