Speculation in Vancouver is that if the Canucks move up its to get Byrum.

I'd be pretty surprised if he's at #6 still. They either know something we don't, or they're going to package #6 once they get up there.

Or this is all a smokescreen. Still, it's fun

I'll take Horvat for the #7.

That is an interesting proposal but yes I might make that trade.

I wish but Horvat isn't going anywhere

Every single time someone mentions Vancouver in trades someone brings up Horvat and every single time it needs to be clarified: they’re not trading him. I don’t know where the idea that they will trade him came from.

Stastny's not ideal & I'd hope that Botterill can do better, but he could work in a pinch.  How about seeing how badly they need the cap space by offering CJ Smith?

Though I'd rather have a guy that could fit in as the 3C for 2-3 years after Mittelstadt moves up to 2C, that's not nearly as critical as 2C is for the next 2 years.  After that, one of Asplund, Davidsson, this years #7 overall, or somebody else can take Mitts role as 3C should this year's 2C not be up to that future role.

I would. They won't.

I'd throw in Nylander and BOGO.  So #7, Nylander and BOGO for Horvat.

It's really #7 for Horvat.  BOGO will start the season on IR and probably won't be re-signed next year.  Nylander has value due to his draft position and "potential".  If he falls flat in Roch/Buf this year, his value will be nothing.  I think it's worth the risk.

They aren't trading Horvat for that. For the reasons you just explained.

Sorry, I was responding to @Radar and forgot to quote him.

Horvat is Vancouver’s equivalent of Reinhart, except all Canuck fans see his value.

The franchise has no interest in trading him for any sort of package.

I think maybe Radar was saying it would still be a No from Vancouver.

Does everyone realize that Bo Horvat is a 24 year old, low end #1/high end #2 C?  He is basically ROR.  He has gotten better and better each year in the league.  I can’t think of a reason that Vancouver would want to trade him.

Ahhh, my bad.  I was thinking Radar was saying the Sabres would say no.  Thanks.

Would an (the?) answer be that the GM had a minor stroke?

(Provided of course he actually winds up on the market.)

Well 3 GMs traded ROR, so anything is possible I suppose.

What are you moving from 7 to 10 for? 

Not sure on that but I could see it being because Sabres thought Caufield would slide to 10 and they could still take him there *ducks*

2 did.  But, once for sure he demanded a trade, and the 2nd time.......

Anyway, Horvat is exactly what Vancouver needs.  They like him, he likes them, he is signed long term.  He isn’t getting traded to Buffalo.

Yeah I'd trade anyone this side of Dahlin, even though I'm not his biggest fan, for Horvat. That includes Jack. Bo may not have the skill Jack does but I like his game profoundly more than our saviour's.

I would love a second but it would probably be something like a B prospect or 3rd and 5th round pick or something.  I wouldn't make that trade but if they really like Caufield or someone similar at 7 and reasonably confident in getting them at 10 then they sure might.

I think Stastny is going to be one of the very best options made available this offseason that can fill a 2C role. That contract is favorable and he had a very good year once he got healthy.

If you can buy low and fill that 2C spot then it really opens up some options moving forward.
