Acquiring Johnsson with a pick so NJ has more room to make a bigger move. It’s all about the contract and not the player.
Extremely unlikely
Jiricek or Johnson for Horvat would be pretty sick and the additional 1st is the high end of what we are gonna get. Doubtful it’s gonna be 3 of those
I’d dod Jiricek straight up
We're not getting any of those pieces.
Columbus is obviously not trading for Horvat. Horvat is equally obviously not signing in Columbus.
I agree with @pitseleh that it’s unlikely there is a player with both high potential and low bust rate available. I’m am thinking someone like Wyatt Johnson in Dallas. Otherwise you are looking at a more average NHLer with lower potential, or a bluechip prospect (but probably not Shane Wright level) or mid to late first round pick.
To expand on the point, contending teams are not looking to trade already contributing players. Like, the net effect of upgrading from Johnson to Horvat just isn’t going to be anywhere as enticing as trading pure futures for a deadline pickup. You could target a worse player than Horvat and end with a better net effect by just trading futures, and you’d be better off in the long run. So it’s not surprising that the early 20 productive players, with potential, don’t get traded at the trade deadline.

Take with a pinch of salt but krufrank on twitter is charging NJD & the Vancouver Canucks are talking trade
Right now its Holtz for Boeser w/ 30% retained. Hold up is the Vancouver Canucks want a pick for retention
Personally that sounds far fetched but who knows

Is that just some random Twitter guy? Who cares? (no offense)
Works for me. I’m not sure what type of pick we’d get, but any mid pick works. Saves us 4mil per year in cap space over the next two years, and we get a younger potential replacement.

Go ahead foot
The deal would be done if that were true I think. Dumping 4.65MM over 2 years of Boeser's deal and getting a legit prospect who stepped into the AHL last year and was a star player down there. Uhhh yup.
Agreed, plus Holtz was 5th or 6th overall fairly recently so hard to imagine NJD adding for retention
I hate the new stupid checkmark system on Twitter. Nobody would have paid the slightest attention to this guy a few months ago.
Not a dig at you; I saw the same Tweet and paused for a second because the checkmark still instinctively gives stuff authenticity.

With out a second thought. Jiricek is better than Luke Hughes his stats in the AHL are phenomenal. Plus he is RHD.

Devils are the kind of team that could probably get Boeser back on track. Lots of puck carriers that would open up time and space for him.

Slightly more credible than a random Twitter blue subscriber, here’s “Canucks and Islanders have made a trade” David Pagnotta:
I received information that trade discussions involving Horvat have picked up a fair amount. One source even suggested a move is expected sooner than later.
Carolina, Colorado, Seattle, Vegas, Boston, Dallas and the New York Rangers have all expressed interest in Horvat, and there have been others. The price tag remains high, but it sounds like progress is being made and my spidey senses are tingling.
Lots of talk and reports about the New Jersey Devils. Yeah, we’ve contributed to that – but for good reason. Devils GM Tom Fitzgerald wants to add a winger, that much is clear. He’s in the Timo Meier race, and there have been talks with the Canucks about Brock Boeser.
More Vancouver talk!! If the team can’t trade Conor Garland by the start of buyout window in the summer, I believe he’s one of the players management considers buying out, as Jim Rutherford suggested.

Boeser for a 4th is also a steal. These rumours make zero sense but hope to be wrong.
Dude you are going to be very disappointed come TDL
