1. I don’t think Horvat would complain playing the role of 3C, if it helps the team win. I think for him, he’s at the point of his career that all he wants to do is win. Get to the playoffs consistently, advance, and win that damn Cup for this city. He’s said as much. The guy is a career Canuck. He sees himself as such. I think he’ll get paid quite well, 6M for a guy who can score clutch goals, is a FO beast, can score goals - I’d take that for 6M. It’s a contract he’s earned. And if anyone would take a hometown discount, it’s him.
2. I personally don’t see Dickinson back. He’s been so bad this year, I’m not sure there’s justification and rationalization to bring him back to the roster. The only reason for why he would be back is because there are no takers for his services.
3. Chiasson will be back for cheap. If not for cheap, then he’ll be somewhere else or out of the league.
4. I think Lockwood actually makes the roster next year. In his limited time, he showed well.
