Quoting: Knuckl3s
Oh there will be a huge bidding war for Horvat, I guarantee you, and you don't even come up with any evidence to support your claim of otherwise. Go back and read the title. If Knies isn't available, than Horvat to the Leafs will cost either Liljigren or Niemela +
Lilligren or Carlo or Girard any other top 4 RHD /D (young & controllable) is strictly fantasy land
. I know canuckle fans live there year round but literally No CHANCE
.
I asked which teams? Do some research; any interested team needs to meet several criteria:
1/ legit stanley cup contender; no one wasting significant assets on a rental if no hope of winning this year; prob 8-10 teams
2/ team needs cap space or comfortable moving out current roster piece(s) to fit him; tricky b/c a lot of competitive teams are up against the cap or on ltir (not acquiring space) or winning so don’t want to mess with winning roster
3/ team needs help at centre and can fit Horvat in PP1; a lot of teams are prioritizing D and PP1 lineup set so difficult to justify asset price if he’s playing 3C & PP2
Combining above - not that many teams, imo. Plus when you consider there will be lots of other FA forwards available, I just don’t see that many teams interested enough to go beyond 1st + prospect.
