KyGuy123 Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 This is our RHD bluechip Prospect we are looking for if we end up trading Bo. Do not screw this up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kobayashi Maru Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 3 hours ago, billabong said: Teams with the sexy players I want in a Horvat deal are NYR, COL and CBJ. schneider, chytil, kakko, byram, girard, newhook, roslovic, boqvist, peeke, sillinger, etc… Some say Boston because of Carlo but Carlo isn't playing top 4 minutes in Boston so I don’t think he’s the player he used to be Those are some really nice options. I still personally believe it will be Carolina for Kotkaniemi, Morrow and a 1st. Kotkaniemi will find his game and earn that contract (I know many are not convinced) which is middle six money this day and age. Gives us an young middle six NHL C, a true RD prospect and a late 1st to build out our pipeline. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure they have no interest in moving Wahlstrom but maybe they part with a roster player like Simon Holmstrom + Bolduc + first? Wahlstrom yes but they’re not giving him up and Holmstrom is a fine prospect but plays a position we just have so much depth in. We have so many wingers on this team it’s crazy. Then we have 2 better winger prospects not even on the team in Podkolzin and Lekkerimaki. There will be a ton of playoff teams asking about Horvat! Teams with much better assets that play the premium positions we lack in the system. We need at least a good center or RHD prospect coming back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kotkaniemi could be a decent gamble. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am torn to say I would make a trade for him, but leaning on a yes. Newhook is same category but not injury based. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he signs with Boston, I just cannot cheer for Bo. No way. With that being said, I still am holding out a tiny bit of hope that Bo signs here in Van and stays a career Canuck. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's had multiple concussions already and he's so young still. His career could be done with one more major hit. I'd still be interested in the Rangers as a partner and what they would have to offer. Schneider would have to be one of the parts coming back, and a few other pieces as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Byram is exceptional talent and he will become a top 15 NHL defenseman if he stays healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll guess BOS, for the extra sting. Seems like a Canucks outcome. (Cs) Krejci and Bergeron are most likely gone after this season. to BOS - Horvat (25% retained this season) and Schenn to VAN - Carlo, Lysell and a 1st 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EP will be overjoyed popping champagnes, but why not we have so many bad contracts let's add another 8 years of bad contract.. let's use up whatever cap we freed up with Bo and use it all up by replacing it with 8 years of a guy that's no where close to earning his contract.. you know the money that was suppose to be freed up to either re-sign kuz or get a rhd?? but nah let's just dump it back on more bad contracts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Newhook was winning faceoffs I’d be okay with him as the piece but he’s 30% and likely trending towards being a winger in the NHL. I’ve got a firm stance on needing to acquire a Center or Dman as I feel like we almost have too many wingers and not enough of those other positions. Byram is the only piece I like and I’d take the risk if they were willing to move him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughes would fetch a lot and may be somewhat redundant if Byram is here. Byrams injury history scares me though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Byram wouldn’t have much value. he’s made of porcelain he makes Sammie Salo look like an Ironman. 3 concussion by 21 =red flag 3 years in the league and has played a total of 59 games His career high is 30. he’s only played 10 this season due to injuries. Last thing we need is a top dman who’s out more than he’s in even if he’s great when he’s in. Just to risky. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
