Thread: Dream Horvat Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Leroy2381</b></div><div>WOW, tell me how you really feel. I’m assuming you didn’t read the question I asked about this only being possible with A Horvat extension. Not sure what direction Columbus is taking as signing Gaudreau doesn’t seem like a team with a complete rebuild mentality. Just thought Horvat with an extension would be pretty valuable to a franchise that has struggled to keep their talent in the past.</div></div>

I read it. Why would CBJ do that and give up on their chance at Bedard and 2 of their top young prospects? They can just sign Horvat as a free agent if they really want him.

CBJ has had an awful season but you just traded away two blue chip prospects and one of Bedard/Fantilli/Michkov/Carlsson so they can pay Horvat $8M for an extra year.

This doesn’t come close to working.

Thread: Dream Horvat Trade
Why exactly are the Blue Jackets, a team currently 22 points out of a wildcard spot, trading for a rental?

Why are the Blue Jackets, currently the 31st ranked team in the NHL, including the 2023 1st rounder in a trade for a rental? That pick has one of the highest odds of becoming Bedard and at worst becomes a top pick in a franchise altering draft.

Why are the Blue Jackets, a team that you just had trading a lottery ticket for Connor Bedard, also adding in their most recent 1st rounder, taken 6th overall?

Why are the Blue Jackets, a team you have already decimated with this poorly thought out trade, then adding in Sillinger? He’s a high pedigree guy that’s already an NHL impact player at 19.

Why are the Blue Jackets, a team that you have already driven to the edge of extinction, then adding in another NHL player for good measure? Was the entire stripping of their prospect pool not enough?

I have been on Capfriendly for a while, but this is hands down the worst thought out trade I have ever seen on this godforsaken site.
