The Vancouver Canucks have been a lightning rod of news over the last number of weeks, from the start of their dismal season to their downright brutal handling and dismissal of Head coach Bruce Boudreau.

However, one piece of news Is still looming for this team and it's the fate of Canucks center and star Bo Horvat. The Canucks have been unsuccessful in retaining Horvat for the long term and have decided to go in a different direction. Horvat rejected in early December the latest contract offer by the Canucks, and has remained a high trade commodity going into the March 3rd trade deadline.

The Canucks have revealed their asking price for their captain which appears to be three players including a top prospect according to Jeff Marek of Sportsnet.

The asking price seems to be a bit high considering that Horvat is an unrestricted free agent next year and if the team trading for him cannot retain his services long-term then he would be a very expensive rental.

Horvat would be a difference-maker on many teams and give a push toward a playoff run and a potential run for the Stanley Cup.

For the Oilers, would Bo Horvat be a player they would be interested in? Would they be willing to give up players like RNH, Phillip Broberg, or Dylan Holloway to improve their center position?

We will see where Mr. Horvat will land.
