Both have shown they are great in the playoffs as well, Of course Horvat with a smaller sample size.Horvat might end up a better offensive player than ROR, but I think he's got a ways to go to come close to the defensive impact.
Oof, can you imagine CBJ desperation trading their 2023 first, only for it to turn out to be Bedard?I can absolutely see some team who is desperate for a center give Horvat 9m.
CBJ are the most obvious team

I still remember that Horvat vs Blues Series, He was ridiculous both sides of the ice.
Man we need to trade Horvat now before he comes back to earth come on Alvin sell high !!
Seems about right to me given his overall career numbers and the age he'll be by the end of the contract. In fact it may even be considered and overpay in the second half.Offering $9m is steep, but surely $5.125m is a ridiculous low ball.
Horvat signs an $8mm x 8 year deal or if he can only get seven years. 7 x $8.33mm?With what Norris, Thomas and Kyrou have gotten I have no idea why Horvat wouldn’t get that at UFA. Kadri got 7x7 at his age.
He'll certainly get 8+, and it's certainly going to be a contract the team regrets very very quickly.9 is wayyy too high but he gets an easy 8+ on the market
9 Million? On what planet?
To be totally fair to Bo that was also RORs breakout season and he was pretty comparable to him up until that point. That said Horvat will need to continue to build on his hot start to prove that he’s breaking out as well.At the age of 27 ROR put up 77 points in 82 games, which was good for 19th among all centers
He also won the Selke and Conn Smythe that season so.....
Oh. Sounds like a cool planet, i’d live there.On the planet known as top UFA center
Horvat likely signs an $8mm x 8 deal or if he can only get seven years. 7 x $8.33mm?
Sound realistic?
Wow. $9mm x 7 or 8 years would be hard for Vancouver to allocate with their cap issues.Probably. I could see him hitting 9. He’s proven he’s a playoff caliber top six center in his two runs. And is basically good for 30 goals a year plus 50-60 point.
That would be why we've consistently said that the 2023 1st is not available in a trade. Not that we're getting Bedard anyways, but Kekalainen isn't that stupid.Oof, can you imagine CBJ desperation trading their 2023 first, only for it to turn out to be Bedard?
One thing that needs to be mentioned about Horvat is that other than Bergeron, He might be the best Faceoff guy in the NHL, Nasty in the dot.
I wonder if his defensive game is gonna round out over time, Would be a special player if he ever did.
Thank god the Oilers dont have cap for that. Whatever team pays him 9+ and thinks they will get the player of this year as opposed to the player he has always been will regret the signing. This year is the outlier, not the previous 8 years where he is at best a 25G-35A guyOuch, I just hope it isn't my team. Someone getting burned bad overpaying Horvat is almost a dead certainty at this point, teams need to stay as far away as possible.
