Canucks & Bruins in serious talks about Horvat deal

While there is still some work to be done, the Vancouver Canucks and Boston Bruins are in serious talks about a trade featured around pending unrestricted free agent Bo Horvat, according to Jimmy Murphy of Boston Hockey Now.

Horvat, 27, is a hot commodity on the trade market right now given that he and the Canucks appear to be set to part ways prior to the trade deadline. He is having a season to remember in his contract year with 30 goals and 48 points in 43 games. The goal total is just one away from his career high set the season prior.

While the Bruins are believed to be the most interested at this time, Horvat is also said to have garnered significant interest from the Colorado Avalanche, Detroit Red Wings, Carolina Hurricanes, and the Seattle Kraken. With the deadline still well over a month away there is no real rush to make a move in the coming days, but it is clear that a number of teams are starting to put together some legitimate proposals.
