Yeah no TB passes

The Sabres would trade Jokiharju only if they cant afford him, trading him for a dman that will cost more doesnt make much sense. They also traded for Byram and are pretty full up at d. Also also they said they want more physicality in their bottom 6 so trading Greenway is another step backwards. Trade doesnt make sense at all for Buffalo

That BUF trade is bad for the Canucks. They'll be able to get a better package for Hronek if they do decide to trade him.

That’s an awful return for Hronek

Canucks aren’t paying for Jeannot either

Idk about that- Hronek would be an upgrade for our top4

Can’t say we’d be interested in Hronek for sure, bc we are all assuming we’d be looking for more of a shutdown type guy,
but he does make us better on defense
And the $4.4mil Cap for this year isn’t expensive for what he provides

The problem would be when we have to pay him after next year- which could be another reason we’d pass on a deal like this

But again, he’d be an improvement over Jokiharju (who i don’t dislike)
And although Greenway played well for us last year,
Granato is gone now & he’s in the last year of his deal,
so i don’t think he’s untouchable anymore


And another thing about bringing in Hronek
If Byram takes a step back, or if Hronek just ends up being a better fit, then we could choose to pay Hronek & move on from Byram
Of course it would be ideal if they both worked out & we signed them both, but bringing him in does cover us a bit, and it just gives us more options moving forward


Idk that a trade like this is likely,
but i do think it’s possible

Assuming Mikheyev waives his 12 team M-NTC, which the Sharks are surely on, the Sharks will expect a pick going the their way for your cap dump, not your way.

You of all people think its likely? Why would they over pay for a 6 ft offensive dman that wouldnt have top pair minutes or PP time. Especially when they can get Jokiharju cheaper and he is just as effective in the Dzone. Hronek has also been invisible thus far in the playoffs

I think u misunderstood me
I literally said, “idk that it’s likely”
Meaning, i don’t think it is (likely)

But i do think Hronek is better defensively than Jokiharju
And (obviously) offensively as well
Hronek isn’t the “shutdown” type we probably need,
but he is a good all around defenseman

Again though- to be clear- i do not think it’s likely
