Known for his puck-moving ability, strong skating, and offensive upside, Hronek recorded a career-high 48 points (5 goals, 43 assists) in 81 games during the 2023\u201324 season, helping the Canucks return to playoff contention.<\/p>\n<p>General Manager Patrik Allvin praised Hronek\u2019s impact, calling him a &#8220;key piece&#8221; of the team\u2019s future. The long-term deal provides stability for both sides, avoiding arbitration or a potential short-term bridge contract.<\/p>\n<p>The extension is also cap-conscious, keeping Hronek\u2019s AAV manageable as the salary cap rises in the coming seasons. With Hughes, Hronek, and Thatcher Demko all locked up long-term, Vancouver continues to build a competitive core. Hronek\u2019s extension reflects the Canucks\u2019 intent to remain a playoff-caliber team in the years ahead while investing in high-performing, reliable talent on the back end.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Canucks sign Hronek to eight-year extension with $7.25 million AAV&#8230;.full details &nbsp; The Vancouver Canucks have signed defenseman Filip Hronek to an eight-year contract extension with an average annual value (AAV) of $7.25 million.
