What's Horvat's trade value (Speculation)


Recommended Posts

Haha. Just like the great one...99

I think not sir.

Henrik

Sutter

Gaunce ( and yes I'm aware the whole Utica LW idea but I think he belongs at C)

Granlund.

 

All players who will likely be around for a few years. Center is position we would be doing well  on with a pick up like Dubios. Defense is where we need some help.

Wont be traded. Hes a untouchable unless its for like Matthews Mcdavid, Laine etc. Those trades wont happen.

Considering that Yzerman wanted Horvat (apparently) for Drouin should tell you what's Horvat's value is currently at.

^^ This. But that was a while ago. If JB phoned up Yzerman now, he would decline Horvat for Drouin pretty sure.

Everyday, his trade value is increasing. As for your question, no, I wouldn't trade Bo Horvat if we draft Pierre-Luc Dubois.

 

Henrik - he is turning 36 this year, and probably has four years left in him at max.

Sutter - can also play on the right wing.

Gaunce - can also play on the left wing.

Granlund - third/fourth line centerman.

Dubois - will need a year or two before making the big club.

 

In four years from now, this is how I see it:

 

Dubois

Horvat

Sutter

Granlund

A Horvat trade speculation thread? Please go back to the Leafs forum, you are much better suited to post there. 

 

This kid has improved everything scouts said he sucked at, including skating (blew by burns), stick-handling (check out the toe drag moves from this year), Shooting (how many top shelfers did he score this year).... only thing he needs to work on is faceoffs. 

 

No point trading a kid who keeps improving his game, I guess you enjoy getting flamed OP?

Horvat and the 5th overall for Laine

As much as I love Laine.... That may be too much. 

 

Laine = First line LW

Horvat = Penciled in second line C with potential for more

5th pick let's say it's Tkachuk = Potential first line LW.

Gretzky wasn't trade, he was sold.  Big difference.

 

And you think by trading one of our best forward for a pick will help our defense?  Even if you select a defensemen, he won't play NHL next year.  Even if that defenseman eventually becomes a 1st pairing guy, it will take at least 3 years.  By then the Sedins will be gone and Sutter will be on the decline.  Lots of IFs and BUTs for risking trading Horvat.

 

Odds are reasonable Dubois will be a top 6, but a true #1 centerman?  That's a long shot.  Therefore our center line would be

 

1C ???

2C Dubois

3C Gaunce

4C Grandlund

 

Ouch!
