Nice timing. Grab a top prospect and 1st rounder for the draft.

Well to be honest a club controlled rfa rhd is what I’d like as a return.
Don’t see the team being nearly as successful without him
Holyshitmuffin
Sharks want him?
carry-on_replacement
If that’s the case, then we better hit a home run with the RHD in UFA on July 1st.
TotesMyGoatse
He wants too much money and too much term for someone who has yet to prove they can be a number one D man. He’s only played with a Norris candidate as a partner.
Saisinko
Great regular season player.
Wasn’t a fan of him in the playoffs.
CrayonOlympics
Well yeah, I mean he’s an RFA of course they’ll trade him rather than taking a one year deal and letting him walk if it comes to it.
I still feel like it’s more likely by a lot that he re-signs though.

I want to keep Hronek and think 7m is fair 🤷♂️
Why give up on him so easily when he’s our best player for our weakest position at a perfect age for the core?
SpectreFire
Honestly, it’s a positive sign that management isn’t budging on Hronek’s demands. He wants to be paid like a #1-2 guy, which is fine, but clearly the team thinks he’s more of a #3-4 guy away from Hughes.
His $7-$8m ask just doesn’t make sense when you look at his comparables like Krug or Severson.

Sadly there’s no way we’re as good of a team next year. Our roster was stacked with depth with all great contracts. All our RFA/UFAs will get a collective 10m raise on their next contracts wherever they sign. Add on OELs 2.35m buyout cap hit and we can’t possibly be as good on paper. Hope Hronek could maybe fetch us a 1st rder in the 20 range?

So I saw that new Mad Max movie tonight!

Something’s got to give… we’ve got too many question marks around too many players we probably can’t afford. Worse case scenario is we wait too long and people walk without getting any assets in return. Maybe we can trade back into the first or second round with some of these guys.
coltonjeffs
By this rate we are just signing Myers lol
CheesecakeOdd2087
I want to preface this by saying I trust Allvin & Rutherford a hell of a lot more than Benning, but I can’t lie, I’m a bit nervous about a “we ran out of time” type offseason here. It would just suck to lose a bunch of key guys and fall off next year. I can live with losing Lindholm, Zadorov, and Joshua, but I was really hoping they’d work something out with Hronek.
MGM-Wonder
We’re gunna have a whole new team next year bar like 7 guys
mudflaps___
This management group doesn’t really miss on their pro scouting, if they think hronek is a #3 or #4 who had a hot year, I’m going to take their word for it. Paying him with how he is in the media in this market could be a recipe for disaster as well
Far_Out_6and_2
Sounds like we won’t even make the playoffs next year if we loose all these key guys

Sadly this team is headed for a bit of a rebuild again
Horvat53
Not surprised we won’t see the same roster back. Lots of 1 year contracts or pending UFA/RFA situations and not enough cap to bring everyone back. It’ll be real interesting to see what the roster looks like next season.
nite_awol
trade him and Lindholms rights to get in the top 10 of the draft.
BlurTriX
I wonder if an Ottawa deal for Chychrun could work
dr_van_nostren
Honestly between the guys attitude and the arrogance of his agent, I kinda hope they send his ass packing. We can get someone else. He played really well for half a season. Then he was good/fine for the back half and just decent in the playoffs. At $4M I can swallow that. Not at $8.

He’s on holidays right now. I feel sorry for him
