I don’t know if it means anything but Horvat’s agent Pat Morris clients are Bailey, Cizikas, Clutterbuck and Martin. Lou is familiar with him.

Doubt it carries a ton of weight, but at least those are guys that have been around for awhile and are undoubtedly happy here. It probably means very little, but at least it's not a bad thing.

Is getting a contract close to what Barzal got is that considered being fleeced?

I think what’s being reported is 8x8 which is to me fair for his historic production while also factoring in the season he’s having. I’d rather not give him what Barzal is getting it’s a bit high for his age and past production. He has close to 3 years on Barzal. It would be an overpayment imo. Fleeced may be an exaggeration but an overpayment none the less. An overpayment here and there throughout the lineup leads to a problem as we’re experiencing rt now.

Lou never overvalues players 8x8 is probably what they are looking at and with the cap going up and players coming off the books it's doable. The sorokin deal will be the big one after next year

Yeah the Tarasenko and Sorokin deals are going to eat up a lot of space.

To answer your question that you asked in the Canucks blog, Horvat is a powerful skate with speed. Good player, you guys will like him.

I think most got frustrated with him because for a powerful skater and a decent sized guy at 6 foot and about 215 lbs, he wasn't physical, plus the and KS suck and need to make several changes.
Shouldn't be a problem for you guys as you have lots of physical players

Also, Horvat is a good faceoff guy, who wins key draws except against Bergeron and Toews, who seem to have his number.

Not sure what it would take? He hasn’t had the best season with injuries. Not sure what we could possibly offer? Our 2025 first?

As he would be a rental at or near the trade deadline, we ought to be able to get him cheaper than if we traded for him a couple years ago. I have no idea what St. Louis' plans are in terms of blowing up the team and starting over vs. a less drastic rebuild. Maybe we could get him for a couple of 2nd round picks and Josh Bailey?

They're going to need those 2nd round picks and Bailey to acquire McDavid

Not sure if those second round picks can overcome the negative effect packaging Bailey with them is going to have.
