Overview
- A Sept. 17 episode of the Boston Bruins documentary Behind the B showed a whiteboard entry that appears to propose sending Filip Hronek to Boston.
- The visible proposal listed the Bruins’ defensive prospect Liam Pettersson plus the team’s 2027 and 2028 first-round picks as the return for Hronek.
- No trade was completed and Hronek remains with the Vancouver Canucks under a full no-movement clause through 2028 that would have required his consent to be moved.
- The whiteboard’s credibility rose after other items on the same board — a Joonas Korpisalo trade and a Connor Clifton signing — were later completed, and fans on Reddit enhanced the blurry screenshot to draw attention.
- Analysts say the reveal gives a concrete data point about Hronek’s market value and suggests the Canucks’ ability to move him will increase when his NMC converts to a 15-team no-trade list in 2028, which could change trade leverage and roster planning.
