For people sh***ing on Horvat, he plays MVP-calibre hockey when the stakes are higher. Unfortunately, this franchise has had a small sample size of big-game hockey since he was drafted, but he was TERRIFIC in the bubble. Even in 2015 vs. Calgary (as a rookie), he showed that he had another gear. Bo is the least of our issues when it comes to winning big-game hockey. Trading him would be very regrettable. 

Yup. These Bo “is too nice” comments are ridiculous. You can add “truculence” elsewhere on the roster and I actually think we could use some more. Bo does so many other things very well (goal scoring) and has some skills (face offs) right up there among the elite in the league. So what if running guys through the boards isn’t in his game. 

 

And because we don’t need more of this….Bo has proven he’s a playoff type of player when given the opportunity. Need to increase the overall talent around him and the rest of the core so he can show his playoff chops off again.
