The problem with the Canucks' defence is that the two veteran d-men on this team are some of their worst players.

Tyler Myers is a 6 foot 8 foot marshmallow. -softer than a roll of Charmin toilet paper.

Forget about being a shut down defenceman. Myers won't even use his size to clear out opposing players in front of Demko on a consistent basis.

I remember a recent road game that the Canucks played against Nashville.

A Preds forward had multiple chances to score on Silovs because Myers just stood in front of the goalie instead of putting that Nashville player's ass on the ice!

Sure enough, that Nashville player scored a goal by being able to stand in front of the goalie.

OEL plays out of position frequently. A big minus player on the team.
A cap hit of $8.25 million and Myers average annual salary of 6 million per season make these underachieving bozos hard to trade away.

OEL also has a full no trade clause.

It doesn't matter that much if the Canucks acquire Hronek if the team still has dead weight with Myers and OEL on the team.

Who is the shut down defenceman for the team? Can Hronek do the job as a shut down d-man and contribute offensively?

Tocchet mentioned that Hronek has a bomb of a shot at the point. How good a defender is Hronek though?
