Blues pass. Couldn't even afford it if they wanted to.

I don't think we should trade Horvat anymore, he's been too good and he's too important to the team.

Eh, canes don't need another RD, that was the whole point of the bear trade. And there's not really an LD on vancouver that makes sense for the canes to get.

Caps pass.

Horvat is scoring at an insane rate, which will not continue. And Iorio is too important to the Caps, as they have very limited RHD prospects. Iorio is supposedly having a great year in AHL (Hershey) and could be ready for some NHL minutes possibly next year -> in 2 years definitely.

I don't think the team has any choice but to trade him since they prioritized on Miller first after they overplayed their hand on a trade and signed him instead

That could definitely be the case. Horvat should be moved if and only if he's not interested in re-signing, which is possible given the circumstances not likely as of right now.
