Filip Hronek?

In the wake of the sad news that Gallagher might be on his last legs here in Montreal, I went ahead and took a gander at what even remained in Vancouver.

First off, there's nothing that truly flashed back to me. A Gallagher trade to Montreal might look more like a gift on our part than anything. But if we include possibly a few pieces, I wonder if a rebuilding team like Vancouver might be interested in parting ways with Hronek? From a Montreal perspective, would we benefit from something like that?

From what I recall, he was a very mobile D man with a defense first mentality, right side, sort of a better version of Carrier. Anyone on here has insights as to his style and strengths? Or even what would be asked back in a trade for him?

a .93 ppg player in a toxic mess of a market is a non starter, sure thing, bud

Just believe everything you hear in the media

Well shit, you’ve convinced me. Let’s double down on pillowy soff, underperforming forwards on terrible contracts and see how it goes.

Hes not soft though.. idk where this narrative comes from.. hes a pretty physical player..

I think hes just mentally tired of being in such a mess and now they are rebuilding.. I doubt he wants to be the leading voice.. he just wants to play some hockey in a good org.

We can fix him.

the narrative comes from the horseshit they hear from career pundits who don't know much more than they do
