Tired of hearing the stupid reasoning that waiting until the TDL would GUARANTEE a higher return. There are LOTS of options on the market, and many would be CHEAPER to acquire than Horvat. From a cost-benefit basis, many of these guys below would be better bang for the buck. If you're holding out to try and get a top 4 RHD, top tier prospect, and a 1st round pick + MORE, you're pricing yourself out of this market. Use your head. Think about it from the other team's perspective instead of trying to come up with generalized statements like "OH WE COULD HAVE GOT MORE!!!!11!1!!" Players on the trade block: O'Reilly Larkin Toews Kane Tarasenko Meier Van Riemsdyk Roslovic 1 of Bennett, Reinhart, or Duclair Bottomline is there are multiple avenues of improving a roster at the TDL. Ask for the moon, and you could very well get whatever is leftover in terms of offers.

That's how I see it. He has all the tools (even does well on faceoffs >50% in the NHL so far). Just needs to adapt to North America. Remember, the kid was 19 years old as recent as November. He's very young still.

Just nuts. Can't wait to see the Connor and Connor show in future best-on-best world tournaments.

From what I've seen of him and what I've read, he's a solid 200ft 2-way centre with a scoring touch. TBH, wouldn't surprise me one bit if he becomes a 50 to 60 point, 2-way 2C. Sound familiar?

While we wait for the arms race to pickup and the price for Horvat to increase..... O'Reilly to Avs Larkin to Boston Meier to Carolina Kane to NJ Tarasenko to Pitt Then what? Point is, Horvat isn't the only upgrade for teams out there. ESPECIALLY if you price him so high nobody can or wants to pay. I bet management learned that lesson last year with Miller. Hence the deal happened here 5 weeks before the TDL.

Could be a UFA pickup come the summer
