[Rumour] Bo Horvat Trade/Contract Talks
Locke Lamora replied to HOFsedins's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Lol, no. His injury saga was likely a result of his lack of professionalism in terms of training and dedication. I’ll never forget a quote by Sami Salo when he had OJ in Finland for a bit, where he basically commented that OJ didn’t understand the importance of fitness. -
Lol, I just went through the list of current NHL captains. Bo is out “alpha-ing” pretty much all of them this year. For Bo to be doing what he’s doing with this contract thing hanging over him just proves what kind of insane mettle he has. He is doing everything within his skill set to help this team win - too bad he can’t play D or goaltender! - while simultaneously showing this management group the error of their ways in underestimating him as a player. That he doesn’t hit everything that moves or fight means he’s not an “alpha” is pure Neanderthal hockey thinking.

I agree with this. Initially I thought there was a snow balls’ chance in hell we’d be able to trade Miller and that contract. But after that wretched start - and since putting him on Bo’s wing - he’s been better and the points are coming for him now. Maybe you can find a taker. But after not being able to drum up adequate return last Summer….I still have doubts about sleepy Jim and his little helper Allvin.

Imagine trading the dude. Drafted and developed here, mentored by the Sedins, now blossoming into the kind of scorer that nobody saw coming back in his prospect days - the words most used to describe Bo were “dependable”….not “prolific”. Folks, almost to the quarter pole in the season and he LEADS THE NHL IN GOALS. Let that sink in. I personally think the more he scores the less likely he is to be traded. Let’s say he’s on a 50 goal pace right around “prime time” for a trade would be….what horrific PR to move him (some are saying Boston, WTF?) and watch him pot his 50th in another jersey. I don’t want to see this on my watch. Rutherford (Jimbo #2), do your job, adjust the roster and payroll where needed, and get our captain signed. This is what you are paid to do. The only way I’d be ok to trade Bo is if Rutherford and company commit to a FULL REBUILD….a tear it down to the studs type of thing. A “retool” on the fly is not helped by trading Bo Horvat in my opinion. His presence helps you win for at least a 5 year window. I think folks think Bo is old….he’s 27….McJesus is 25. One more thing….if anyone hear suffers from insomnia, give the PDOcast show on SN650 a try. Miracle cure!
