lol

OK, Nucks fans....do you guys like this deal? I'm sure I'll be labelled a "troll" here, but my honest opinion is that this is way too high. Horvat was a 20-goal scorer last season, getting tonnes of quality minutes because he played for a team with very few offensive weapons

And he'll be making $5.5M for the next six years???

The Leafs just signed Connor Brown, another 20 goal scorer with arguably a higher offensive ceiling, to a two-year deal at $2.1M per. I get that you've gotta pay more to secure a player for the long-term, but I just don't see Horvat as a $5.5M guy

What is up?

Say WAY TOO HIGH then goes on rambling.
Stat readers say the strangest things.

lol dude...Connor Brown has had one decent NHL season....one. Always a chance it could be a one-off.

Horvat has shown a consistent 35% progression in points gained per season for three straight years. Horvat got Douin money which is right in line with 50+ point guys.

When Connor Brown does that...we'll talk bro.

When Brown is a C then I'll listen lol
I'll predict our interloper goes mute & proves himself a troll.
Any takers?

You missed your troll window when posters were calling for a bridge deal because Bo will only be a 3C in the future.

So far so good

If Bo was too high wait till you see what the Leafs are gonna be paying Auston Matthews next july. North of 11 million a season for sure. Is he twice the player Bo is?

I don't want to tell you to go back and read all those days and several pages by posters but maybe they will surface and let you know themselves.

Well u brought it up & I'm looking for clarity.
I don't recall any serious posts he was a 3C.
I do not include if he was on the Pens cuz he isn't.

Yes. Yes he is

One is a true 1C & the other a very solid 2C.
Twice the money has nothing to do with anything.
If I were bulk shopping for groceries then yes.
This is about roles & values & the market nothing more.

I don't recall any poster here calling Bo a third line center. I know DCT myself and a few others have said it would be nice to find two better centers because the talent level would be really high on this club.

Like a lot of things get twisted around on here by what they were suppose to mean.

I know for a fact that you have turned it into an art form of twisting what people say on here, and that is why so many posters find you extremely bloody annoying , myself included.

This group debates the talent level on here daily. Canucks are a long way from elite and should always try to find better players

I'll jog your memory on those posters logic.

Their arguments went like this: Bo was a 1C on this sh!tty Canuck team. A 2C on a better one and a 3C on a contender. He hasn't proved anything. Why pay him now. Give him a bridge not to regret paying him more then he's worth. Just because he's the only shiny object on a sh!tty team.

On and on it went. Those are some of the nibbles for you to look for if you go back to read.

Decent signing.
Seem's fair given all the facets that we've gone over already.

Personally, I would have preferred a shorter bridge deal to see if he can continue to develop, but i understand the rationale for locking him up longer term.

Future Captain (next year?).
Will likely be a solid 2C going forward.
Hopefully coach Green plays him with some quality wingers and he continues to develop.

What do people see as similar C comparables?
Hopefully a Paul Stastny/Mikko Koivu.
My fear is that he plateau's at a Derek Stepan ceiling. Not the worst thing in the world...but i hope for more.
