from Kevin Allen of Detroit Hockey Now,
The media does not know why Hronek has been benched, nor do we know when he will play again.
What else we do know is Hronek is 23 and a player who is considered to be part of the rebuild. This summer, the Red Wings gave Hronek a three-year deal worth an average of $4.4 million.
Blashill wouldn’t bench Hronek without discussing this with general manager Steve Yzerman. They talk daily about what’s happening with the team.
That’s important to factor in when you analyze what is happening.
