Who’s paying for this exorbitant cap jump over the next 5 years? It sure as hell isn’t the tv deals. Just keep jamming the public up for more money every year? It’s a gate driven league. The economy is in the shittter, interest rates got jacked up too quickly. Inflation is up the ass.
As for Hronek: Stay in the ballpark of the Devon Toews deal. Within a couple or three hundred grand annually. Toews is a more well rounded player. If he doesn’t like it, he’s got great trade value. Then you get a couple kids or picks and spend the money on anther player with the savings. He’s a good player but he’s not going to write his own ticket.
I like the pairing and they do tilt the ice. I do worry though the playoffs is a different beast and having a 175 pound guy and a 195 pound guy playing 26 min a night against gorillas with the rules loosened up may not go so well for them. Let’s see how it goes.
If necessary they will get a good haul if he wants something starting with an 8 annually. Let’s see how he does in big boy games.
