We'll have a better idea after this year.
But in all honesy, I'm not impressed by Horton. There's literally about 10 guys I'd take as of now over him based on what I believe they'll do in the NHL.
Phaneuf, Carter, Richards, Staal, Zherdev, Parise, Kesler, Suter, Fleury. In no particular order. Like I said, I'm not just that high on Horton. A lot of that is injuries, and I think he needs to be totally healthy to play his game and be a great player. And as of now I just don't see it happening.
But going into this season it's really nothing but flying blind. With so many of these guys going to be on NHL rosters this year, we won't know for sure, but this time next year we'll have a better idea.
