We Now Know the Frontrunners to Acquire Bo Horvat
Bo Horvat is one of the most exciting players on the market. Not only is he an NHL captain, he is scoring at nearly a goal-per-game pace. He is the exact kind of player a team needs to make it through the playoffs, and he is still young enough to sign long-term after his deal expires this season.
Canucks president Jim Rutherford didn't leave any mystery in his intention to trade Horvat:
Canucks president Jim Rutherford alluded to the idea that Horvat's sizzling start means the captain could be the catalyst for core reconstruction: «The better he plays, the better return we can get for him,» Rutherford told Sportsnet 650 earlier this month. There is no shortage of teams interested in a top-flight center, either as a rental or long-term fit: Colorado, Detroit, Boston, and Edmonton, to name a few
Whatever Vancouver acquires in this deal will be foundational for their inevitable rebuild.
It will be exciting to see where this case goes.
