Trade Discussion: Should Detroit trade Filip Hronek?

Despite the fact that Filip Hronek is very good offensively, he exhibits difficulties on the defensive side of the puck.  In early December, it was so bad, Nick Leddy was taken away from promising rookie Moritz Seider and placed on the 2nd defense pair with Hronek.  This was done to settle Hronek down because he was on the ice for so many goals scored against.  From December 10-16, Hronek was -7 including a -4 game against Colorado.

For the season, Hronek is currently -20, one of the worst on the Red Wings.  Last year, Hronek was -18.  In the Covid-19 shortened season of 2019-2020, Hronek was a miserable -38.

For his career, Hronek is a combined -86 in 223 games.  No matter how good a player is offensively, a team that wins championships needs defensement that know how to play in their own end without the puck.
