It truly shows how pathetic Canucks ownership (and Benning) are. We tried to be good and sucked, wasted assets to try and be good and now we still suck. Devils sucking was planned, they hordes assets and now they are good. If we had just rebuilt like fans wanted, we'd be a good team today...probably. Though Benning would have still found a way to screw it up.

Yes, we need a full rebuild. A retool is for a team that needs tweaks. The Canucks need an exorcism at this point.
Not unheard of for teams to show they have options.
I'm surprised Boston wasn't mentioned because both Bergeron and Krejci are nearing the end, Bergeron is going to be what? 38 next year? Krejci will be 36? and that's IF they come back.
They need the next guy.

Just as a rental and to have a crazy good 3c. It's been done before.
That said probably not a move I'd make as NJ.
I've heard them mentioned previously and one of their fans pointed out the Bruins have the cap to keep him. They usually get the best guy every year so I'd wait for it.
We can see that and it's likely that the pundits see that, though aren't a lot of these reports who they are hearing are looking into the player rather than just projecting best fit?
Two other points - the Bruins don't seem to operate much in the rumor world in terms of acquisitions. Maybe I'm missing that a lot of info has been leaked about guys going there in trade in the past, but it doesn't seem like their MO. And outside of Lysell, does Boston have the futures to make the best bid to get a deal done?
Probably not but I would say they need to because if they don't their center depth could be completely gutted VERY quickly

This i what I’m thinking . Also might Fitz trying to increase the cost of Horvat for other east teams like Canes and Rangers .
Kippers tweet says Devils “may” be interested in Horvat . I think he is just making his own assumptions as Devils are in a good spot and very very likely looking to add to their roster for the playoffs.
Fitz will NOT spend a lot of assets on acquiring a player unless it is a long term addition.
For numerous reasons , Meier makes more sense for the Devils .
Mayyyyybe Horvat is plan B or C or ? I’d rather try for Tarasenko if we dont land Meier….

Don't put too much stock in that guy's list. That's the second time he's posted it and he doesn't include Carolina. The Hurricanes have absolutely shown interest in Horvat according to reputable sources.
Krypeos is not Vancouver media lol
weird. it's almost as if horvat is a good player and other teams realize that which is why every team is in on him.

Last year, it was Garland, then Boeser and then Miller to NJ. Now Horvat.
So right, sure. NJ has "interest."

Though I doubt many bottom teams will trade for him. A lot of fans really undervalue the 8th year. For Horvat, we can sign with a team he wants now as if it were UFA, getting the 8th year in gets him more money than he will on a 7 year. For the team acquiring, they get the guarantee of his services and don't risk him going to UFA, but that 8th year usually lowers the AAV as well.
I still say he goes as a rental. Teams likely arent willing to offer what the Canucks want for a signed Horvat, so they won't give permission for his agent to talk to them.

NJ would be beyond stupid to not have interest. If they don't, fire their GM immediately. NJ probably aren't serious about anything on the Canucks and what it will take to get the assets.
Dallas ?
Has Dallas and Vancouver made a trade with eachother lately? There is beef between the owners.
I dont think they've made a trade with eachother in a while, and now were supposed to believe the Canucks will trade them their biggest trade asset in 25 years?
I dont see it

Big time rentals are overrated imo, so if they don't have interest in him long term, I have no issues with Fitz not having any interest.

Horvat would be a 3c in NJ. This makes no sense at all. We all know who NJ’s target on Vancouver would be and that’s not very likely.
Hughes, sure. Since we would want Nemec back in any deal, you're right that it is impossible.
Going to change that to improbable. Jack and Luke could definitely pressure Management into doing it. your star Centre and future star Dman...
Bruins gonna be cap broke for a year with Krejci and Bergeron bonuses plus Pasta and Zacha raises plus needing to give Swayman and Frederic deals. It’s a hard time to go grab an expensive UFA contract. There are plenty of interesting names the next off-season. Heck maybe they make a run at Matthews

If only Vancouver could just figure out a way to keep horvat. They are choosing to keep players like ekman Larson boeser and garland over horvat. And now they just resigned kuzmenko as well.

It would have to be, maybe just fishing and see what's the cost to Horvat compared to a Miere right now so that Fitz has an idea
