LATEST | Transaction concluded with the Red Wings: The story behind how it went revealed
About seven months ago, Patrik Allvin took everyone by surprise when he went and acquired Filip Hronek from the Detroit Red Wings. Accepting the young right-handed shot defenceman, he adressed one of the team's most significant issues.
However, one thing that boggles the mind, is how Hronek was available if he was that good, and Frank Seravalli's latest appearance on Sekeres and Price revealed that he wasn't. Allvin called first and asked about the D-man, and Yzerman (Red Wings' GM) turned him down and said he wasn't for trade.
According to Seravalli, the Red Wings then called back, laid their ask, and said, "meet my price, and I won't be shopping him around." Good thing he didn't because mature, young right-handed shot Defensemen are a rarity in this league, and the Canucks needed it.
Through this year's first games, Hronek has collected three assists, and he's looking like a valued acquisition on this team's roster. The Canucks had offered a 1st and a 2nd Round Selection to acquire his services, so the soon-to-be 26 must be on top of things for the Canucks' sake.
