Vancouver Canucks acquire defenceman Hronek from Red Wings for picks
VANCOUVER — The Vancouver Canucks have added to their blue line, acquiring defenceman Filip Hronek from the Detroit Red Wings.
The trade, announced Wednesday, sees Vancouver send Detroit a pair of draft picks, including the conditional 2023 first-round pick the Canucks got from the New York Islanders in a deal for centre Bo Horvat and Vancouver’s second-round selection in this year’s draft.
In addition to the 25-year-old Hronek, the Red Wings are sending the Canucks their 2023 fourth-round pick.
Hronek has nine goals and 29 assists in 60 games for Detroit this season.
