Depends on the number he's asking. I have the opinion that anything above $6 mill, you expect that player to anchor a D pairing.Would you like to trade or keep Hronek?
This is what I’m leaning toward, and play him a lot more on the 2nd pairing next season. Maybe pick your spots to play him with Hughes(trailing in games, close games vs playoff teams)Qualify and evaluate on a prove me deal
A buyer is giving you futures. If you are a PO team, can you do that to your roster and take a player away? Really, a decision probably needs to be made in the summer. Teams heading into PO don't plan on dealing UFAs to be come TDL.This is what I’m leaning toward, and play him a lot more on the 2nd pairing next season.

Let’s find out what player he is away from Hughes
If you don’t like him by the TDL or can’t agree on a deal, trade him. Not difficult at all to find a buyer for a RHD at the TDL.
Very true, it'd have to be similar to the Horvat-Hronek or Kuz-Lindholm scenarios.A buyer is giving you futures. If you are a PO team, can you do that to your roster and take a player away?

Trade him to maximize asset value and retain Zadorov & Lindholm imo.
Use excess assets from trade to address holes in roster after TDL. It's the only way.
You make it sound so simple.Trade because he's going to want 7+ Mill and I don't wanna offer that. Use the assets to grab a better player for cheaper.
