[Rumour] Canucks interested in Andrei Kuzmenko

That’s not true. he is playing for 1 m usd in the KHL.. a buy out , it agreed can be a fraction of that cost you mentioned, and could be offset in a contract here as a “signing bonus”. His season is over, he has 1 year left on his contract.… and he fortune of Russia and it’s economy is presently threatened by Putin pointing guns right now. -

Personally I’m past spending “development “ time for Bo, 8 years. How many more? I think he is playing a safe game to stay healthy and retire, LE did,. Sutter had been, even Edler did. Perhaps the time to have moved Bo was When we had Toffoli . Bo will bring 2 deeply needed , playable returns.. players with prowess. -

You can still play rough and tough, taking time and space away from players out of splay, or simply wear them out.. We do not wear out opponents. -

He needs to see guys playing for him, not relying on him, His D core plays for him.. some of the forwards who are not wearing down the opposing players, or stepping up for his D core is demoralizing. This team needs Smyl like leadership that a TEAM will mimic, and fuel each other with every night. -

“Horvat has quite a few important duties and does the team little good if he's sitting for 3rd man in, or fighting, or kicked out of the game, or suspended. But he has to show up in scrums and not just stand around. Grab a guy out of the pile and pull him aside, whatever, get in there without taking a penalty” If my Captain , on my team played and reacted the way you discribe, I and others on his team would have the same leadership ethic, and mimic his qualities. That is what Smyl did for his teamates.. playing with that edge, and willing to cross the line when necessary. Im not expecting a Captain Pugilist, I’m now expecting the same Captain Characteristics Stan Smyl had.. should we ask of anything less? .. but less is what we have had for more than a decade. Horvat does not exude those qualities of Smyl and even now with Miller beside him, can not match the quality Miller brings. 8 years is enough, Horvat can change somewhere else. Cheers Goal, I do appreciate our conversations. -

Secure Miller first if you can. But for both of those Canuck players, it’s time to move from regardless. -
First it was Torts, and now Bruce calling it out. Ahhh yes, the quiet “woe is me” leadership we’ve had in this city. Remember.. “we choked” ? That from Naslund transferred to inaction from Hank when his brother took the cross check from Keith,. And how they both did nothing but look like punching bags for Marshand. Ambassadors are not leaders in the field of war,. They are simply diplomats, which is what Horvat has become. The only raw emotions I see are from Miller, Garland, OEL, Myers, Burroughs, Hamonic, Lamikko, Motte, Highmore and a few others . Smyls jersey hangs high for his emotions turned into blood and sweat. At least EP is learning something from their ethic.. and not simply sailing past a hit the way Horvat and Boeser do. it’s not one game that brings me to this conclusion it’s a consistent theme, with the odd “isn’t he a beauty game”. The Ghost Complex. Horvat.. 8 years in the NHL and Captain of the Canucks wow! My how we have degraded from the years I witnessed Stan Smyl, Gino, Diduyck, Babych, Snepts , Delorme, Mommesso and others that brought it all every night. Leadership,. The Captaincy, is shameful.. and the biggest joke in the league was making Luongo a Captain. . Talk about departure when you never cross a blue line other than to swap a crease. Others can stay “woe is me” and defend it, and their favourites. I’m one of many now calling it out, times up, and it’s time management changes it. so be careful, don’t get lulled to death watching an 8 year vet in Horvat hopefully turn it around. His next game is not going to change anything for me,. It’s his body of on-ice presence that’s not there. He is not physical, and does not engage every night, has not, will not. We’ve witnessed enough of this type leadership, he is an ambassador, not a Captain.. it hasn’t worked out. https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/video/boudreau-says-canucks-woe-mentality-must-change/

Boeser for Bahl and Zacha Horvat and Highmore for Debrusk and Carlo line that up. -
[Rumour] Bo Horvat Trade/Contract Talks
SilentSam replied to HOFsedins's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
To add to my thoughts,. Try to Swap Horvat for DeBrusk and Carlo.. DeBrusk has asked for a trade, would embrace a fresh start in a Canadian city close to home. Carlo is someone we need. -
[Rumour] Bo Horvat Trade/Contract Talks
SilentSam replied to HOFsedins's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
We’ve been rebuilding since 2012. Trading Brock or Bo is not trading our best asset on the team and not setting us back. We need to build around a leader, not gift it to one like we have. -

[Rumour] Bo Horvat Trade/Contract Talks
SilentSam replied to HOFsedins's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Bo is becoming a failure.. I questioned the Captaincy to him as an unproven young man .. a boy really,. Leading men? Its too much for him, it shows. .. and one game hasn’t shown this to me,. It’s his quiet demeanour through his career here.… and one good game isnt going to change my mind or prove otherwise to me. He has had the opportunity, This is his 8th season here ffs.. how many more is it going to take to be better than what he is? Many here thought LE was a great defensive forward too,. Gave great contribution to the team, was a great mentor for Petey ! Lol ! Perhaps LE was a cancer here that nobody thought existed.. another great example of our leadership group. -

Not cherry picking, Peterson should be granted the same time and opportunities Bo has to be playing at a high level. Bo’s time to “be” has been theses past 2 years, and I think he is fallen below a level of fair expectations. playing like a 3.5m - 4m player.. not leading every night.. same with Brock. Miller has raised the bar,. We should see nothing less than his level of tenacity, a player hard to play against every night.
