The Vancouver Canucks won’t make a desperate move while they wait for a Filip Hronek timeline
Sportsnet: Elliotte Friedman said that Vancouver Canucks don’t have a Filip Hronek timeline but they don’t do anything desperate.
** NHLRumors.com transcription
Ron Maclean: “Vancouver Canucks at Detroit tomorrow afternoon, Elliotte, Filip Hronek’s old team. What’s his status?”
Friedman: “So they are still waiting to determine exactly what his situation is going to be. He’s going to be out a while. But again, we don’t have a specific timeline on it as of yet.
You know, one of the things Ron is that Vancouver is down defenseman. They’ve also struggled a bit defensively. They’re out there. They have one of the most aggressive front offices in the league. Everybody knows it, Jim Rutherford, Patrik Allvin, they’re not afraid to do anything, but they have made it very clear we’re not going to do something just because other people think we’re desperate.
So I think there’s some teams out there really looking. I think Nashville is one of those teams. I think Ottawa has been careful just seeing what’s out there, but I don’t get the sense, they’re jumping head-first into anything yet.
