I agree with your overall take.I would pass on Hronek at over 7.5 and I wouldn’t sign Zadorov at all. He’s not signing anything reasonable. Lot of miles.
I‘m putting a lot of stock into if Hronek sits this week. If he does, he’s not hitting 50 points. And being content with that means he’s okay shaving a few hundred k off his next deal.
And if he plays 25 minutes in each game, squeezing every penny means he’s not in Vancouver next year.
I already have a guess that VAN’s blueline has Tanev, Dillon, and Juulsen taking Myers, Zadorov, and Cole’s spots next year.
I’m not concerned with this management’s ability to identify the right fits and get them signed at fair deals
I do think though that they will likely bring back Myers and on a cheaper deal. I was one of his biggest critics last year, but he's been very steady and solid this year. I don't know why our fans keep going after him. He's been more physical, and has handled the puck a lot better in transition too. I could do without the stupid penalties, but noone is perfect.
I also would love if we could get Dillon. A friend of mine has met him several times for youth hockey stuff, and says he is complete class and great person.
I wouldn't even be opposed to bringing Cole back with regular maintenance off games. I think he's been underrated addition on our blueline.
