Bruins trade package for Bo Horvat revealed
Bo Horvat was one of the biggest commodities on the NHL trade market, until the Islanders swooped in an acquired the Canucks captain.
It does seem odd, however, as Horvat could potentially just be a rental for an Islanders team that may not even make the playoffs.
The Bruins - who are making the playoffs - were also heavily interested in Horvat, which brings up an intriguing question. Seeing the return that Vancouver got, what would it have cost the Bruins?
According to Nick Goss of NBC Sports Boston, the Bruins were also heavily in on Horvat. He shared what it would have cost Boston:
''One of Jake DeBrusk, Pavel Zacha or Trent Frederic, plus Fabian Lysell and a 2023 first-rounder would be comparable to Beauvillier, Raty and a first-rounder. That would have been a very steep price for a B's organization that lacks elite prospects as well as high-end young players at the NHL level.''
GM Don Sweeney will have to wait until Free Agency unless Horvat signs an extension in New York. He will be much more useful as a longterm solution at centre than perhaps just the rest of this season.
