Not enough for Horvat.

Also Myers contract is shorter so no need to make that deal.

See I thought that about Horvat but then I thought, why would Horvat be worth more then Miller when they both expire as UFAs at the same time when Miller's a much better producer.

Unless we wait to trade him after July 1st, with a pre agreed upon extension he's just a bonafide rental.

I had it in my head the Myers and Zaitsev contracts ended at the same time haha. In that case maybe there's another trade parter out there.

What's going wrong there? I mean I get the lineup has some issues but I really don't think it's as bad as their record is either, have they quit on Green or do his systems suck or what?

I value Horvat more than Miller because he's our captain, leader and organizational face. Miller is closer to the outside looking in compared to Horvat, Hughes, Pettersson, Boeser and Demko. I would imagine a Horvat trade (if it happens) would be in the offseason anyway.

PK has been flaming hot garbage, Pettersson hasn't been great and attention to detail. Tough to tell if its the players giving up on the coach, GM or if there's a problem in the locker room.

Quality AGM ✔

Idk if Podkolzin Schneider and especially Bowers are going to be too valuable at the end of their ELCs tho... and I have no idea what van should do about it

Other than fire bimjo naturally

Can’t imagine Ottawa touching that without a sweetener

That's because they do end a the same time. Other poster is dead wrong. Both contracts end in 2024, which is why I don't think it makes any sense for Ottawa. Myers is large and would almost certainly be a marginal upgrade over Zaitsev, but "better than Zaitsev" is an extremely low bar to clear, and it still doesn't make him any good, or at all worth adding 1.5mil to the contract Zaitsev is on. The only options that really make any sense for Ottawa at this stage would be to either add an asset (2nd rounder?) To get out from the Zaitsev contract completely, or to just buy him out, and if they were to go the buyout route, Zaitsev's contract is WAY more buyout friendly.

Myers is not enough of an upgrade over Zaistez to make this move. Also Zaistev is liked in the lookerroom which makes it w worse trade for OTT.

Yeah I gotcha. Sounds like maybe not quite a good fit. I'll keep searching for a way to move Myers hahaha

Yeah that's a reasonable stance, I just wonder how the rest of the league feels. There's a lot of "hockey minds" that love leadership so maybe they would be willing to pay the leadership tax on Bo.

Yeah, I don't give a **** if he's liked in the room, he still needs to go. Just not in a deal like this.

I have no doubts whatsoever that teams would pay a lot and then a premium on top of that for Horvat. I just hope that if it comes to that, the Canucks take quality over quantity.

To me it's a case of value looks fair but doubt the Avs would do it. Barron = EJ's future replacement.
