Players are a bit low upside, but I very much like that the club has taken a fade position on the Islanders.47514#Canucks mistake was committing to a long line of expensive players rather than Bo Horvat.This trade is fine, considering the circumstances.

Always willing to speak to the media in both good moments and bad. I’ve been really happy to see him take his game to another level this year. A genuine, good guy who acquitted himself admirably as a captain in a Canadian market.35919Will miss Bo Horvat in the #Canucks dressing room.

We watched him grow up from our 9th overall draft pick at age 18 to our team captain with a young family of his own. We are going to miss him.

Beauvillier scored nine goals and 11 assists for the Islanders this season, while youngster Raty has had good offensive performances.In exchange, the Islanders received nine-year veteran Bo Horvat, who was one of the top names at the trade deadline and part of many trade rumors as he neared the end of his contract.This season, he scored a career-high 31 goals, along with 19 assists in 49 games for the Vancouver Canucks. His 31 goals put him eighth on the goal-scoring list, and he will be participating in the 2023 NHL All-Star Game for the Pacific Division.Bo Horvat wants to be in the race for silverware and his ambitions match the Islanders'. It will be interesting to see the veteran's impact on the team.
