Friedman makes major revelation regarding a potential Horvat signing
Elliotte Friedman was once more on Donnie and Dahli. This time he brought some disturbing news about the current situation between the Canucks and Horvat's contractual problems.
Horvat's been having himself quite the season as he's only 3 goals away from breaking the career-high record he set for himself in 2021-2022, only difference though, he still has 45 games to establish a new mark. Whilst on the show Friedman was asked whether or not there had been development on this case and if he still believed there was a chance at a mutual agreement, here's what he had to say:
It is going to take an unbelievable offer from VAN and I do not see it.''
Horvat is currently in a situation where he wants to get paid up to the standards he's set with his game. The Canucks' management, on the other hand, has set a limit to what they want to pay, and clearly, it's under what Horvat believes he's worth. At this point, it's no longer a question of having the money or not, since the Canucks DO have the money needed to ink a major deal. They're just unwilling to above the amount they've previously determined, it is believed that the Canucks last offer was in the low 7s, which was rejected by the Horvat camp. Keep in mind that Elias Pettersson will need a deal in the foreseeable future and he'll command a much bigger amount.
Now Friedman stated that Horvat was going to have to take a pay cut if he wanted to stay in Vancouver, the question that remains now is: How much does he like Vancouver, and how much does he want to stay in Vancouver?
