Autrefois considéré comme inconcevable, l’échange de Bo Horvat doit maintenant être envisagé pour que les Canucks se remettent sur les rails

I couldn’t agree more… if I was the GM I’d have traded Miller and kept Horvat because he’s younger and better defensively. But this is the Canucks we’re talking about here, and the best move is almost never made and decisions rarely make sense.
I would prefer Bo over Miller by a mile but they made their choice. We need to deal someone to recoup picks and cap space.
Bo has been a great captain. Absolutely no complaints. But at some point management needs to concede trying to deconstruct Benning’s roster brick by brick isn’t working and won’t work. We need to strap some TNT to the sucker and blow a hole in the foundation. Rutherford and Co could have used Miller as that piece but now it almost has to be Horvat.
He deserves/deserved better.
Sadly this article is right. The Canucks have made their choice in picking J.T Miller. This team needs draft picks and prospects and more cap space.
Back in Benning’s third year, a hyperbolic critic of his tenure on HFBoards posted « The rebuild will begin when Bo Horvat is traded for picks », and it sounded like a caustic, cynical, absurdist take.
Kind of horrifying that it might have been prophetic.
JT’s NMC gives the Canucks the window to get out from under him at any cost. Resigning Bo should only happen once Miller is gone. Bo has proven he can up his compete level after a slow start but here we are six games in watching the same Jimothy Timothy bullshit.
Six games in, yes tire fire, but no reason this doesn’t start to shake itself out. I saw a post with Pearson on fourth and Millsy on wing, and this could be the winning recipe. Defensive corp is shyte but eh, we should be able to turn this corner with Juulsen and Rathbone slotting in in spots. Not ideal but serviceable. Canes tonight is probably not what we need now, but fuk it. Let’s goooo
It’s been a decade of middling results. Nothing should be inconceivable.
Man, idk if I got it in me to go through another rebuild. Those last 7-8 years were miserable and in the end we’ve accomplished fuck all with this core. Now you’re telling me we gotta go through all that again and pray the new core gets it done? Fuck Jim Benning and his asset management. Fuck Francesco Aquilini. Fuck Messier.
I love this team, but holy fuck this team is cursed.
Nice to see Canucks Army finally clue into what seemed fairly obvious at the time – the Miller deal means Horvat is done here. And if Horvat wants $7.5m,$8m per year, he’s the guy who must be moved. Miller is struggling right now, and won’t pit up 99 points again, but he’s legitimately a PPG player over his three years in Vancouver
Like, no one is asking what responsibility the captain bears for this. There are reports that the locker room is divided and that there’s a country club atmosphere there. Setting the tone is the captain’s job. I know the flaws on this organisation are much bigger and endemic to just about all levels, but at some point Bo has to come in for criticism.
If you want to shake up the dressing room, then there’s no bigger move than trading the captain. The fact that we are probably forced into it is another matter.
No player should be considered untradeable. However the return has to be worth it.
If teams weren’t willing to pay the price for Miller, is anyone going to give this management group a reasonable return for Horvat?
Or is the implication that Horvat should be traded for scraps?
The article’s conclusion also doesn’t take into account that the cap is going to explode over the next 4 seasons. Overpaying by $1M for a top 6 forward, that’s in his prime, isn’t the same problem it was 3 years ago.
