Rumor: Canucks getting lots of calls on Horvat

[UrbanImpact]

Rodion Amirov + Roni Hirvonen + 2022 2nd rd. Pick for Bo at 50%

Would rather get Ryder Halak and a 2nd.

3 mil a year for Horvat, there would be a stampede of buyers.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

what teams have 6 mil in cap space?

Detroit, Buffalo and Ottawa to name but a few.

 

[Bettman Returnz]

He's 2nd line center. He isn't some stud. Also by the sounds of it, he might be getting isolated in the locker room. Not much of a leader either.

Would rather move Miller… the fact that there’s lots of interest in horvat says it all. But good try knocking down his character to steal a legit top 6 centre. I genuinely don’t think bo is the Canucks issue! There’s more signs pointing at Miller…

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Debrusk + Studnicka + 1st +

Barf, I made a better offer then this. With Hronek+Zadina+Detroit's 2022 1st round pick and Detroit's 2023 2nd round pick.

Pretty clear Benning is the canucks issue and has been for like 7 years, Horvat's a good player - he is no stud, which is pretty much why you're disagreeing.

Why would we give the C to Miller who will be UFA in 2 years at 30 yrs old.

unless the Canucks are planning to commit to him with a 5+ yr extension in 2 years which I would not be thrilled with especially with the mileage Miller has and the way he plays the game, its bound to break down sooner than later and probably not shortly after the age of 30 yrs old.

Horvat's contract is up at the same time and he will be UFA as well. There's no guarantee Bo sticks around for a rebuild either. What I'm seeing on the ice is JT Miller battling every night while our captain is battling the yips most nights. The on-ice leader is Miller and if there is a rift between the two, I'm team JT.

I agree with the Benning part of your quote! He is the problem!

I am not trying to say that horvat is a top end super star in the league. But is he a legit top 6 centre, yup! Any team could use a horvat on their team.

 

[SML2]

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

Just because one team makes a deal, it doesn't mean that's the price for the next deal. The two things have very little to do with each other.

I'd argue that Boeser, Pettersson and Horvat having a combined 13 goals and 29 points at the quarter season mark is the bigger issue.

 

[Foppberg]

I'm not even sure Benning is Vancouver's biggest problem. Seems like they have very meddlesome ownership.

Kravtsov, Jones and a 1st from NYR

For Horvat

 

[UrbanImpact]

Kravtsov, Jones and a 1st from NYR

For Horvat

Will cost more to get Horvat for 2 years and good chance at re-signing him long term after that.

I also dont trust NYR's drafting and would rather target other picks and prospects from other team if thats the best NYR can offer.

Canucks also have depth on the wing and Kravtsov has shown he has no interest developing in the AHL.

Canucks wingers:

Boeser
Garland
Hoglander
Miller
Podkolzin

Heck, Pettersson might have to get changed to a winger if he cant get any better or stronger with faceoffs.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

If Vancouver's serious I'd love him on the Jets. But the issue is cap space.

If not the Jets, then I think he'd be excellent on Colorado.

 

[Magic Man]

Would rather get Ryder Halak and a 2nd.

3 mil a year for Horvat, there would be a stampede of buyers.

I agree. That's a big time deadline fish, especially with the extra year. I would be comfortable with a few different scenarios myself.

 

[The Red Mile]

Monahan and Valamaki for Horvat

 

[UrbanImpact]

If Vancouver's serious I'd love him on the Jets. But the issue is cap space.

Vancouver can retain, but of course that will drive the price up.

 

[BatVader]

If Vancouver's serious I'd love him on the Jets. But the issue is cap space.

Jets could use Boeser more than Horvat, but unless Wheeler agrees to waive and the Canucks agree to take him, Winnipeg can’t afford either… but Connor-PLD-Boeser would be a dangerous line

 

[Kristopher Letang]

I’m starting to feel bad for Canucks fans

 

[UrbanImpact]

Monahan and Valamaki for Horvat

Thats neither a hockey trade or a rebuild trade ( only 2 scenarios that Horvat is traded)

I also dont think the Canucks want to face Horvat consistently over the next decade while he plays in CGY

 

[Deen]

Trading Horvat would be dumb as hell. Even if they rebuild, he's young enough to be a veteran presence.

 

[potatowejj]

I wish Canucks fans would start a riot in Aquilini's office. That would actually accomplish something.

 

[UrbanImpact]

Trading Horvat would be dumb as hell. Even if they rebuild, he's young enough to be a veteran presence.

His age is not the question.

His willingness to go through another rebuild in 2 yrs is the question.

This is year 8 for him with the Canucks and he has only made the playoffs twice.

I can definitely understand if he wants to move on in 2 years, in which case, the Canucks should move him now and get MAX value.

 

[Lays]

Lundkvist+Othmann+1st+2nd

or

Lundkvist+Kravtsov+1st

or

Chytil+Lundkvist+2nd

not all of these packages have same value but just throwing out possibilities

 

[OilersCoffeeArtBeer]

Horvat is great. Wish the oilers could afford him.
