Is this really the way Canucks management want to handle this situation? They didn't hesitate to pull the trigger on a massive deal for J.T. Miller, shouldn't they consider doing the same for the team captain, leading goalscorer and leading forward in time of ice?
The current going reference for a top centerman refers to Roope Hintz most recent deal (8-year, $67.6M). Now, do you want to give that much money to Horvat? Given the fact that he wasn't producing like a number one center rate before this year?
