LATEST | Transaction completed with the New York Islanders: Bo Horvat opens up

The Canucks are hosting the New York Islanders tonight and this game will mark the former captain's return to Vancouver.

Horvat was traded to the Islanders a little under a year ago in a package deal that saw Aatu Raty, Anthony Beauvilier and a 1st Round Pick making the ride back to Vancouver. Horvat then inked a massive 8-year-deal which will be paying him an astonishing $68M.

Horvat has, since then, directed comments at the team's management and today the former captain was asked to comment on how he felt since the trade and his one-line answer said it all:

Clearly Horvat still holds harsh feelings toward the team's management that they chose to resign J.T. Miller over him. Through 13 games this season the $8.5M centerman collected 11 points, will he improve his stat line in Vancouver tonight?
