In regards to the ASP talk, the pick we sent them was irrelevant. ASP was still on the board and we opted to draft Willander instead. It’s possible that ASP ends up with the higher ceiling of the two, but you can’t argue that Willander isn’t a stud in his own right. He has five points in three WJC games and is on the top powerplay unit wth ASP. He’s going to be great in Vancouver.

He is far better defensively. Therefore, he may not get as many points as ASP but his +- will be much better.

@@chrisvincelli5788 They didn’t want both of them, In fact, they passed on ASP because they thought his skillset too closely resembles Hughes. If we’d had that pick back, we undoubtedly take a forward.

Pens drafted Brayden Yager and traded him for Rutger McGroarty. ASP could have been the next Letang.

Honestly think the trade was a win-win which you don't see happen very often. Usually you can say in retrospect one team got the better deal. I think ASP's ceiling is higher than Hronek, but that is going to be later down the line. Detroit still had/has a lot of issues that need to be addressed before they can start making the post season and contending, so they can wait for someone to develop when their window opens up. Vancouver needed a guy to help fix a problem right now. Hronek has done way better for them than he did for Detroit. I think the trade really turned out best for everybody.

As a Canuck and a Skellefteå AIK fan i wanted us to pick ASP in the draft but Tom Willander is the more suitable to our system

the least we could do. he gifted us quinn hughes in favour of philip zadina who isn't in the league any more. we still have willander who got 2 goals and an assist in the game after ASP got his hatty. you couldn't count on benning picking guenther with that pick. he DID take juolevi over tkachuk after all.
