As much as Flames fans seem to hate on Horvat I think he's going to end up as a fantastic player and I'm not sure the gap between him and Monahan is going to end up as big as Flames fans think it will in a couple years. Hate having to defend Horvat but he seems criminally underrated around here at times. Monahan obviously more of an impact player early on but I think the gap will close somewhat.
Blah. Hate having to defend Canucks. We'd take Horvat on our team any time though, kid is gonna be a player.

Some people were saying they'd wouldn't trade Jankowski for Horvat. That baffled me. Horvat is a proven solid young centre. Jankowski is not. Now you can argue that maybe he will be better, but Horvat has proven what his floor is, and his ceiling is quite high IMO.
