2025 Fantasy Outlook
After a career year with 48 points in 2023-24, Hronek’s production dipped to 33 points last season, though he missed 21 games due to a lower-body injury. A pass-first defenseman that plays in all situations, Hronek is a useful depth option in upcoming drafts, but his offensive potential is limited by No. 1 defenseman Quinn Hughes. Hronek’s ability to transition the puck up the ice in a top-four role will keep him relevant in the form of assists, but he’s yet to hit the 10-goal mark in his seven-year career. That’s unlikely to change unless Hronek can get more pucks on net, as he’s never topped 148 shots on goal in a season. The 27-year-old may be able to get back to the 40-point threshold if he cuts down on turnovers -- he had 74 last campaign, 24 more than he had two seasons ago despite making 20 fewer appearances.

Hronek scored a power-play goal and added an assist in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Bruins.
ANALYSIS
Hronek has racked up nine points over his last nine outings, though the goal was his first since Nov. 23 versus the Flames. The defenseman is now at three goals, 25 points, 59 shots on net, 69 hits, 57 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 41 appearances this season. Hronek has never had a 50-point campaign, coming up two shy over 81 regular-season outings in 2023-24, but he's on pace to change that fact this year.

2018
Hronek struggled with consistency in the 2023-24 campaign. He got off to a crazy start, recording three goals and 36 points over his first 42 contests, but the bottom fell out of his production over his final 39 outings, resulting in him collecting just two goals and 12 points over that span. That cold run extended into the playoffs, with him earning one goal and one assist across 13 appearances. Hronek's 48 points in the regular season still represented a career-high, but given how inconsistent he was in 2023-24, it's hard to see him replicating that success. It would be better to pencil him in for 30-40 points this season, which is more in line with what the 26-year-old has been able to do thus far in his career.
A shoulder injury ended Hronek's campaign in late March, though there's not too much reason to be concerned. He picked up a career-best 39 points over 64 games between the Canucks and Red Wings in 2022-23. Despite that performance, he was deemed expendable by Detroit at the trade deadline. At 25 years old, Hronek is probably the second-best blueliner on the Vancouver roster behind Quinn Hughes. Hronek has noticeably more physicality and can work on the second power-play unit. He can push for 40 points if he stays healthy with near 100 hits and 80 blocked shots, and he should be a fixture in the Canucks' top four.
The fact Hronek finished last season with a career-high 38 points seems great on the surface, but a deeper dive into the numbers reveals cause for concern. For starters, Hronek posted a minus-29 rating. His average ice time dropped by well over a minute to 22:02, while his time with the man advantage dipped 40 seconds to 1:53 per contest. Hronek also posts middling totals in terms of hits and blocks. The emergence of Moritz Seider as Detroit's unquestioned No. 1 defender doesn't help matters, either. Don't reach for Hronek in your draft this fall.
Hronek's was one of Detroit's best players this past season. Yes, it's a low bar, but the talented young rearguard displayed some legitimate improvement. Hronek's minus-18 rating from last campaign appears dreadful on the surface, but it's miles better than the minus-38 mark he posted a year earlier. Hronek has 11 goals and 57 points (22 with the man advantage) in 121 games over the past two seasons, more than respectable numbers for a kid who won't turn 24 years of age until November. He doesn't offer much in terms of blocks and hits and he is basically undraftable in leagues which value plus-minus rating, but those seeking a point-producing defender could do far worse in the mid-to-late rounds.
Hronek is perhaps the most gifted scorer among Red Wings blueliners entering 2020-21. Last year, he netted nine goals and 31 points, and while he had a minus-38 rating, that's a product of him logging 23:54 per game on a team that was nearly always the second best on the ice. There's plenty to like about the 23-year-old Czech defenseman. He posted 105 hits and 74 blocked shots in 65 contests last year, showing he can contribute without scoring. Assuming the Red Wings improve from their league-worst play from last year, Hronek could challenge the 40-point mark in his third full season in 2020-21. With solid supporting numbers, Hronek is worth a middle-to-late round pick in fantasy drafts.
While injuries largely paved the way for Hronek to make an Opening Night appearance, the Czech defenseman ended up flaunting his offensive acumen to the tune of five goals and 23 points through 46 contests, including a goal and four helpers on the man advantage. His minus-10 rating -- while not very useful in fantasy settings -- could have been much worse as a rookie playing for a Detroit team that permitted 50 more goals than it scored. The Red Wings otherwise lack right-shot defenseman that can move the puck on the power play, and as a result, Hronek projects to secure a full-time, 20-minute role in 2019-20. More growing pains are expected, but the upside is readily apparent when it comes to No. 17.
Hronek set the offensive standard among defensemen for AHL Grand Rapids in 2017-18, amassing 11 goals and 28 assists to complement a plus-24 rating through 67 contests. Most of the hype is centered around Hronek's two-way game, with his first-rate instincts promising to bear fruit in the NHL someday. The Red Wings picked the Czech prospect in the second round (53rd overall) of the 2016 NHL Entry Draft after he dominated the OHL circuit with Saginaw having recorded more points (61) than games played (59). Considering the Wings finished 28th in scoring and ranked only four spots higher than that on the power play last season, Hronek should be fast-tracked to hockey's biggest stage, but a full-time role out of the gate is not guaranteed.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Good fit for Isles?
DVancouver Canucks
November 26, 2025
Hronek would need to waive his no-trade clause but would be a good trade target for the Islanders, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Hronek started the year with the 20-game goal drought during which he generated 11 helpers, including a trio of power-play assists. Over his last three appearances, the 28-year-old blueliner has found the back of the net twice while generating 11 shots on net. As a potential member of the Islanders, Hronek could work on the No. 2 power-play unit ahead of Tony DeAngelo.
