Star player set to walk in free agency after crazy contract demands
Certain Vancouver Canucks players are set to walk after making some outrageous contract demands.
With the Vancouver Canucks offseason officially starting today after being eliminated by the Edmonton Oilers, GM Patrik Allvin has his work cut out for himself this offseason.
Many expectations were low for the Canucks as they headed into this year, but they managed to pull through and make it to the second round after eliminating the Nashville Predators in six games.
However the Canucks were eliminated by the Edmonton Oilers in the second round in game seven, despite a very close series.
Many of the Canucks big contracts are coming to an end this offseason, most of the big names that are set to become free agents come from the defensive end, including Filip Hronek, Nikita Zadorov, Tyler Myers and Ian Cole.
Along with many solid offensive players like, Elias Lindholm, Dakota Joshua, Teddy Blueger and Sam Lafferty who are all set to become free agents. With Hronek being the only RFA, meaning the Canucks own his rights and he can't walk.
According to recent reports Filip Hronek seems to be the least prioritized as it comes to free agency.
Canucks insider Rick Dhaliwal claims Hronek is looking to get $8 million pre season on a long-term deal. After only making a name for himself this year, as he played along side Quinn Hughes, it would be a great risk to sign him $8 million a year.
Rick Dhaliwal broke down what the Vancouver Canucks seem to have in mind when it comes to prioritizing:
Where does that leave the defense?
More from Dhali:
Dhaliwal says Blueger should be resigned and that all indications are he'll come back in 2024-25.
As for Hronek... any this is possible. The Canucks can sign him. They can retain his rights and negotiate the entire offseason or they can trade him for other assets.
