Horvat

Would this be the best move for CBJ to trade expensively for Bo? Don't forget Sillinger and Johnson in 2-3 years will be top line material and Bo would probably be sent to the 3rd line.

Def not the best move... But if Jarmo gets impatient and wants to win sooner rather than later than this is probs the most logical move. In the end I highly doubt we deviate from being patient and developing our young core.

You're not wrong, though whether Johnson can play C is up for debate - he's been on the wing so far, and if that's where he sticks, I'm cool with it.

I think a Horvat/ Sillinger situation at 1C/2C could be great. Plus, I think playing with Gaudreau and Laine/ KJ/ Marchenko/ whoever could really take Horvat's game to a new level.

As for the package, I don't think CBJ do Boqvist *and* CC. I'd do Boqvist, the 1st, a mid-rounder, and maybe add a Foudy/ Bean/ Bemstrom, etc. Give one of those three a change of scenery. CC has some good upside, but he is probably 2+ years from NHL ready, and has a lot of his game to still work on. Boqvist has some defensive issues to work on, but he's got the offensive upside, and I think if VAN is willing to give him a shot at 1RD, Hughes is a better partner/player than Werenski.

No idea what Boqvist's value is rn after his meh start to the season. Just hard to judge a trade package when including him

I wouldn't call Bo a 1C but he's a solid 2C
