Just now, new information has popped up regarding the situation, where it was declared that the Canucks are not willing to go above the $56M they gave J.T. Miller over the summer.
It's been reported that one team would be willing to pursue the Canucks' captain into free agency and go up to $9M/year. $56M through 7 years is an $8M AAV and on an 8-year deal, it represents an $7M AAV.
We'll have to wait and see before coming to a conclusion on this one. One thing that remains certain is that Horvat's definitely pissed off at the way the team's been handling the negotiation with the media. It was reported that Allvin met with him in Calgary to try and patch things up in that matter.
