Typically Id agree with your assessment provided said player was #1D and was likely to be #1D for contract term. There's a good chance Hronek becomes our #3D THIS YEAR, however. And almost certain chance he's anchoring the 2nd pairing by next season. 2021: Hronek-Leddy Seider-Staal Lindstrom-Oesterle 2022: Seider-Leddy Hronek-Edvinsson Lindstrom-Johansson 2023 -: Seider-Edvinsson Hronek-Johannson Lindstrom-McIsaac I would be surprised if Hronek gets more than 5 per on a long term deal. 6 per on a short term deal wouldnt surprise me. I think he'd be smart to sign through ufa status and play his ass off. By age 26, he could be making a strong case for 8-9 mil on the open market. If Im Yzerman, Im doing my best to have the best #3 dman in the league making #3 dman money.

He has 4 RFA years left so year 5 would be his 1st UFA year. So a 7 year deal eats 4 RFA and 3 UFA years.

The market is what the market is. If you lock him up long term, it's gonna cost. If you give him a short deal now, he could command even MORE on his next contract. I think the safe bet is to lock him up now. But we'll see what happens!

He provides beer and Jägermeister to all the under age guys in both Detroit and GR.
