Frank Seravalli on why Hronek didn't get $8M;

Should the Canucks go all in on Jake Guentzel or should they spread the money around in free agency? Matt and Blake discuss the most prudent path to keeping the Canucks near the top of the NHL's pecking order. Daily Faceoff's NHL insider Frank Seravalli stops by to explain Canucks' off-season path of landing a big free-agent winger to play with Elias Pettersson. Can they bring back Nikita Zadorov if they're able to move out Ilya Mikheyev? Frank walks us through it all while taking ownership for saying Filip Hronek would command $8 million per season. Frank also notes that a potential offer sheet involving a young Canuck has been floated about in NHL circles.

I'm shocked, Frank was wrong.

[@dwh58]

Seravalli is an American homer. Doesn`t like Vancouver people, says he likes Edmonton people better, then says there is nothing to do in Edmonton. Then says Florida will win Friday because Florida looked good in game five. Stay in the USA Frank, its so much better, please stay there.

[@Browser155]

He was referencing the Zadorov quote

[@masonm3454]

He's such an arrogant putz

[@rv2167]

Servalli is wrong quite a bit and is salty about it

[@EricN604]

Frank being wrong on a video where he admits he was wrong kinda made my day. I've been saying he's a bad hockey analyst for a long time. Also him giving Hronek too much credit for Hughes progression is also a rough take.

[@dleukefeld]

I call bullshit on this narrative that Hronek is a major contributor to Quinn Hughes winning the Norris trophy. Seravalli has consistently given Hronek a lot of credit for making Hughes a Norris calibre defenceman. He had 76 points last year with a +15 rating. He received Norris trophy votes last year as a 22/23 year old. It is accepted by everyone in hockey that a defenceman doesn't reach his peak until 25-27 years old. He's winning the Norris because he's that damn good. And every season he gets better and better. He has made all of his defence partners look better than they really are - Luke Schenn anyone. Another L for Seravalli

[@grangerjung4129]

Agree. If Tanev was Quinn's partner, the Norris might have been won last year as well as this year.

[@tolman33]

Lol if Tanev was his partner this year he would have had less pts guaranteed

[@huhwhathuhwhat525]

I hate the way frank pronounces words 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@greydeplume]

Frank is a "blow in" ... goes with the weather .. so now it's the Oilers ... next... zero interest in his arrogant opinion any longer ... Frank. get over yourself. Pull your head in. etc...

[@PaladinsofGaia]

Ya his dogs on fans etc. he tries to pass of as blue collar and shame the people of Van. I just find him annoying now...

[@mcloggerton9185]

This didnt age well.

[@user-ld6wo4rv8h]

Gentzel is 29. He’s got 2 good years left. Don’t sign him to 7. That’s ridiculous.

[@dragon-ir8te]

Miller is 30 too. might as well go all in. team will be shit in 4-5 years

[@rubberduckie5518]

Miller will be good until 35. Guentzel throw him 65mill and he might not care about hockey anymore.

[@user-ld6wo4rv8h]

@@rubberduckie5518 I can’t stand the 7-8 year contracts. The max should be 5 in the next CBA. Almost every player that signs for 7-8 years becomes lazy and fat.

[@AtomSplittingScience]

Mikheyev doesn’t hurt the team at all and his puck luck has to turn around eventually. His contract is good for Vancouver’s cap as well. I just feel like if we trade him he is going to pop off wherever he goes.

[@jonasmichaelmoir9378]

I honestly don't understand why Joshua isn't a priority for depth with Garland and Blueger centering.? Seems like a perfect fit,...

[@darrenbc6751]

@jonasmichaelmoir9378 Cuz he's trying for 4 mil on the open market. He was great this year, helluva player but they can't pay him that, atleast not with term. The only chance they have with him is to convince him to take a 2 yr deal, score 25 playing with Petey or Miller and get a 7 yr deal when the cap is way up in 2 yrs. But Joshua is going to the market imo. Late bloomer, never made a lot of $.. This could be his only chance

[@riot121212]

players like joshua are a dime a dozen

[@TheLivewire18]

@@riot121212No they’re not. Impact powerforwards that can score, defend, special teams, take draws, etc etc are very rare in todays game

[@jeffmill6683]

What Frank isn't saying is that Edmonton has been only been lucky by scoring the 1st goal in their come back. If FL scores 1st the series is over.

[@phlou65]

Frank the tank. 😂

[@KuldipGillDigitalMarketer]

That didn't age well.

[@cryptohalloffame]

I thought the Oilers coulda won game 1 by five or six goals, so not too surprised with these results

[@randypattie9524]

So a lot if guys may be offer sheet candidates in the NHL in the next few weeks, but i don't think that a backup goalie, no matter how promising, is gonna be one of them. Besides, if the number is too big, the Canucks will say; fine, give us the picks, and we'll pick up another goalie.

[@hookstreet.]

Oilers winning tonight just forced the hand for the Canucks in going for Guentzel.

[@DonBrodkaJr]

Not the only thing he's eating by the looks of things! 🙄

[@CoryWowk]

Uncalled for.

[@DonBrodkaJr]

@@CoryWowk Not really.. The guy wants to insult the fanbase like he chose to do.. I simply send an insult back! I'd happily tell him to his face.

[@garethcox5252]

Frank has a great job I’m jealous

[@HodgeySYL81]

No way Vancouver lets Silovs go

[@christhornycroft3686]

As a Canucks fan, I'm embarrassed of a lot of the fan base. I listened to Neil MacRae bury the Canucks on CKNW radio and elsewhere throughout the 90s. He was the guy telling us the truth we didn't want to hear. Compared to Neil, Frank is a princess. I miss the 90s. What Frank is saying now would be just another day back then.

[@dtrain9911]

You are a fake fan then lol

[@dwaynecroy8117]

Edmonton beat us by running Hughes and hronek over

[@BobSaxon-ou7ww]

I still they over paid him by a million

[@nabatron21]

Frank looks like he is in his 50s for a 36 year old yikes!

[@ChrisMay-mw4cy]

4 million snags Silovs on an offer sheet.

Hey all you whinny Vancouver fans I’m going to game 7 to watch McDavid hoist the cup something Vancouver will never do. Move the team

[@jamiereid7428]

lol move the team? I appreciate the attempt but that’s a weak troll. Ive been quietly routing for Edmonton since they beat us in a tight 7 game series anyways. I’d rather lose to the best team.

[@glennelliott708]

Is there no sports radio in Edmonton so that you have to follow Vancouver radio?

[@George-tf8js]

Get a hobby pal

[@Bbbbbvggtttttfcdeeww]

Are you whinny excuses fans still upset Edmonton dusted your sissy team

Waste of money, I got Florida in 7.
