Man, Greed is such a nasty human trait. Just glad his true colors is being shown before we sign him for another 7-8 years. Unfortunately we have had players like him before on this club and is probably why we have had no Championship to speak of.

Some players chase a Cup and some chase the Money$$.

Sounds similar to the BS talk during the Miller contract negotiations.

Many of you know how strongly I advocated for re-signing Miller.  Well, this should be fun cuz I truly think Horvat needs to be traded this time.  Boeser as well.  Let's do this!

Horvat, Boeser and Pearson. If JR can pull this off and get a true 3C and a couple legit top 4 Dmen plus a 2nd round pick for those 3 guys I will never call him grandpa ever again.

I would be happy with just picks at this point and have the additional Cap Space to improve the team somewhere down the road,

Honestly, I don't think it is all about the money.  Ever since Miller arrived BO has been 2nd fiddle.  Miller took his game to the next level, BO didn't.  Miller was the guy they signed first, so BO is feeling neglected and disrespected.  Miller is the vocal leader of this team and BO doesn't like that.  BO feels he is a 1C and we already have 2 of them.

 

I think this is a case where BO has checked out and just wants to move on.  Unless the Canucks are willing to offer him over $7.5 million, I don't think there will be a deal to be made here.

Maybe Corey Hirsch had it right after all then.

this is quite the vivid fantasy you've fabricated out of nothing.

It doesnt really make sense that Bo is playing “disinterested”

This is a contract year afterall

 

If Bo has a sh!t year, he’s going to have a tough time asking for what he wants.
 

If Bo wants out, he’ll demand a trade. He isn’t going to half ass his way to free agency only to drop his stock and have less bargaining power.

JTM took his offensive game to the next level and abandoned all pretence of defensive play. 
Last night was a great example of a high event player both ways. Goal and assist and terrible giveaways leading to goals. 
Bo is not the same type of player as JTM and has in no way played second fiddle. 
Bo is first PP, PKs and comes out for most important faceoffs, a role JTM can’t be trusted with.

Some new comments from his agent.

 

https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/bo-horvats-agent-comments-on-contract-extension-talks-with-canucks/

 

Doesn't sound super positive.

 

"Some of these things take time," Morris continued. "It's not every single player that gets an extension. If there's a disagreement, it doesn't happen. If there's not a meeting of the minds or a consensus, you can't get something done. You're always hopeful when you start out. Vancouver always told me they like Bo Horvat a lot and they have him under contract for this year, but not beyond unfortunately."

who can live on a poultry 6mil a year? i don't think is more than a 6.750 mil player.  contracts are all getting out of control.

Not really, NHL contracts are relatively small in comparison to the other big north American professional sports. Cap is supposed to go up over the next few years, so will contracts for every level of player.

In a cap world where superstars are going to take contracts in the 12-16M range going forward 2C's are gonna get paid too. Hell, even non-superstar 1C's are gonna get paid. MacKinnon is top dog now but you've got guys like Matthews, Draisaitl, and McDavid coming down the pipeline. Just wait. GM's will continually make things harder for each other each and every time.

JR/PA can trade Bo any time they want to for picks and prospects, 1C or not. He'd be highly sought after by most teams. 

 

The issue isn't if we can trade him, its what we're willing to live with in return because its the same problem with Miller, there won't be that unicorn #1RHD on offer. 

 

I think the chances are a bit equal of Bo landing a RHD vs Miller.   All depends on the team he's going to, and there would be a lot of suitors for Bo.  He might even get more than Miller just from being younger and possibly having another level offensively/defensively.

 

I prefer to re-sign him but if he's priced himself out then there's no choice but to ship him out.

The chances is close to 0 you get the rhd from moving bo. Not without an extension in place. I don’t see Bo willing to extend with any team traded unless he’s being overpaid. Why extend when you can go into ufa pick and choose where you go? If this is the way the canucks are treating him then if I was bo I would not have extension in place with any team he’s traded to. Even if he were to re-sign with them he would wait till off season as it would benefit the future team he’s on lower cost to trade for him and he wouldn’t give a f what happens with the canucks if that’s the scenario

How exactly are the Canucks treating him?  By all accounts he's happy here.  He's one of the faces of the franchise and the Captain.  If anything, it's the fans that treat him like crap with all the trade him/take the captaincy away talk.

 

All this will most likely be much a do about nothing.  Bo will re-sign on a slight deal, stay captain and not have to move his young family to a new city/country.  This is what I'd do if I was Bo.

This is totally false information.  Miller is the leader of the PP, even directs traffic for the other players. BO literally plays the least important position on the PP which is the bumper spot. 
 

Miller also plays on the first unit PK and lead all forwards in PK ice time last night with 1:17 versus BO’s 0:50. 
 

Miller was also playing against McDavid. He took 20 face offs and won 11 of them for 55%. He also scored a goal and had an assist. 
 

BO floated around the entire evening looking like he wanted to be somewhere else. The only contribution he made was his face offs and a token 2nd assist on the PP. 

 

Petey had 3 hits last night. Miller had 2. BO had 1.  Podkolzon set up BO at least 5 times last night and BO couldn’t score on any of those chances. 

 

We don’t need to pay a 3C $7 million+ to take face offs and play the bumper spot on the PP.

I think EP is a good case study for Bo.

 

In order for the Canucks to crment themselves as a playoff team, they need their top players to at least play up to/out perform their contracts.

 

EP is showing that.  Can/will Bo do the same?  

 

Its only been 1 game so of course there needs to be patience, which is why I think MGMT are taking their time with this.
