The last thing the Canucks need are expensive wingers

The Canucks aren’t trading their captain for an expensive winger needing a more expensive contract

Canucks pass. No need for Bertuzzi

Bertuzzi won’t be that expensive. Less than Boeser. I think for what Bertuzzi will come in at plus Rasmussen cap hit combined. It will still be lower than Horvats cap hit. But Vancouver is unlikely to pry out a top 6 Center from any team in exchange for Horvat. Teams are looking to add to their Center depth in any deal for Horvat. Not swap top 6 centres and get the pricier contract in exchange.

I'm not expecting any team's top 6 centers in return. I'm expecting picks and either young players/prospects

FYI Canucks are on record saying they want top established NHL players in exchange. They do not want picks and prospects. They’d take a Tyler Bertuzzi if they can lock him up over a 1st round pick or 1st round prospect. They want to compete next season. Sorry dude. You likely won’t be happy with the results of the upcoming Horvat trade.

FYI they want players in the 20-25 range not pending UFAs. Sorry dude.

They want players in their low 20s. Why would the Canucks trade Horvat for somebody is age but is also way worse, and going to be very expensive? 0 logic there.

I’ve seen the trades Canucks fans make on here. They think they’ll get an A prospect or a top 20-25 year old player + a 1st Round pick for Horvat who’s a pending UFA and won’t be resigning. Not exactly oozing with logic.

Bert just doesn't make sense for Vancouver
