"Sorry I live in Canada, I'd much rather have $20CAD (Horvat) than $100USD (Karlsson)"
That's basically how dumb your arguement is. Karlsson can get you 5 Horvats. Just because your rebuilding doesn't mean you turn down the much more valuable asset, you take Karlsson and you flip him for way more than Horvat.
I can't believe this has to be said multiple times to canuck fans. Apologies to the few nucks fans here that actually understand hockey.
Idk, maybe because that player is the best defenceman in the world?
Or maybe because he literally carried a crappy team to one goal away from the SCF a year ago?
Or maybe because he has 2 Norris trophies and multiple nominations?
Or maybe because he has multiple times the value of Bo Horvat?
Or maybe because Vancouver could probably flip Karlsson for alot more than what Horvat is worth if the trade went down?
Jeez, other than that I can't really think of why Vancouver would do this....
I can't believe it has to be said multiple times that flipping Karlsson is no guarantee and flipping a player is not exactly a common occurrence in the NHL. When was the last time a player of value was directly flipped? It doesn't happen often. With the position the Canucks franchise is in, trading away their future captain for a player who we cannot guarantee would play more than 82 games for us and we cannot guarantee we could turn around trade would be a poor, risky decision. No one is questioning that Karlsson is far and away the better and more valuable player in this situation. But there are a lot of other factors to be considered.
