Why would Yzerman trade Hronek without getting a Defenseman back?

Because he trades Bertuzzi for a dman. Look at is as Bertuzzi + Hronek for Segacheve + Gurianov + 2nd

Ok I see. But there's no way Tampa makes that trade. I wish they would. 😁

LD is okay but that RD is atrocious. Bertuzzi @ 50% retained gets more than Sergachev. And we don't need Sergachev and Fowler long term when we've Edvinsson, Johansson and Wallinder coming up in the next 1-2 years. That forward core is horrendous even worse than this past season no thanks. Just made the team even worse.

Somehow Yzerman isn't trading Hronek only to sign Rutta, Talking about a major downgrade.

Ducks pass. Zadina hasn’t lived up to his hype. Rasmussen isn’t good even the Wing fans love him. And Oesterle is just a throw in. There’s just not much to that offer.

But you have to realize this was created by a Leafs fan and from the look of it was just meant to stir s*** up. Come on these trades are all off one way or another.

There isn't a snow balls chance in Tampa in July TB REMOTELY CONSIDERS THAT TRADE

Neither team does, if we move Bertuzzi Yzerman will look at bringing back a 2C not a top 4 LD that we don't need long term.

Washington declines pretty damn quickly here. Erne is completely unneeded with the current forward logjam, Hagelin is currently on LTIR, no reason to dump Samsonov especially if he only wants a 100k pay raise, and Washington would be getting more for Samsonov if they tried to deal him.
