Hairy Kneel Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 (edited) 2 minutes ago, greenbean30 said: Hughes is the better player, nobody is saying that he isn't. Hronek is a #2 d-man, Hughes did not make him into that, he's been trending towards that since he came into the league. Well he didn't do much trending in the playoffs He was MIA Edited June 3 by Hairy Kneel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure Myers next contract will be less but you are severely undervaluing how GM's and Teams value young RHD Then another gm can over value him and make a deal for him. Obviously the Canucks only value him at $6.5m and that was months ago, ill bet their offer has gone down since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hronek freed him up, created the mobility to make opposition off balance, creating more holes. That's why they were so successful. They fed off each other.

That's what they offered for the first discussion, you never offer your max as the employer, just like you never ask for your minimum when you counter as the employee. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this management group offers what they value a player at. Not a lot of low balling with this group, imo. If they were low balling him, the offer would have gone higher, but it didnt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I personally think Hughes having a bigger RHD playing with him would be better. They have problems controlling the boards under heavy forecheck because both of them are smaller. Not saying Z, Soucy or Myers can be slotted in, but ideally a larger more physical D-man who is a fit with Hughes is a better solution. But finding that D is tough... and do you give up a existing partnership that does work pretty well... in favour of bringing in a new guy who maybe works?
