Bo Horvat étant donné le A

Feels soon, but he’s a natural fit for it
So he got clutters A im assuming…im all for it and well deserved. It just feels so strange now that barzy doesnt have an A, but maybe when Lee eventually moves on Horvat will get the C and barzy will get an A
By far the most deserving player (that doesn’t have one) on the roster of a letter currently.
Not to take anything away from Horvat because I think he is absolutely deserving of wearing a letter on any team in this league, but as someone who has no clue what the vibes in the locker room are like, I’m a bit surprised Barzal didn’t get an “A” before Horvat. He’s been the team’s most consistent scorer and always shows up in the it moments. He came into the league as a dynamic offensive forward but had re-worked his game to be a respectable defensive forward as well. He was just top-3 in takeaways for all forwards. He also gave up his natural center position and moved to the wing when the Islanders acquired Horvat with no hesitation and thrived. He also gives the most natural, least hockey-stereotypical interviews to any media member of any player I’ve ever seen. From an outside perspective, he embodies the defintion of leading by example.
As a nucks fan, Bo is a solid leader in the locker room. If he can handle the C in Vancouver he’ll handle the A in Long Island with grace.
How Cizikas doesn’t have one is insane to me
