Ryan Whitney Roasts the Vancouver Canucks After a Ridiculous Trade

The Vancouver Canucks shocked everybody yesterday when they traded for Filip Hronek. It's safe to say many mocked the trade, including long-time NHLer Ryan Whitney.

Whitney Mocks Canucks

It's nonsensical for a rebuilding team to trade a 1st round pick (and a 2nd rounder for the matter).

This is why it was so shocking when the Canucks, in the middle of a tear-down, opted to buy high on Filip Hronek.


To make matters worse, just a few hours later, Jakob Chychrun got traded for a similar package!

Essentially, for an extra 3rd round pick, they could have had Chychrun instead of Hronek, which would have been a game-changer for the team.

This was the target of Ryan Whitney's ridicule.



Hopefully Hronek is worth it for the Canucks, as Jakob Chychrun will forever be ‘what could have been'.
