We traded 2 picks ASP might not the best asset in the Canucks side it’s the fact that we trade these picks and wonder why we have nothing in the cupboard. Lol
We got fleeeced but not that bad those picks will be great players but hronek will help the right side a lot so not as bad and we do need a puck moving d man on the second pair so I guess it’s fine but throwing away picks like this has been Canucks motto and it’s never worked maybe this time it’ll be different but from experience I’ve seen us make these trades to soon if we waited to get hronek would’ve been better could’ve gained some cap and grabbed him
It’s still WAY to early to tell who “won” the trade. You keep saying Hronek is NHL ready and while that’s true you still don’t really know how he’s going to mesh with Vancouver in a full season.. or how good Pelikka is going to be
As wings fan. We finally having a farm system under yzerman its amazing, yeah they are. young and take time to develop. But hornek is overhyped, yeah he is steady but not flashy. Wings need room for young guys and need more young talent in development. Canuck are same ole wanna stay on fringe. So win win. But yzerman fleeced a 1st round pick. Don’t answer the phone when he calls
ASP will need a few years to become NHL ready. Hronek is a top 3 defenseman who will improve the team now. I figure nearly everything the Canucks have done lately has the motivation of making Petey want to re-sign with us. Put a bad team around him and he's walking. EVERYTHING is about Petey staying, and I'm all for it.
It’s a Benning-esque trade. Sacrificing the future for the here and now. Teams that have made the playoffs once in the last 8 years should have a good farm system yet we don’t. So what do we do? Trade a 1st and 2nd. Yeah yeah the core is in their prime but if so many high draft picks weren’t traded away, they could have been here now, helping this core. We should have come away with Wallinder and Pellika this year instead we came away with 1 high end prospect instead of 3.
We don't know the future. There is no guarantee that a 25 year old guy that is "proven" to be NHLers will still be NHLer by 30. I mean, look at OEL and Myers. But yes, young prospects often doesn't work out neither. We are just trusting in our scouts. We will have to see how Hronek does with the Canucks.
Would have better defensive play from a traffic cone over Hronek. So many times did I see him cough up the puck in Det.
This was the question I asked at the draft. I'm thinking no
As a wings fan I’m happy a younger cheaper hopefully/ probably better player in the same spot and another pick that I like too
Proof is in the pudding. He has not played healthy for us and remains to be seen. Until he plays a season for us we will not know. Pure speculation at this point.They want to win now. I am not completly sold on him. He is going to have to be pretty good for this to be good for us. Not unless the fans want to watch another futile season. We could get more picks. He is the guy who is supposed to take us to the Promised Land. And it usually takes 200- 250 games for a young defensemen to get good. So some of these players would not be able to fully contribute for 6 years.
Please look back at the mantha trade!!!!
As of now…. no
Just think of the Zadina case, there's a reason you call them prospects instead of pro. It's like a lottery which may look promising but not hit the ceiling.
Hronek and ASP are comparable players. Once the Canucks committed to Miller, acquiring players who are ready to be good now was the only real path open to them.
I love how everyone counts ASP as if hes a top 4 dman. Watch him not even make the nhl because theres a very good chance he wont.
ASP Has the potential to become an absolute offensive force as a D wayyy better than Hronek his ceiling is really high honestly
I feel like us Red Wings fans kinda just don't care about him somewhat forgot about him already😅
# Replaceable
We won’t until like 4 years…
Remember that episode of family guy where Peter won a boat but he has an option of trading for mystery box which he reply, “mystery box could be anything. It even could be a boat!” Yeah let that sink for a bit!
Did the Red Wings get a second round pick from Vancouver? Was it one of the top goalie in the draft Trey Austin? If this is the case, then yes I would of made the trade and I think it was fair on both sides.
Pekkala? Bad trade so far and we felled 11 picked after 44 points on pace top 5 canucks Don't know How to get top 5 picked mediocre team
Imagined 2 swedes willander and pekkala
Time to make the playoffs. A kid won't help for five or six years. Top-three RHD to help out the goalies,. QH and EP are likely happy and they mean more than a lottery ticket.
I kind of like it if Ghost performs well
1st round picks are like gold. If they land, you have a player for 3 years at ELC. I’ve never heard of a successful team trading a 1st round pick when they’re not even a playoff team. Wait – I have. The California Golden Seals traded a pick that became hall of gamer Guy Fricking Lafleur in 1971 for (wait for it) Ernie Hicke and a pick that became Chris Oddleifson (who later played in Vancouver). The Seals were a bottom feeder at the time and haven’t existed since they moved to New Jersey. Good job, Canucks, for being compared to a team so badly run that they merged with the Cleveland Barons and moved to East Rutherford and were known as the Mickey Mouse Club by Wayne Gretzky.
petty and hughes are not staying for a rebuild if we suck again next year they will most likely walk/request trades. This is helping us now and in our worst area defense. This along with free agency will hopefully help the team be good enough to make them want to stay.
I use the Canucks in nhl23 and I really like hronek.
Pelinka could be like Hughes, that’s great for offensive and scary for their defense. Minus all the way….
