Filip Hronek breaks the bank in Vancouver

Negotiations between the Vancouver Canucks and defenseman Filip Hronek began following their elimination from the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Today, the Canucks and their restricted free agent reached an agreement on an 8-year extension, as reported by insider Frank Seravalli.

Filip Hronek was acquired from the Detroit Red Wings in a trade last season and spent much of this season paired with Quinn Hughes. Hughes's success while playing alongside Hronek likely influenced this decision significantly.

Heading into the 2024-25 NHL season, the Vancouver Canucks have secured many of their core players with long-term contracts and have flexibility to make further additions through free agency. We'll keep you updated on additional moves by the Canucks and other teams.
