I do agree with you on that - even if you discount this year as being an outlier with his crazy shooting %, Horvat *is* a good player, by all accounts a great dude, and getting a guy who scores goals and is good on the power play addresses the biggest issue that the team had.
But yeah - even after a couple nice wins the team is still on the outside of the playoff picture, their prospect pool is in the bottom quarter of the league, and I don't know if this is the move that gets them over the hump. I'll happily eat all the crow possible if they make the run in the last third of the season, but it's going to take a big turnaround going forward.
