Marek: “He’s super.”
Friedman: “Elliotte, why are you ripping us? Why are you ripping us? We’re speaking about Hronek. That’s a horrible impression. It truly is.
Marek: “All of the anxiousness about Elias Pettersen. When that second, lastly the air went out of it. The Vancouver Canucks followers had about two seconds to take a breath after which immediately Filip Hronek. Oh no what’s gonna occur?
Friedman: “You realize, one in every of my buddy, I do know one in every of my buddies from Vancouver texted me he goes, ‘Do you assume it’s any totally different in Toronto?’ I am going, I hate it in Toronto to. Like simply you realize, this isn’t anti-Vancouver hatred. That is anti-everything. Take pleasure in your victories.
Like I believe they’re gonna signal Hronek. Like I do. Until it actually goes off the rails. Like this one must actually go off the rails for it to not occur, I believe.
And in addition to Petterson’s the large one. Now, I do assume the Canucks are going to attempt to preserve a number of of their guys. I believe they’re going to attempt to preserve Blueger. I believe they’re going to attempt to preserve Dakota Joshua. And I additionally assume that they’re going to attempt to preserve Tyler Myers at a decrease quantity. Zadorov would possibly get, somebody requested me what I considered Zadorov. I mentioned I believe he would possibly get priced out of there. In order that, we’ll see what occurs with that however I simply assume that may be too excessive a quantity for them.
Myers to me is probably the most attention-grabbing one. I believe they know the place Blueger slots in, within the basic space. I believe they know the place Joshua slots within the basic space. Myers is an attention-grabbing one as a result of I believe he’d in all probability, I believe he’d must take much less to remain. Properly he’d must take lower than what he’s making now. However he would possibly nonetheless must take a bit of bit lower than what he may get on the open market.
I do know internally, the Canucks actually like Myers and I all the time must. I believe he actually cares. I believe he actually performs exhausting. He’s from what I’ve heard, he’s a superb teammate. And, you realize, he’s imply, and I believe his teammates like that about him. He’s the sort of man who if somebody takes a run out one in every of your guys, he’ll take a run at one in every of yours. And I believe Tocchet actually appreciates that.
You realize, I, I’ve talked to individuals about him earlier than and you realize, one of many issues they do speak about, and Jim Rutherford has talked about this earlier than too I consider, is that you realize, as a result of he’s so huge when it goes mistaken, it actually seems to be mistaken. However you simply must shake that off. And I’ve simply heard they actually preferred the entire package deal there, particularly what goes on behind the scenes. And if he needs to remain, the chance goes to be there for him to remain.

In order that’s sort of the way in which I believe it seems to be. Clearly, Hronek goes to be the largest quantity out of all these however I can’t think about it’ll be a curler coaster like, like Pettersson was. And plus you realize, you realize, Vancouver has an opportunity to win the Stanley Cup this yr. Take pleasure in it.
