Seems to be a theme with Canada’s teams. The Leafs were perpetually rebuilding, now struggling to get out of the first round. Same with the Oilers. Sens are perpetually bad.
As for Horvat, I see it as a big loss. When he was drafted, he was touted as a playoff performer, and he showed that in the bubble year. You new guys like him in the playoffs. He still had lots of good years left on a team with Pettersson, Hughes, Demko, and now Kuzmenko. Not a long haul rebuild needed to be done here.
That said, this draft could be huge for Vancouver Probly top 6 pick, and a 15ish overall pick in a deep draft.
