The Vancouver Canuck’s most recent trade is the talk of the town right now. In a surprising turn of events, the Canucks traded their very own captain to another team. Bo Horvat has found a new home with the New York Islanders. The trade has sparked mixed feelings among the fans. It has certainly come as a shock to some, given that the Canucks have not exactly been at their best, but they had a proven scorer in Bo Horvat.

When the news was shared on the official NHL Facebook page, it is not surprising that everyone wanted to express their two cents.

Farewell Captain Bo Horvat!

It is difficult to digest the fact that Canucks traded their captain. Some fans are downright heartbroken. On the Facebook post, one fan wrote, “It’s a sad day for Canuck fans. So sorry Bo, trading you at the top of your game is just inexcusable. You will be missed so much and I will wear my Captain Bo jersey with great pride and memories of a wonderful captain who was the heart & soul of our team. ❤️😢”

One follower was unhappy with the treatment Horvat received during his tenure with the Canucks. They commented, “Mixed feelings. I was never a big Horvat fan until he stepped up this year but remember listening to him get drafted by the Canucks saw and how they glorified him into their future captain while he remained mediocre until now, Seems like a big slap in the face to the fans and even to Horvat. Hope he is treated good in NYI.”

Some people were ready to boycott the team. One fan wrote, “I AM DONE WITH VANCOUVER….”. Others expressed how they were going to miss Horvat and wished him luck. In that sentiment, one comment read, “Good for Bo!! He now gets to play for an NHL team!!”. Another person added, “The Islanders got a great faceoff centerman and leader, having his best season. He’s free from the orca mess now, wish him success.”

While the feelings of the masses are clearly mixed, what exactly does the trade mean for both the Canucks and the Islanders?

Trade Analysis: Who is Coming to Vancouver?

It’s no secret that the Canucks have not been at their best this season. But who would have imagined that they would trade Bo Horvat for Anthony Beauvillier, Aatu Raty, and a conditional first-round selection in the 2023 NHL Draft? the Islanders were in a dire need of a good scorer, and they did not waste time snatching up Horvat from the Canucks.

There is one thing that Bo Horvat fans are definitely not happy about. The Islanders are not in the playoffs just yet, and that could go either way. Beauvillier was not living up to his potential with the Islanders. Hopefully, he will click with the Canucks and end the season with a comeback. A lot of speculation surrounds this blockbuster trade, but only time will tell who gets a better return on their investment. Do you think the trade between Canucks and Islanders was a fair one?
