Pucks & Brews Episode 33: Bo Horvat Is An Islander

On this episode of Pucks & Brews, Mike and Liam discuss the Vancouver Canucks trading Bo Horvat to the New York Islanders, the return the Canucks got and whether or not it was good value, Lou Lamoriello's tenure as the Isles GM, why Vancouver has potential to win this trade, comparing Horvat's career stats to other players, whether or not we could see Horvat being traded again before the trade deadline, why this is a good trade for the Canucks, the potential of Aatu Raty and Anthony Beauvillier, the eastern conference wild card race for the Islanders,   Andrei Kuzmenko’s 2 year contract extension in Vancouver, Pavel Zacha’s 4 year extension in Minnesota, Matt Boldy’s 7 year contract extension in Minnesota, Jimmy Vesey and Ben Harpur’s 2 year contract extension with the New York Rangers, Max Pacioretty tearing his achilles again and what this means for the Hurricanes going into the trade deadline, Cole Caufield’s dislocated shoulder, Ryan Miller’s number being retired by the Sabres and a shoutout to him for a great career, Connor McDavid already being at 40 goals, how many he can score this season, and how many goals and points he can finish the season with, Nicklas Backstrom’s the Panthers becoming the first team all season to beat the Bruins twice, the San Jose Sharks losing in miraculous fashion to the Hurricanes after scoring an empty net goal, the Rangers putting Johnny Brodzinski on waivers, Sammy Blais’s conditioning stint, Gerard Galant’s constant line shuffling with the Rangers, holes on the team, where this team can improve come the trade deadline, the not so quick development of both Kaapo Kakko and Alexis Lafreniere, condolences to the Hull family for the passing of Bobby Hull, and in the world of wrestling condolences to the Pugh family with the sudden loss of Jamin Pugh aka Jay Briscoe, and more.
