Horvat will captain a NHL team in the future. IMO he's a top 15... This kid can do everything and very well. He will be a better all around NHLer the Domi.

I saw him put on defensive displays at 16 that some 19 year olds in the OHL can't do. It's not all about offense in the NHL this can is top 6 material and a player that any coach would to coach.
