He's fast enough, skilled enough, and smart enough to earn a spot if he gains another 10-15 lbs this summer (and that's not far fetched). He'd be my "Jeff Skinner-like" (unexpected immediate impact) candidate for the 2014 draft if I had to pick one.

His height doesn't scare me but his weight needs to be 180+ lbs to compete at the NHL level.

The problem I have is that he is a douche when he is in THIS city.

Well if you plan on giving a top 10 development without trying them out for up to 9 games, you might as well trade down. These days most of the top 15 should be near nhl ready. Top 5 should be able to play at some sort of top 9 role.

Horvat?

Yep. Nucker said he's already above 170 & 10lbs of functional muscle is an easy add over a span of 4+ months.

From Edmonton Journal:
The Winnipeg Jets aren’t going to get full value for Evander Kane, but they have to move him out: the top-line forward is too high maintenance. Would they consider dealing him to, say, the Vancouver Canucks? He played junior there for the Giants. How about Kane for defenceman Alex Edler and a prospect? Scouts say Kane wasn’t like this as a junior so the entitlement has come as a pro with all the money.

Did he jump out of his SUV in the middle of traffic to beat somebody up over a couple hundred bucks as well?

Patrick ($.20) Kane has a pair of cup rings. Would not except him into the locker room because of his taxi exploits?

You can hope for that. I'll hope for the opposite.

That was on gillis, if Horvat didn't excel gillis woulda got ripped in the media for making that trade. Better self image move to say we're gonna develop him slow.

For this reason alone don't get rid of Torts. He made Gaborik cry, imagine what he could do to Edler?

Not really a fan of his either. Especially with what it would cost to land either Kane. No point in emptying the cupboards to land them.

If we are going to fix what's wrong with this team, we need to do it properly through the draft. Not a big fan of the Maple Leafs model, imagine where they would be if they managed their assets properly.

The thing about trading this year is there is no true difference maker.

The way he has moved up the charts, I could see someone grabbing him before us. I wouldn't be shocked.
