Let's go now to the Able Auctions hotline. As mentioned, our next guest is from the Athletic Vancouver and Canucks talk right here on Sportsnet 650. It's Thomas Drance on the Halford and Brough show. What up, Drancer? Gentlemen, good morning. Good morning to you. Are you excited about being on this day, NHL Draft Eve?
Yeah, always. I mean, it's an exciting time of year. I'm usually looking forward to getting through it, especially by this point. But yeah, I mean, one week to go, you think about all the news that is likely to break, not just for the Canucks, but around the league. And obviously, it's already been head spinning in terms of the magnitude of the deals we've seen. But yeah, You know, we got two days of the draft coming up tomorrow. The next day, Ryan Johnson's going to speak in. what, an hour here, always the possibility that you get additional news, signings, trades, extensions, and then qualifying offer deadline, development camp opens for the Canucks on Monday. I mean, this is the busiest part of the year.
So, yeah, I mean, this is what we do it for.
Will Ryan Johnson get asked about Filip Hronik? And even if he does, what are you hearing on the Filip Hronik front?
Yeah, I can't add much to it. You know, I think you will be asked about it. I think it's probably the most pertinent question, you know, frankly, just because I think it tells us a lot, right? It speaks volumes about sort of the approach and where exactly the quote-unquote Canucks plan that we're going to see, right? Like, we don't know what this team's plan is to rebuild. We don't know what this model is going to look like. They haven't made player personnel moves yet. For the most part, aside from some American League signings. So, you know, I think the peronic question to me is just enormously telling. The club has talked about patience. They've talked about culture. I think that all points in one direction, but on the other hand, they've also talked about accumulating draft capital.
And so, you know, as we've seen, I mean, top 10 picks have changed hands three times this week. Top five pick we saw get dealt, which never happens, but, but it did for Bowen Byram. So there've been a lot of high value draft picks flying around the NHL trade market and the cost is premium trade assets. It's not, The guys who have a lot of term on their deal and are older.
What insights does Thomas Drance share about the Canucks on NHL Draft Eve?
And honestly, it's not even the guys that have say over where they go to some extent. Right. I mean, the Bowen Byram price emerges because that team had the freedom to create an auction environment, the Buffalo Sabres, and did so expertly. Kudos to them. But there's also a contractual angle there. Right. Byram wasn't eligible for an NTC NMC contract. That's what creates that sort of price demand. And, you know, even if you're talking about Philip Ronick, yes, he is the Canucks only premium asset here. I also think you have to recognize that, you know, NHL trade values effectively set by multiple factors. One of them is quality, the quality of the player.
