With the NHL trade deadline just a month and a half away, rumors are swirling as to who the Hurricanes are going after. One name that has come up more than others is Canucks captain, Bo Horvat.
The 27-year-old leads the Canucks with 48 points through just 43 games. According to Pierre Lebrun, the asking price for Horvat is a young center along with a multi-asset package. At this time, it is too much to give up on a rental.
Assuming the Canucks do not change their asking price and Carolina passes, let’s take a look at another center that could be available for a much cheaper price.
