The Vancouver Canucks are in a difficult position as a result of Bo Horvat wanting out of the organization ASAP, and it is doubtful that they will be able to re-sign him due to his rising value following an incredible start to the�2022�23 season.�
Horvat will become an unrestricted free agent at the end of this season because of the�Canucks current state, and the little cap space they will have to offer depsite how horrible there season has been.�I
nsider revealed that a team will spend upwards of $9 million to sign the superstar given his current cap cost of $5,500,000, as he is one goal behind Connor McDavid in goal standings so far.
Horvat has been nothing short of outstanding to begin this season, tallying 14 goals and 20 points in 17 games to move into second place among NHL goal scorers, just behind Connor McDavid of Edmonton, which puts him on pace for a 68 goal season (which is unlikely, but a insane stat regardless).�
Reporter Frank Seravalli stated�that the Columbus Blue Jackets and Vancouver Canucks had discussed the possibility of trading for Bo Horvat. He made it clear the Blue Jackets are a suitable destination and have the assets to offer.
With just�11 points on the year so far�and a 5-9-1 record, Columbus has had a terrible start to the 2022�23 season, but with Laine, Voracek, Gaudreau still on board they are trying to make a big splash at hopes for a quick turnaround to their awful start.
Columbus has tons of youth to offer Vancouver if they plan to go into rebuild mode, and if not? They have veterans that the Canucks may need.
