I’m a Canucks fan and the thing to keep in mind is that you can’t just acquire a Nashville d man and think that they are going to step in and do great. The reality is, they are good because of how they are developed. The Canucks rarely if ever develop minor league d into NHL level players…
Not just defense but all players, expecting to acquire an 18-22 year old player and have them work out because they are a good prospect with Nashville or another team is futile. It’s about development and the Canucks don’t develop players.
If I’m dealing Horvat, I’m targeting multiple picks and hoping something hits….
There’s so negativity around this team that I’m actually surprised they haven’t made a deal to change the narrative…
The sad thing is they are about to sign Kuzmenko long term and likely deal Horvat.
