It was, infact, the Horvat with a division tax of a long shot prospect and a later round pick. The Canucks got a better pick and a prospect higher up on the trading team's prospect rankings but that is more to do with the fact NYI had a dearth of prospects. Also because Horvat was playing out of his mind.
It was the deal the Canucks were comfortable making and a deal the Flames needed.
