Vancouver doesn't need more wingers, the need 3C and RD help.

And if the Blues can't afford either O'Reilly or Tarasenko. Then there's no way they can afford Horvat whom is going to cost far more than either of those two.

Doesn't mean that's a bad package. If anything, it might not be enough to outbid what other team's offer VAN for Bo

there truly is almost no options in acquiring the top pairing RHD that we need unless we consider trading Horvat to the kings. the blues have most of their team locked up long term and they can pay 9 mill to horvat. They have no significant RFA signings coming up either. Acquiring and signing horvat would be a decent move to compete for the next 3-4 years for the blues.

Blues can pay that to Horvat IF they let both O'Reilly and Taresenko walk, and whoever said the Canucks need a top pairing defender? How about a pair of 2nd pair caliber defenders?

even 2nd pair defenders, there really isnt much available around the league that would be helpful to our team. and if we trade horvat to a contender, the chances of us returning any NHL level defenders at all is pretty much zero. if we want to get some defence via a horvat trade, best bet would be in the form of prospects/picks but we won't get a young NHL caliber 2nd pair defender in return most likely.

Could get Girard from Colorado
