Rumor: Canucks getting lots of calls on Horvat

[UrbanImpact]

Of course they are

-Captain
-Centre
- 26 yrs old
- 6mil a year this year and next
- One of the top faceoff-man in the NHL over the last couple of years
- Elevates his game in the playoffs
-Consistent 20-25 goals a year

Absolute stud of a player and leader. Continues to elevate his game year after year. Has yet to reach his ceiling.
If Vancouver is going into a full rebuild, they will get a boatload of return for Horvat.

The one big misunderstanding about Horvat is that he is a great 2-way player ala Ryan Oreily. Though he is great at faceoffs and isnt a defensive liability, Horvat is only average/below average defensively. He also doesnt kill penalties unless he is out there for a faceoff.

Which teams would be interested and what would be the return?

I can see teams who just want 2 playoff runs with him also try and trade for him even if they dont necessarily think they can re-sign him long term in 2 years when he is a UFA.


Benning might have been told he isnt allowed to make trades anymore though,

Hey everybody! If you want to ask Benning for a favor, now's the time! He's doped up, or dying, or something!

It's starting to look like there might be friction between Bo and JT Miller. Miller openly questioned the commitment of unnamed players at a press conference yesterday. All dressing rooms are different, but that kind of statement is usually left to be made by the team's captain.

What would be asking price for Horvat?

Similar type of previous trade ?

A lot less then Eichel.

Canucks needs are young RD.


picks and prospects wise I'd think its :

1st round
3rd round
Top prospect

 

[Foppberg]

Go get him Sakic!!

 

[UrbanImpact]

Go get him Sakic!!

Can we get go get Sakic instead? bring Burnaby Joe home

 

[Foppberg]

Nah, he's home.

 

[The Moose is Loose]

Barron + 1st + 3rd round pick for Horvat (50% retained)

Barron is one of the Avs best prospects- a big 2-way RHD who we drafted with our 1st last year

 

[StreetHawk]

Fans in Vancouver who are calling for a complete rebuild from the next gm need to also realize that most of the guys whose contracts will expire in the next couple of years won’t re-sign any of their ufa years away if the club rebuilds. Will follow Eichel, Reinhart, Jones etc. out the door.

 

[nergish]

As a Canucks fan, I'm pouring the soup down the drain and starting with a new base.

Celery, carrots, onions. Horvat, Demko, Hughes.
(Obviously OEL is here to stay as well.)

That's a perfectly adequate base to (re)build around.
Everybody else should be on the table.

While, I agree that Horvat has not been good enough this year - he was born for the playoffs.
If there's friction between JT and Bo, it's pretty obvious which one would stay and which one would go...

Horvat, unlike Miller, we would be holding out for prime time, because it would really and truly indicate a proper rebuild.

Basically has to include Newhook

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Barron + 1st + 3rd round pick for Horvat (50% retained)

Barron is one of the Avs best prospects- a big 2-way RHD who we drafted with our 1st last year

Going to cost Newhook + Barron

 

[EdJovanovski]

This is a disaster

 

[NotASheep]

Horvat is having an off year. my guess is teams are offering Canucks pennies on the buck for him

 

[stl76]

Vancouver would be crazy to trade Horvat, can't see it happening. Don't doubt other teams are calling/asking about him tho.

I like this deal wouldn’t mind one more ready to go prospect though

Exactly. It hurts, but I know if this franchise is going to have a future, they need to get as much value as possible from Miller, Horvat, and Boeser before it's too late.

You must be that angry Canucks leprechaun! I’m going to get your goals!

With how Newhook has played I think that’s a nonstarter.
He’s playing fantastic, putting points, and he’s on a ELC and is under team control for 5 more years. Makes no sense to swap to a more expensive Horvat who is UFA in 1.5 years.

If you find another team that’ll give you a 20 year old center putting up .7 PPG in the NHL + their top prospect, congrats, but it won’t be from the Avs

Bo and Miller you can hear the complete frustration in the voices when they talk to the media. Both ufa in 2023. Don’t see either extending this summer. Brock is ufa in 2024, he is better off going to arbitration and going ufa rather than sign a long term deal in this mess.

that is what burning this year and last is going to cost the team.

 

[Foppberg]

Going to cost Newhook + Barron

If Eichel didn't cost two blue chippers, neither does Horvat.

 

[NotASheep]

what teams have 6 mil in cap space?

Yep. None of them are re-signing. Get a big package back while you can.
