Bo Horvat's contractual situation has been the center of attention for a while now and the latest information from Insider Rick Dhaliwal will not slow down the rumor mill.

There's a trend going around the league stating that the value of Horvat's play would grant him nothing less than $8.25M for the next 8 years. A centerman that can take care of things in his zone and a proven 30-goal-scorer and even more this year is definitely worth this much. Roope Hintz just inked his new deal and he's most likely the closest comparative. He took a team-friendly deal and inked with an $8.45M AAV for the following 8 years.

From the information Dhaliwal learned, the last offer the Horvat party rejected was in the mid 6's for 8 years. Which probably would've been a good range before hitting the ice in 2022, but his current offensive game takes his worth to the next level and it's clear that a $6.5M AAV is not going to cut it.

Dhaliwal didn't stop there, he revealed that from what he had heard, the Nashville Predators had called on Bo Horvat's availability. At this point literally, any team with the means to pay the Canucks' demands should do their due diligence on him, with his low $5.5M AAV for the remainder of the season everyone can figure a way to absorb as a rental.

If the Canucks do trade him, it'll be really interesting to see it unfold as the Canucks' future depends on it.
