Thread: Seeing if Horvat fits
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aadoyle</b></div><div>Oh if Girard is going yeah u can go less

But in general if Horvat keeps going till TDL hes gonna be very expensive especially with retention and an extension as next to Kane and Meier hes probs the 3rd best guy available</div></div>

I would say not necessarily that expensive. As one of the VAN hockey writers pointed out, the closer it gets to the TDL the less control the team has. Sure they can trade him wherever as he doesn't have the protection but if he indicates that he isn't going to sign, or even indicates nothing, then VAN starts to fall into the hole of trade him for what they can get or risk losing him for nothing in the off season, and if we're getting into blinking contests Sakic at least is well known for not blinking first. Either way the most I'd offer is Newhook plus 24 1st IF it was a 'trade and sign'.

Thread: Seeing if Horvat fits
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aadoyle</b></div><div>To me if Horvat was willing to extend on arrival for 7 x 8yrs I would gladly move on as Newhook is struggling while Horvat is thriving. U worry about the final 4 years of the deal later but Horvat putting up 30 goals a season with Lehkonen and Nichuskin does sound nice. He can also PK. So that really wont come cheap especially if he is attached to an extension

Also could sign cheaper 4th liners as there are league min guys who can make an impact and allow for a 21 man team</div></div>

Even VAN hockey writers are only talking one of Behrens, Olausson or Girard with a 24 1st for Horvat with an extension so no you aren't getting all that......and I thought it was Colorado where ppl were supposed to be smoking the good stuff!!! You could add Newhook to that list as well, and he would be the best choice IF Horvat were extended. The truth is that he likely can't be afforded even with a 4 mil raise in the cap. I don't think Byram gets as much as this but if EJ came back then I don't think he signs for that little either.

Thread: Horvat to Colorado 3way
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Mediumyeet</b></div><div>It doesn't though. Horvat to Colorado makes sense. Avs fans are just ridiculous on here. If you talk to non keyboard warrior fans they have interest in Horvat.

Not sure I've ever seen an avs fan on here with a logical take. Y'all act like no team has ever traded for a rental.</div></div>

Horvat to COL does NOT make sense to anyone but VAN fans. Nobody on here is being a kb warrior it's simply discussion (if you're butthurt about it then public forums perhaps aren't the place for you?) and we've all given 'nucks fans the benefit of our knowledge of our team. Only VAN fans keep trying to foist Horvat onto Colorado. The Avs cupboard is bare so they will be unlikely to use that 1st rounder on a rental they have absolutely NO chance of re-signing. Neither would they use Girard who is a young top 4 D on a great contract in that manner. You appear to have no idea what any semblance of logic is.

Thread: Horvat to Colorado 3way
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Mediumyeet</b></div><div>Lol. Calls out Canucks fans for sending Horvat to a team in need of a 2C that probably prefers a rental to maintain cap space next season as illogical. And then suggests to just trade for a division rival's (who is also a playoff teams) 2C because that makes way more sense and LA would definitely be interested in trading their 2C perennial selke candidate to a division rival.</div></div>

Makes a LOT more sense to Colorado. Which is the point you missed. Your half-arsed, half-baked attempts to send Horvat to Colorado make sense for Vancouver and don't for Colorado. Have I illustrated the point adequately for you yet? The Avs are highly unlikely to be going to be interested in Horvat as a rental or give up those pieces. Just as LA would be highly unlikely to want to trade Danault for Girard!
