Might help them be a playoff type team for a couple extra years, but the no cup jokes will live for a few more years.

I actually don't know about this. Horvat's like 215lbs, isn't he? He's reportedly quite mature. The Canucks have no third line centre. I wouldn't be terribly surprised to see him compete for a roster spot in training camp, and put him on the track Ryan Kesler was on (he played bottom 6 for his first couple of years).
EDIT: Nevermind, 205, read it wrong. Still, he has the size to play with men.
