Fred65 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 If you believe Sestito will be on the team come October. I don't see him being here personally. I also don't see them having Hansen as a 4th liner making 2.5 mil. Right now we have too many wingers, so somethings gotta give. If Horvat isn't ready to take on center duties, he needs another year in junior IMO. You don't draft one of the best two way centers from junior, then make him play wing. Sestito plays in what has been referred to as the Big Boys league.....did you notice BB in Calgary loading up in tough guys... You need some one, you might not play him everynight... as to Hansen I agree he seems like a prime candidate to move...but if they were, why wouldn't they have done it rather than let his NTC kick in make things more difficult. Here's the answer teams are not fawning over Hansen...easy to say trade him ...a lot more difficult to do. I watched Horvat in the play-offs and the WJC...I needed his number to find him, as much as there's all this talk about him being up in Vcr next season I'm no longer convinced, like I once was. If he's in Vcr next season I just hope it's by merit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was very very good in that series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good, call it the way you see it. IMO I suspect his star is not what it was and I have this thought building for some time, Horvat's stock is falling. To give up a starting goalie the envy of many teams in the NHL and end up with Horvat who is now talked about as a second line centre is looking more and more doubtful...that's the way I see it. You have a kid like Horvat after what you gave up for him he should be a stand out.....IMO Edited July 7, 2014 by Fred65 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derp...

-Vintage Canuck- Posted July 7, 2014 Author Share Posted July 7, 2014 Bo Horvat, Miles Liberati, Spencer Humphries, and Thatcher Demko drill at Canucks Prospects Camp 2014. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knucklehd Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Bo Horvat, Miles Liberati, Spencer Humphries, and Thatcher Demko drill at Canucks Prospects Camp 2014. Of the three camp clips I've seen,(Horvat, Gaunce, McCann) I've been most impressed with mcann. Horvat looked a little disinterested in comparison to Gaunce and McCann, which is a little concerning, because this is how I thought he looked at WJCs and last years camp. I don't know, you would think these kids would exude hunger and enthusiasm at this stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny...the guy in the prospect camp thread, who actually watched all of the drills today, thought Horvat was a step ahead of everyone. He was disappointed in McCann; said he seemed 'passive and overly cautious'. He didn't see much of Gaunce, but thought his skating had improved as well. I wouldn't put much weight behind a 20 sec clip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't put much weight behind a 20 sec clip. Gallagher has mentioned a thousand times Horvat could have and should have been on the team last year. I think he's really disappointed with himself not making the team when a lot of other similiar players made the jump and had 50 point season (Nishckunin, and Monahan) What if he was chirped by stuff like that, people saying the Canucks made the total wrong pick while he was playing in Jnr last year. I think he cared a lot and is mad he was still in Jnr. Just because he shows no energy doesn't mean he isn't disinterested. I just think the kid is ready to turn on the jets in TC and absolutely steal a spot on this team with no doubt being left he is NHL ready. If not then maybe his gf cheated on him or something/ edit: and on 2nd glimpse Demko looks freaking huge, and unstoppable.

I don't know where you're getting your stats from but Monahan and Nichuskin had 34 pts respectively. Monahan was projected better than horvat and Nichuskin played with Benn and Seguin for large portions of the year and only managed 34 pts. I think leaving him in junior was 100% the right choice and I strongly believe he will be there again if and after he gets the 9 game trial period.

CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 I almost feel really comfortable with this trio Horvat-Richardson-Kassian Experience, Grit and ability to score too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tearloch7 Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Well I hope he doesn't off himself like Gallagher suggested when he doesn't make the opening day lineup because he's clearly not ready. Man, but you are a glum fellow at times .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knucklehd Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 It's their first practice. I think you're overreacting. Let him show what he's got when it counts, not in warm up. I don't tend to overreact, and it is probably quiet true that I am basing my opinion on a fraction of a snapshot. However, where Horvat is concerned I was taking into consideration what I saw of him in last years training camp and WJCs. I would love nothing more than to have him earn a spot on this team and force Benning to make a trade to open a spot. I just hope that come this training camp I see a player that is hungry and determined to win a spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BurgerKing Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Woah, Bo's up to 220 lbs, but is looking to get down to 215 by main camp. I would suggest 210lbs, dude is only 6 ft, unless he is super stocky like Torres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred65 Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Nice to know I'm not the only one that can see the Horvat predicament. As much as fans "want" Horvat to make it, the club has to make a judgement call....right now he has to eliminate a vet. That's just the way Benning has made this roster http://www.theprovince.com/sports/hockey/canucks-hockey/Kuzma+Horvat+knows+Canucks+junior/10009237/story.html Kuzma is not given to rash articles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
