Jason Botchford: Horvat takes big strides to make Canucks forget about Schneider

[Moonshinefe]

I hated the trade at the time since Schneider was a legitimate starting goalie and our pick was a maybe. Schneider could even be argued to be top 10 in the league currently, if you consider his stats the last couple seasons + the team in front of him. But Horvat is working out, and I have no doubt he'll be our undisputed #1 C in a season or two. I see him getting 30 goals / 60-70pts a season (which curiously, most analysts were highly skeptical of almost all the way in his early career).

Ever heard of Ray Martynuik? He was dubbed "the can't miss kid". Drafted 5th overall in 1970, it was the second highest selection of a goalie at the time. He never played an NHL game. He's on THN's list of top 5 NHL draft busts of all time. There's no such thing as a "can't miss" pick. Ask Alexander "The Next Great One" Daigle.

 

Or Morris"who sunk my ship" Titanic.  12th overall but if I remember had a lot of hype.

Horvat is better then the Sedins were at the same age.

for now, but we wall new we would feel that way short term. if Horvat keeps developing the way he has you wont feel that way long term

There was always bust potential.
