I don't really get it for either side.

Hronek has been good for Detroit and was seen as one of their core d-men. They appear to want to take the next step but then made this deal.

Funny enough when he was paired with Olli Matta / Jake Walman that was seen as their best pairing earlier this year, and Seider was really struggling paired with Chiarot. Then they moved Hronek with Chiarot, put Seider with Walman and Walman has really taken off, and Hronek has struggled a bit. Maybe just stop playing these young guys with the anchor that is Chiarot.

For Vancouver it makes no sense to be moving the pick you got for Horvat right now, and not for a piece that isn't an elite piece.
