Additional Details:
Horvat currently has 35 pts in 32 games and has been on 90+ point pace for the past year. People need to start accepting the fact that Horvat is actually a skilled goal scorer. Not to mention one of the best faceoff guys in the league.
His low end comparable as a rental is Andrew Copp who got a first rounder, as second, Morgan Barron, and a 5th rounder. Copp had just over 30pts in 56 games. Alvin has said that he values younger players under 25 more than draft picks so here's a package that the Canucks would start with.
Just a note for Leafs fans. Kerfoot adds no value for us. Neither does Robertson, Hirvonen, Voit, Anderson, Villenevue or any combination of them and a draft pick. Do yourselves a favor and trade Kerfoot to a team that could actually use him and give you assets in return. Horvat instantly makes the Leafs better and will get them over the hump of the first round regardless of being a rental or not. There's a tradeoff though and that is sacrificing what you may consider significant pieces to get there.
Leafs fans treat the value of Knies like he is McDavid.
Guess what?
HE ISN'T!
