Red Wings Reset: 2022-23 defensemen breakdown – NHL

Since making his NHL debut with the Red Wings on Oct. 4, 2018, Hronek has evolved into a reliable top-four defenseman. His production was rewarded when the Czech native signed a three-year extension last September.

As a reminder, the people who write for the official team sites are not interested in arguing the definition of “reliable” but I will say that it’s kind of fun on balance with how he’s talked about. The criticisms of his play make it sound like he’s incapable of playing NHL-level defense while the trade scenarios which mention him tend to demand a return that belies the opinion of a worthless player.

Of course, that’s also an unfair oversimplification of Wings fans who each have their own observations and tend to accidentally add a feeling of hyperbole to generally agreeable takes just by the simple volume of criticisms.

I mean, there’s also people who love to scream wrong and loud things which don’t help, but c’est la vie I guess.

Future Calder-Runner-Up move.

They’re gonna trade for Carey Price or something.
