The Vancouver Canucks announced earlier that they had traded away their captain Bo Horvat to the New York Islanders and new information came up in that regard.
According to the information that was leaked, the Canucks would be retaining 25% of Horvat's cap hit for the remainder of the campaign.

Obviously, only time will tell who gets the upper hand in this trade. The Canucks' community surely took a hit when the team traded away their captain, do you believe they fetch a good enough haul for their captain?
At this point, Horvat has not yet discussed any possibilities for an extension, do you believe he'll hit free agency? Could the Canucks decide to pursue him then?
