I have never seen a fanbase melt down so hard over a player who has scored at a 63 point pace since they were traded. It’s outright absurd
Petey scored at a 65 point pace last year and you guys acted like he was an absolute bum

Ive kept my two horvat kerseys, in case on eday he comes back, after they sell the team and we dont suck anymore.

Trading away Horvat was the start of the downfall for the current management group. Keep Horvat over Miller, things are probably not as bad here.

The one miller chased out . Miller single handedly destroyed the Canucks. And the brass let him.

No captain since he left.

When he scored that goal today….WHEWWWW!!!!

Watching him fly down the middle and scoring makes me pissed at managementÂ

All the people that gave me shit for keeping miller instead of Bo are all lamenting losing Bo. Maybe not OP. And not always on reddit. But I never met a person that agreed with me that it was a massive mistake to choose miller over Bo.

Trades aren’t a zero-sum game (maybe they are if Benning is organizing the trade).
We got Hronek and I like him. Plus, top tier RHD are historically more scarce.

Wow, so many posts about Bo. I think we really need to scale this down as everyone is rewriting history and forgetting why it was a great decision we traded him in the first place.
1. Horvat was traded on January 30, 2023 where he was on pace for 51 goals. He had 31 in 49 games.
2. Because of his unsustainable goal total, he was asking for $8.5MM which Isles gave him.
3. Horvat ended up finishing with 7 goals in 30 games for the Isles, which gave him a season total of 38 goals. Much less than the projected 51 goal pace.
4. Since then, he has never been close to 50 goals. He’s never even hit 40 goals either.
5. Canucks chose Miller who finished the same 2023 season with 82 points, more than Horvat.
6. Prior year, Miller finished with 99 points, more than Horvat.
7. The following year, he finished with 103 points, more than Horvat.
8. Miller then signed for $8MM, less than Horvat.
9. That year, Miller went on to be the MVP of the playoffs and the arena chanted his name.
10. Canucks went on to trade for Hronek, a legit 1-2RHD that was instrumental in the 2024 season.
So no, he never got away.
I am not a fan of Miller, but Horvat wasn’t the solution either.

His coast to coast goal against St. Louis in the bubble is/was one of my favourite goals of all time. I bought a Horvat jersey based off that one goal alone…

We got Hronek, Miller had 3 over p/pg seasons then drama happened, unlucky with injuries etc, gotta move on

My most favourite Canuck of all time, I’m still heartbroken 💔

This needs to stop. Under his captaincy the team soured and did not do much of anything. I’m a Bo fan but he needed to go and so do these posts.

Bet they wish they could do that again.

We gave him away.

I don’t know what Bo could’ve done for us seems like the trade was a necessity.. The Canucks was always leading to a rebuild and Bo Horvat is 30 years old I am happy we have Hronek and Raty for this rebuild over an aging centre.

I’m pretty confident that management traded horvat on the high because he was on a hot streak and believed Pettersson 40 was ready to become our true 1C, and the short-term plan was for Miller to carry the tougher minutes while Petey grew into that role.
At the time it made sense to bet on the younger player with the higher ceiling, but it just hasn’t fully come together. Not sure if it ever will, he seems like a ghost of his former self.

He deserved better than the Canucks, happy for him

Jets fan here. Those jerseys are sick!!

They traded Horvat so they could pay EP40 $11.6 x 8.

That jersey is so good. I wish they wear those again
