I liken Horvat more as a power center now who thrives in pressure situations, clutch for the playoffs/post season/tournaments, a faceoff beast, and has the Canadian captain warrior mentality needed to help your squad win, definitely suitable for a #2C spot on a good team. I'd like to see him centering Baertschi and Virtanen again, all those three have some good chemistry with their skill sets.

Q. Hughes legit will be an all-star, high scoring QB type for sure, but the more I think about it, maybe all the Canucks need is just a right shot big cannon like Salo, get a guy like that and Hughes working the points, that will stretch defenses thin on their penalty kill.

Go Penguins style, no true #1 dman (Letang is more #1b type), but had 2 high scoring dmen combined with some two-way dmen and a bulldozer dman for the rough stuff.
Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.
