He's been mediocre this year at best (albeit perhaps due to injury). Eric Staal of the Wild, or even his teammate Panarin are much more deserving of his spot this year. Toews doesn't understand it himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems ordinary for a number 1 Center to go to the all star game. Yup, Bo did earn it. He has been the best skater on the team this season. (And of course he is leading the team in scoring and is one of the few players with a positive plus/minus despite playing fairly tough minutes. And yes, the Horvat line is the best line on the team even if WD won't acknowledge that line as the first line. 4 hours ago, The Sedge said: Awesome news! Bo has made such great improvements this year on his all around game. Just imagine what he could do if we surrounded him with legit 1st line players. Have to disagree with the implicit criticism of Bo's linemates. Burrows and Baertschi have both been very good this year and have contributed to Bo's success. That line has good chemistry -- the whole is more than the sum of the parts. Not sure who else on the team we would want Bo to play with. I am almost thinking that it might make sense to re-sign Burrows to a low-cost deal for next year and keep that line together. That would free up Boeser (assuming he turns pro and makes the team) to add scoring to another line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could we get a first round pick for him? Could we use that pick to get that 1C that we need? We need elite talent. Maybe if we add Tanev we can get another top-10 pick. </alftroll> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CowBoyCoyote Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 how can he be a allstar? he's a 4th line player that barley got promoted to the third line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm by no means knocking the players currently on his line, they have greatly exceeded expectations this year. But Burrows is in the twilight of his career and I'm not sure Bear has proven himself to be a 1st line player yet. I can't think of any better two players on this current Vancouver team to play with Bo. That said, my point was to imagine if Bo had himself an elite level winger or two to play with... one can dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NHL'er Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Bo Horvat. 3rd player of the 2013 draft class to be named an All-Star. Awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldoescobar Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Horvat definitely deserves to be the Canucks rep at the AS game. That said and as others have mentioned, if there wasnt a mandate to have a rep from each team I find it highly unlikely that he would have been selected this year, but definitely in the future. Not a slight against Horvat by any means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DIBdaQUIB Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Well deserved. He has arguably been our best player since mid way through last season. Congrats Bo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dion Phaneuf Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 tbh he shouldn't be at the game if the all-star only took in account the actual all-stars in the league. However, given that at one representative in needed from each team in the league having Bo Horvat represent the Canucks is a no-brainer. Good experience for him, maybe one day he'll rightfully earn a spot by putting up all-star stats as the team grows and he is given more offensive freedom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
