I'd be shocked if Bo signed here for anything less than 50-52M total. Which would be a cap hit of 6.25-6.5. Would be a great deal and would be Bo leaving a bit of money on the table. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could certainly get in the 7s on the open market tho. Bo's never had this kind of support around him, I think he will take a bit of a haircut to make an attempt at a run with these guys. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He likes VCR, but the rumours of them being far apart, made me suggest that one of the reasons could be BO wanting to see ambition from the club. They've shown that by committing to Miller, and I think 6.5ish x8 or 7x7 will fit perfectly in with the structure... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His tenure here is long, and I just don't know how much of a "team friendly" deal Bo would be willing to make, if any at all. I'm thinking it'll take 7.25x8 to get him signed, anything less would certainly be a bonus for the squad moving forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.B Cooper Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 26 minutes ago, spook007 said: What??? I suggested 6.5-7M x 7-8 years. Thought Miller got 8M? Are you suggesting that Bo can't get 7M on the open market, or that he should barely get a pay rise after suffering with this team the last 8years? I'll be very surprised, if he doesn't get between 6.5-7 for most likely 7-8 years. Bo is better at FO and has been playing with lots of scrubs as wingers, while Miller has played with EP in particular. What? I agreed with you. Hahah 6.5-7 is fair for sure 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn’t even hit PPG. 7 mill is more than fair IMO His career high is 66 points. His extension will run until he's either 35 or 36. i doubt he'll sign for less than 7 years. I think even 7m may be too high if we're talking team friendly deals running to mid 30's. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might not have gotten the same winger help previously but even as of last season that's probably different with Garland's arrival, plus he's done well with Pearson. Agreed with the second bold; I hope he agrees to $6-$6.5 million * 7 years. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After Millers new contract Bo will, want something not far off... The fact BO likes Vancouver, shouldn't mean he should be screwed.

Probably obvious to all of us, but still a reminder and a rough estimate of where things may be at in negotiations. Extension candidate: Canucks captain Bo Horvat (msn.com) Sorry to say but Bo is no #1 Center and so you need to ask what we are going to pay our #2 Center. Considering what Petey and Miller are getting, I don't see much room in being generous with Bo. I think the 6.5 range would be fair. I think we really need to concentrate on those players truly wanting to win a championship first and foremost. Other then Miller, we have not seen too many Canucks willing to make that sacrifice. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. If BO doesn’t want to take a team friendly deal and wants #1 centre type money then we should trade him. Petey won the Calder and is a point a game player. Miller is a 99 point player, plays multiple positions and is a vocal leader of this team. BO is a 2C and should be paid accordingly. Ryan Kesler won the Selke trophy and was our best ever 2C. I don’t recall him ever getting the same money as the Sedins. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extension candidate: Canucks captain Bo Horvat (msn.com) Don't get the article by McIntyre... He starts with saying Petey has played a lot of time as a winger, but he is a natural centre, so Canucks can't afford Bo, cause you can't have the 3 centers playing as it takes up 24M? Then play him on Millers wing, or Miller on his wing,... The fact they both can play both Centre and wing should be a blessing and not a hindrance of us signing Bo (if that's the way they chose to move forward). Plenty of wingers to be shopped if need be. We have to make room for the wingers coming through (hopefully) in the coming years starting with Klim, Karlsson etc, all on cheaper deals... I think there is plenty of room, as long as Petey doesn't go ballistic. We've got plenty of wingers making more than 5M if we want to free up space, and by the time Petey's contract needs to be extended, wingers like Pearson and Dickinson will come off the books... If the choice is between Bo and BB/Garland, I know, who I'd choose.... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
