BREAKING: Canucks may be sollicited for Bo Horvat sooner than expected
It's no surprise that the Canucks are contemplating the idea of selling a few players and head towards a rebuild.
With his contractual situation, Bo Horvat is the player that'll be the first to take off if the Canucks decide to go down this road.
The Colorado Avalanche were known to be potential suitors if the Canucks decided to make a move on the centerman, since the reigning Stanley Cup champions will most likely take another deep run in the playoffs this season. They would've normally waited until the deadline to make the call, but something unexpected occurred in their game against the Flyers last night:
They already have half of their forward group sidelined and now we can add superstar forward Nathan MacKinnon to the list.
The Avs are in a situation where they may be forced to make a push for Bo Horvat earlier than anticipated.
Though the team has picked it up a little as of late, do you think they will head down the Bedard route or are they still hopeful for a playoff run?
