Package Canucks need hit on is Young stud d 1st round pick 3rd line centre my options.

Red wings-Simon Edvinsson, D, 2023 1st Top 5 protected, Michael Rasmussen

Leafs-Topi Niemela, D, 2023 1st, Alex kerfoot 

Columbus- David Jiricek, 2023 top 5 projected Sean Kuraly

Carolina- Scott morrow, 2023 1st, Seth Jarvis 

 

If those are your expectations, I think you're going to be very disappointed. The Toronto suggestion is probably the most reasonable one.

 

From Columbus, if they are willing to offer up Jiricek it's likely only as a one-for-one (maybe a mid round pick throw in). 

 

From Detroit and Carolina you're asking for their top prospect plus their top young center and then a 1st on top of that. We would be lucky with 2 out of 3.

 

I still feel the best comparable for a possible Horvat trade is the Giroux trade last year. Highly touted but slightly struggling young player/prospect, a 1st, and a 3rd. If the Canucks are somehow able to get more than that it's a robbery.

not questioning the hits here.  Ive seen a number of posters bring up fighting and backing down from scrums (as a criticism of Horvat) my point is...dont expect Petey to do any of that either.  And rightfully so, its not a prerequisite to be a captain (neither is hitting imho)

Nobody has to fight, but Petey hits, plays a great two way 200’ game, engages the opposition and even plays goalie on occasion. Perfect captain material IMO…

Jack Eichel didn’t even as good of a return as you’re suggesting for Horvat. Bo will land a couple of good prospects (not Edvinsson or Jiricek good), and a 1st.

The next captaincy is actually a tough call. I think both Petey and Miller would chafe under the responsibility. 
 

OEL and Hughes could do it but neither seem like a good fit.
 

Id seriously consider Schenn even on a very short term basis. Or one of the Russians.  Just stick a microphone in Kuzmenko’s face even night.  I think he’d enjoy it.

Pettersson is by far the most obvious choice once Horvat is gone but does Petey want it, I wonder. I don’t think he particularly likes the media and they will be all over him like stink on poo

I'm gonna stick to my guns and say Horvat re-signs.  This is the exact same song and dance we just went through with Miller, "Sides are far apart".   My best guess is, someone gets traded and Bo re-signs.  

 

If not, we might as well call the Rogers Arena, Apollo Theatre, nothing but amateurs on the management team.

I agree, he will sign. This is just posturing from both sides.

Schenn gets the C for me if Bo does get traded.  He'll hold the team accountable and has seen what it takes to be a championship team.  Bonus points for also being the Sheriff on the team.

Schenn needs to be traded while he’s worth something. A captain won’t be named this season
