I.Am.Ironman Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 An AAV of 5.5 is fair for both sides but Bo still has to prove he is worth it. This deal is overpriced for now, probably fair in the next 2 years then the final years should be a good deal for the organization if Bo continues his trajectory. I'm happy we have locked him up long term. Good news to start a Friday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shekky Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 would of preferred 5.3 myself but I don't care either way 6 more seasons of Bo is good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ossi Vaananen Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 I was thinking more like 5. Still a good signing though. Horvat's camp held out and eventually got paid. The comparable was set by Drouin in June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-Money Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 As I said last week, with the deals Johnson and Wennberg recently signed the absolute max should be long-term at $5.5 million. So, not an overpayment, but not a deal either. Fair...and happy it's done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhippy Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 I'll call it a fail deal because we'll still retain his rights after it expires I believe. Other than that it's a shade much for my tastes, but only by that half million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

komodo0921 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Love this contract for both sides. Both the Canucks and Bo get fair market value and it shows that Bo is not greedy which will only endear him more to the fans as a team guy. Good job from both sides. Bo is officially home.

Coconuts Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 That's a reasonable contract, good job JB&co. He'll be worth it in a few seasons, not gonna quibble over a few hundred grand a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Bagues Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Great contract. I think we're going to be happy moving forward. The fact he's Vancouver's best player right now probably gave some leverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diesel_3 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 That's a great value contract for both sides. Safe to say i'll be ordering a Horvat jersey this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R3aL Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 16 minutes ago, Fateless said: Less? He was our leading scorer last year as a 22 year old and we just bought a couple years of free agency. This is contract is already good value. Yea it's okay. 5.5 was my max amount I'd be okay with Think 5-5.25 would have been better but not that big a difference anyways so whatever Hope he performs this year with the new coaching and the league being aware of him and including him in their shut down plans. Also so would like to see his d game improve. Happy it's done though was becoming a distraction! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
