<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CMcAvoy73</b></div><div>It’s unreadable though. You’re posting with the intention of others reading your post. If you’re writing what should be seven sentences without any punctuation, its just not easy to read. Simple literacy stuff here.

As for why horvat would walk, you’re really going to say all that and accuse others of being homers? Well lets count the ways shall we:
1. He would be hitting UFA at 28. That’s an age where teams seem comfortable going max term and overpaying - hitting the market maximizes his value.
2. Let me preface this by saying this is not my opinion, it just seems to be accepted as fact given how frequently front office types speak of it. I love vancouver, its my favorite city in North America. I love canada. Amazing country. But players don’t want to be there. GMs constantly say that if a player has a 10 team no trade list, 9 times out of 10, all canadian teams are on it. It’s likely mostly a tax issue. Players make way more money in the states. It is what it is.
3. The Canucks are bad. They’re not terrible, but it just doesn’t seem like they’re going to be a contender any time soon. The center market is thin, horvat, while not being a top line player, would likely be able to pick a team that has some better pieces.

It’s pretty easy to see why horvat would at the very least test the market. Pretty hard to see why bergeron would.</div></div>

I agree with all of these points, hence the reason why I think it is very plausible for him to test the market and really could be paid somewhere in that ballpark, it might not be 9.5 but a 2-way C that scores 30 goals could command that, this is a deal made in the season as a potential rental into extension, I think that its likely vancouver won't be in contention. Debrusk could be a nice piece for them, Studnicka is unknown, Zboril got off to a great start before blowing out his knee, and the 1st is an essential in a trade for him. I think Carlo has fallen a little bit out of favor, hes at his best when you don't notice him. I think all in all the Bruins could be in the market to shuffle the deck on the defensive side, as well as that true 2c that can be 1c when Bergeron is gone (closer than we think it is). As good as Haula has played this is more of the reasoning than Haula. Horvat is one of the most underrated players in the NHL, would love to see him in Black and Gold.
