Filip Hronek Inks 8-Year Deal with Vancouver, Strengthening Canucks' Defense
Tuesday, June 18th, 2024
The Vancouver Canucks have extended Filip Hronek's contract for eight years, securing him with an annual salary of $7.25 million.
Hronek was instrumental in the Canucks' playoff run, creating a strong defensive partnership with Quinn Hughes.
The Canucks traded for Hronek from the Detroit Red Wings as part of general manager Patrik Allvin's plan to improve the team's defense.
With Hronek and Hughes both healthy, the Canucks performed well in the early season.
Allvin further bolstered the defense by adding Nikita Zadorov and Elias Lindholm, leading to a successful season and a Pacific Division title.
Hronek is among four key restricted or unrestricted free agents and plays a significant role in the team's offseason planning.
The Canucks must navigate tough choices regarding their eight unrestricted free agents, such as Cole, Lindholm, Zadorov, and Myers, due to limited cap space.
Hronek's contract extension solidifies the Canucks' defensive lineup for the next season.
