Drance was predicting $7.5M for Horvat which is looking like a more reasonable prediction. I said BO would get 7x7 on the open market and people laughed. Thinking he would sign for $6 million. I'd take Horvat any day over Nichushkin. If Nichushkin is getting $49 million then Horvat is getting well over $50 million. 7.125x8 is my prediction... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BPA Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Wow. One good season of just 50pts get him $6M+ x 8yrs. Think that is an overpayment. Some posters on CDC think Boeser was overpaid was only worth $5M. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustard Tiger Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Oh wow they gave him what I would max out at with horvat. Interesting 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting It’s these kinds of deal why (IMHAO) we should trade Bo. No way No signs for less that 7 mil x 8 years. And that’s just too much for him. Honestly, we need to trade both Bo and Miller (like Sakic did with ROR and ?Duchene) and rebuild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HKSR Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 The Avs have guys that are replaceable... Nichuskin is not easily replaceable because of his ability to take over a game with his size and strength. He's a part of their core now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone on the team would take as close to a team friendly deal it's Bo imo. I'm okay with 8 years if the dollar is this number. He probably has a job once he retires from hockey as well. Also, We have already drafted and developed the superstar D, C and G. You have to support them between now and the very near future. There is no rebuild on the horizon with those 3 on the team Edited July 11, 2022 by Mustard Tiger Added Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He already said he wants to play for a competitive team. We trade 2/3 of our best offensive players to do full re-build then we will not be competitive when Petey's deal is up. And if we trade both of them, might as well go all in and trade Demko and really tank it up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometime people here don't understand reality What it comes down to is lack of awareness when it comes to anything outside our market. It's time consuming to be a diehard canucks fan like many are here... so I don't really blame them Crazy overvaluing our own player, Crazy undervaluing other teams players though and we see the results of it with nearly every post on every topic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kobayashi Maru Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Years and years of Nuke being a bust and Horvat being the clear steal, and now they are completely even as far as value. Big props to Nuke for getting himself on track and becoming a core player for a Cup Winning team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herberts Vasiljevs Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 (edited) Wow. Happy for Nuke and happy for the Avs. One of my favourite players in the league and favourite player to watch in the SCF. Skill, size, strength and two-way acumen.

WHL rocks Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Awesome player. Top tier 2 way player with size and hustle. After 5 years salary drops to 4.8 mill for final 3 seasons. He'll be tradeable at that time.. The guy hustles and back checks with the best of them. Top 20 defensive forward in the league and puts up goals and points. Nichushkin was COL number one target to re sign out of their UFAs. Not surprised at all Sakic prioritized Nichushkin to get re signed and remain an Avalanche player.. I made a post about it earlier this morning. Avs had to retain this guy. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHL rocks Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Horvat doesn't deserve more than Nichushkin. Besides Horvat being a C Nichushkin is the better player. Because Horvat is a C I think Horvat is worth same money and term. If both were wings Nichushkin is the better player.. so being C makes Horvats value same as Nichushkin.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pts are just the icing on the cake. The guy is a true beast all over the ice. Can't compare the two players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnAntoski Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Typical, Sakic contract: high value contract with added years to bring down the yearly cap hit. Plus, he was a FA signing - will this be the one gamble where Sakic losses cause last year, was his contract & best year ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
