He is a part of a leadership group mentality installed by this Team when the Sedins played. Horvat is not our best player, and their are others who play better, and lead better, far more vocal. it’s too much for Horvat.. everything was expected of him.. and it was thrown to him. I don’t think it’s an expectation he wanted. The best player on a team is not necessarily the team captain. When Bo was chosen as captain of the Canucks, this was the roster. https://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/leagues/seasons/teams/0000392020.html It was an obvious choice.

Send Bo to hockey purgatory. LOL it's confusing talking about what's going on these days with the team. It's absolutely negative talk every day, all day on the radio waves. Then again, the team hasn't given the media much positivity to talk about. It's been a $&!# show in Vancouver with regards to the Canucks. Absolute $&!# show. I'm not the least bit surprised that GM's in other organizations and teams are surrounding the Canucks like vultures attempting to pluck one of their key "core" players for cheap. They're hoping that Benning cracks under the immense pressure right now, and makes a piss poor deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's more suited as an A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the Canucks’ best days as a franchise during the 2010’s, negative talk was going on anyways on radio. Because that’s how Vancouver is. Very frustrating. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller isn’t going to push himself into Horvats way . . but I’m sure our type of Leadership Group is not working,. And that probably frustrates the hell out of a players like Miller, Garland and OEL. … and I’d have to disagree,. Miller oozes the C.

1994_fan Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 What if instead of Miller or Boeser, it's Horvat for Fiala, Boldy and a pick. Bo is the Center Minni needs ... after reading about the possible 'team relation' problems. I think it's him that's lost the room. haven't posted in 4 years so don't jump me for not tagging Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JT resurrected this club when he arrived,. The trouble is no one else but Garland OEL Dickenson can keep up with his tenacity.. He is great mentor for EP and Podz, and many more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wild are top of the division but are actually in a rebuild so expecting high end futures just doesn’t feel likely. Guerin has spoken at length about how they are going to do their rebuild properly. Draft and develop and be patient before bringing prospects up. They are winning games because of character/culture but they have holes and a lack of high end talent to really contend. Those high end prospects/picks are too important to build that perennial elite contending team (Guerin’s mandate). They also have circa 15M in buyout cap hits starting next season for 3 years. Vancouver is the team reeling and looking for a change. Guerin has shown that he is extremely patient and will even back out of deals if he doesn’t get what he wants. Dumba never ended being traded as he didn’t get the Top-6 C he was looking for. He waited for Rutherford to include Addison in the deal. The Wild don’t have pressure to make a deal and can always target futures in the off-season instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
