Frank Seravalli on Martin Necas in Vancouver, Canes’ D, Canucks keeping Hronek, replacing Joshua,

Daily Faceoff’s Frank Seravallli stops by to reveal he doesn’t think the Canucks will likely win the Martin Necas sweepstakes (but adds that Brett Pesce will get to July 1), plus his latest temperature check on the Flip Hronek negotiations, and the future of Boeser and Garland on the Canucks' wings.

Can you believe that Frank is 13 years younger than the other two guys?

[@dallynlot7670]

Good interview, but when frank talked about Quinn hughes not getting the Norris without hronek, I personally don't think that's true, he was this good before hronek. Every player you put with hughes is instantly better, hronek had a good year because of hughes. I would love to keep him but wouldn't you trade him if you could get a top 6 winger, which we need more than any other position.

[@semiwindup]

I'm picking up a certain douche factor in this interview.

[@G_Ellis606]

That is putting it politely. Frank is the hockey expert of all the "experts".

[@EricN604]

He's got that Gary Bettman level smugness lol

[@engg84]

It's because he's willing to tell the truth unlike the Vancouver-based sycophants

[@rfruss]

Hronek may have helped Quinn to receive a Norris but he never helped him get further in the playoffs.

[@Clone42]

We're going to need a bigger bag.

[@engg84]

Frank is the only person they allow on this show willing to tell the truth about the choking Canucks. How soon until they cancel him like they tried with Gazdic? 🤣

[@gordonmacdowell8117]

I miss Chatfield as a Canuck. It was strange on a team with a terrible blueline that such a responsible defenceman couldn't find a home, but at the time they wanted every defenceman to be a dynamic join the rush kind of guy, despite most of the ones they had at the time not being great skaters.

[@Bp79-or4kp]

Has Frank ever got anything right? It's really obvious that someone pissed him off in Vancouver because you can feel the disdain whenever he talks about them. He keeps saying how all these guys are gone because of the cap, yet after a Mikheyev buyout they have 28 million in cap. So the simple fact is they can't sign all 9 guys but they can absolutely re-sign any combo of them based on who they see ad a priority. Lindholm 6.5-7 Hronek - 7-8 Myers. - 2 Still leaves them with 10-12 million to add a top six winger and a bottom pairing dman . That's just one option, you can trade Hronek sign Tanev and save another 5 million for Zadorov which leaves 10-12 million to really add to the top six. You could then use Hronek assets for a Necas or Ehlers and sign Toffoli. There's also Raty, Lekkerimakki, Podkolzin, that likely join the team and in Podz case an expanded role. Necas 7 million Lindholm 7 million Zadorov 5 million Toffoli 4 million Tanev 3 million Myers 2 million. 28 million total Boeser - JT - Podz Toffoli - EP - Necas Hogz - Lindy - Garland Raty - Suter Karlson Hughes - Tanev Soucy - Myers Zadorov Juulson Demko -Silovs. Tanev, Myers and Zadorov would trade term for less AAV to keep cap hit down and would likely agree to it based on their known desire to stay or return in Tanevs case. Same with Toffoli. Vancouver has always been a players preferred destination and the success of this season is huge for that. Suter can also be moved and replaced internally Aman, Lekkerimakki, etc to save 1.5 million. Bottom line this lineup while younger is far better on paper and took five minutes to create. The dollar amounts are all within what those guys likely get unless they choose short deals on shitty teams but since all those guys are older and all want to win, fit and term is likely more important. Tanev could get 4 somewhere else but hes a guy along with Myers who I think would take a bit of a discount especially if an extra year is added. Toffoli loved it here so did his wife and was a great fit. He's also moved 5 times in 3 years, so again term and fit matters. Lastly and this would be risky and not ideal but Garland could be traded to free up 5 million and you bank on Lekkerimakki having a smooth transition without going to Abby much like EP and others do all the time.

[@manav40181]

No Mikheyev buyout coming....

[@free5sole]

Uhh thinking that they will buyout another contract after the OEL one is Very wishful thinking to begin with and the start of your problem

[@murrayreid]

Have a question guys ,I was looking at cap friendly ad just had a thought,would the Canucks through about rfas next yr where j Hugh’s is a RFA.is there a chance they could go for it.

Hronek may have had a lacklustre second half and playoffs. So did most of the Canucks' roster. He was the only significant difference from last year, prior to the deadline acquisitions. Unfortunately, his minimum arbitration is $7.5 million per season.

[@phlou65]

Frank the tank.

[@sterlingmork2974]

The Canucks could easily trade Hronek for the 1st round pick the Canes would want and do a 3 team deal if they wanted. Personally with Demko in net I absolutely sign Hronek and Tanev for the right side and Zadorov and Hughes making the Canucks extremely strong defensively. When Willander, D EP, Kudryavtsev... are ready you can ease them in with with vets helping them along.

[@brucealexanderwhite7455]

Curious if Frank is gonna acknowledge his “whoever wins in the Oil/Van series is gonna have their lunch handed to them by Dallas” comment??? What a gimp

[@aberightmire149]

Hronek is an RFA

[@91junglecat52]

Not always the biggest fan of Severvalli, he can seem to carry a mission letter and or a planted message , but no doubt about it, he is knowledgeable and thinks logically, he is a very good talking head for the podcast.

[@Smokes_40]

He should be introduced as NHL Insider and Vancouver hater

[@chrisjordan213]

After last week I’m not sure if Franks a fan of these two

[@rfruss]

Let Joshua walk. As the playoffs went on the worse he played.

[@mosey4650]

he took 4-6 really, really bone headed penalties at bad times. I like him, but he is SO not worth what he is going to get

[@jdjl7223]

No one cares about seculation, rumors, and opinions of "experts." It just fuels the drama, stress, and negativity in sports markets like Vanacouver. All these online experts have actually made thjngs a ton worse for the players. Just look at the many comments from players.

[@christhornycroft3686]

Hockey has turned into pro wrestling in a lot of ways and Frank is a great heel. Highly entertaining. Doesn't tell you what you want to hear, but what he actually thinks. I appreciate that.

[@DonBrodkaJr]

@christhornycroft3686 Nah, when you break it all down, he's just a giant p.o.s!

[@JamesMartine-pu5ch]

Expect for the fact that what he thinks changes 5 times a day and depends on who he’s talking to 😂😂😂

[@carcar12468]

Why keep having this guy on the show? Especially given his obvious disdain for Vancouver and the entire Canucks org. He rarely actually speaks fact it’s just his opinion on things he doesn’t actually know about!

[@johnbraun814]

Canucks overachieved this season. At times magical. They however squandered their chance to do something very special. It was inexcusable and disappointing to learn that I care more than the actual Canuck players do. They played fraidy-cat hockey for nearly 6 periods and decided to only play the last few minutes of game 7. There is either actual collusion in the league - Rogers/ Betway. Or they don't care to show up when it actually matters. either way they lost me as fan. NHL = WWF

[@JamesMartine-pu5ch]

Insufferable

[@m_m_m_beer8917]

I'd be ok with the Canucks trading Pettersson, and soon. I don't think he is going to live up to that contract. Not now. Not in the future.

[@SleepyChateau-ul9udsleepyvjate]

There is one way van can improve keep core Lindholm zadorov. F the rest make cap space hronek can go no need me as 🤠🍻🚬😸🙃🔥🦴🙋😎
