Vancouver would be ****ing lucky if Horvat ever sniffed 40 goals like Kadri while playing Selke level defense. Horvat is closer to a poor man's Bozak, and even that's overrating a guy who was a -30 two years ago.
Yeah, we really need some better players. The most we should hope for in return for Tanev is a guy like Josh Leivo (instantly would become our top prospect) and a signed Nylander jersey to put in the rafters of Rogers Arena, in the hopes that we too can one day be graced with such talent.
Kadri has never sniffed 40 goals. He got 32 once playing the full 82 games. His highest total other than that is 20. Kadri is a great player now but at Horvat's age he struggled to get in the lineup on a terrible Toronto team.
Horvat at 21 years old lead a terrible team with 52 points. He got 20 goals earlier in his career than Kadri did.
Also using plus minus to discredit players that play on terrible teams is silly. It's a team stat. It's like trying to use goals against per game for goalies. That being said Kadri has been a minus player most of his career. Doesn't really help your Kadri to Horvat comparison
Josh Leivo would be our top prospect? You must be trolling!
