Anaheim declines, Filip Hronek isn't a Pat Verbeek kind of Dman, he's like Yzerman and loves his Dmen as big and rugged. And that offer isn't close for both R Strome and F Vatrabo.

I won't argue on fit but holy overpayment by Vancouver Hronek is a 26 year old 2/3 Defenceman no matter how you look at him. Garland is a 28 year old middle six. Vatrano had a great year (at 30) last year but has 1 30 goal and 2 20 goals years in his career and Strome is a 31 year old and a fine 3rd line C.

comes down to need, not an assessment on production or skill. Hronek simply isnt a fit in anaheim, therefore, his value in their eyes is lower. Value in vancouvers eyes is higher, cause he had a great season. The trade however, just isnt a fit. Hence, why both sides see the value as being off

Terrible trade for the Canucks

Hronek > Vatrano
Garland > Strome
1st >>>>>> nothing

This is an OEL level trade.
