Finding competent defensemen in the NHL is an arduous task. Finding one that shoots right-handed, well that is like finding a needle in a haystack! Needless to say, it is a bit of a surprise to see that Filip Hronek is on the trade market. In this video, I will explore the connection between Hronek and the Carolina Hurricanes.

What would you do with Filip Hronek?
GET Necas!
Trade Hronek for Necas ++,sign Zadorov and Myers for the backend!
Honestly if hronek is asking more then 7mil, then trading him for a top 6 winger for petterson wouldnt be a bad idea
Have to sign Hronek. Not only is he a perfect fit with the Canuck's current captain, they gave up thier old captain to get him.
I would take Kotkaniemi if they take back Mikayev
I think if he’s asking for 8M (which he reportedly is), you at least have to consider a trade for Necas right? Sure he had a bit of a down year but he’s only 1 year removed from a 71 point season. Not only that but the main reason Canes fans don’t want to trade him is because he doesn’t get top 6 minutes and is still able to produce at the rate he does. I think if given the right opportunity he can easily be a consistent 70+ point guy.
In terms of losing Hronek, obviously it creates an arguably larger whole in the lineup but if you’re looking for a partner for Hughes, all you really need is a guy who can consistently break the puck out and is a stay at home kind of defender. Hronek’s numbers were probably inflated quite a bit playing with Hughes and he wasn’t even that great defensively. He has also shown that he can’t carry his own pairing which for the money he’s asking for should be a given. I think they maybe go for a bit of an underrated stopgap at least for the next 2 years like Matt Roy. I don’t think you lock up a big name like Pesce long term since Willander will hopefully be able to step in sometime the next 2-3 yrs.
I just think that when you only have 3 true top 6 quality forwards you have to at least consider shoring that up. Watching Necas play i honestly think he’d be a great winger for Petey. He’s fast, can shoot, and is super creative but just doesn’t quite fit into the Canes system.
And no to KK. Guys locked up for 5 more years at 5mAAV. I think he definitely has the potential to break out but he’d be playing 3C for us with Garland and whoever, in which case we already have Suter and Blueger who’ve shown to have chemistry at less than half of KK’s cap.
Toffolli and Tanev get it done. Forget Hronek 😊
Filip Hronek … price dropped severely when you only get 1 fuckin goal in the playoffs.
Hronek was exposed in the playoffs, he is too small and timid to play against the big boys. He is not worth more than 6.
and we paid…… a 1st and a 2nd for this guy on the Me-Team?

If he asks for too much they should trade him. Zadorov lindholm Joshua and maybe Myers should stay because they are asking for less money
Who wouldn't have a career year playing along side Hughes? I expected at least 10 goals with his big shot, not half of that. I trust this management to do what needs to be done and drive him to the airport.
It’s not only his over rated play it’s also he’s terrible attitude. I’ve mentioned this before elsewhere but it needs to be said again….there was a reason Detroit was ready to move on from him when the team was still in need of every kind of advantage to get back to the playoffs. If you recall he was openly upset about Seider being the obvious younger and better player to be the number one D man. This didn’t sit wel,l and nor should it have, with the Detroit top brass. And now we see a little of that crap here in YVR too.
Hronek for necas and then sign tanev. Hronek wants 8mill
Sign him to a reasonable deal or trade his rights
They need a tough D that will protect their captain, Hughes got thrown around too much in the playoffs with not much response.
Stop playing these players huge money for ONE good season.
Allvin and Rutherford have plenty of options–let them cook!
Hronek wants 7m. Zadorov wants 6m 😅
I wouldn’t want Necas. Maybe Ehlers
Hronek they should keep him give him what he wants.
If Hronek wants 8+ you need to move on. You can turn that 8 mil into Tanev and Myers without the term.
Alvin and Rutherford rebuilt that D core from a laughing stock to bordeline elite with 10 mil. They can do it again
I will never subscribe when the channel begs for it. And good god, your AI is awful, can you get a better bot to read?
With a tip of the hat to Glen Sather for this comment, You could put a fire hydrant next to Quinn Hughes & he would get 50 points …Sign Z, bring back Tanev, trade Mr Warmth for draft picks, don't worry about who plays with QH…
If the canes aren’t wiling to pay necas why the heck would they give hronek 8 million
