They lack the depth to fill the hole. With Sutter and Dorsett out, bo was at 23 minutes against Nashville because he plays all situations.Im going to be that guy...
This is awful short term, but might put us in a position to really kick up the rebuild at trade deadline (By not being in the playoff hunt)
The fear is that they make an upgrade-now trade to compensate for the loss, though.Im going to be that guy...

That is odd. I was at the game and the injury looked to be the result of a un-penalized hit from behind.
Regardless, a horrible result to be sure. We really don't have any other options for a 1st line C. Henrik looked like he was skating in glue playing a very mobile team in Carolina... what to do?
Yep. Clean break is often much less problematic down the road.Bad news with the team playing well. When I heard MRI I was fearing ACL so at least it is better news than that.
The Canucks are 3rd in the division and people are talking tank? Seems kind of weird to me.
... and if we somehow do stay in the race with horvat out... then Benning probably has a legitimate reason to be buyers this year (tho he better not part with some of our recent picks or ncaa prospects...).

Ok, this I fail to understand.
How can a rebuilding team EVER have an excuse to be a buyer at the trade deadline?
The term "buyer" as it relates to the deadline generally is used to refer to a team trading for immediate help. When you trade you have to give up something, so a seller gives the immediate help and receives future value.
It's scary to see someone suggest that there could be a legitimate reason to give up futures for a better chance at the playoffs this season.
