Update - Salary Breakdown

2021-22: $2.7MM salary + $500K signing bonus
2022-23: $4.5MM salary
2023-24: $5.5MM salary

His qualifier will be at 5.5, not bad at all. Take a look at a lot of deals signed this summer. Low cash in the first year (not just on RFAs). Franchises trying to keep spending down this year while they recover from last 2 seasons of down revenue

Update - Elliott Friedman tweeting the deal is 3 yrs with a 4.4m AAV. This is a really good signing. Hronek will still be RFA at the end (and only 26). It puts into perspective his jump into the NHL. He quickly leapt over Cholowski in organizational standing (Cholo now in Seattle). He has been a bright side to a draft that otherwise didn’t go well. Hronek is one of the finest players Holland got for Detroit for this rebuild.

Details to come. Financials still not released, but another short term deal. Hronek is one of only 3 players with contracts for the 23-24 season. Vrana and Rasmussen are the other two. No one signed beyond that. Still very smart cap management in the works.
