I think it’s fine we didn’t sign him to this. But…does this make our trade return shittier?
JTMilleriswortha1st
That’s an overpay thank god we didn’t sign that
FinancialStatus
Tax situation more favorable in NY. I assume he was asking a bit more in Van
Striking_Ad_4562
Whew glad we didn’t cough that up.
crap4you
Has it been leaked what the Canucks was offering?
yosoo
Damn, well good on Bo for getting the bag
Taygr
Yeah at this salary I actually think we made the right choice. Bo is having a career year but on a contender he’s a second line centre, plus giving his shooting percentage we really ought to expect some regression. Love Bo as a person but with our fucked up cap we just can’t afford it.
green-gazelle
Good for him, glad Van didn’t pay that.
NerdPunch
Well deserved for Bo, but man the Islanders are so mid. I was really hoping he sign with an up and coming team.
He’a got 68 million reasons to sign in NYI though.
enterthedragonpunch
Yup, he wanted the same contract as Miller. Isles are going to regret this one big time. Love Horvat but unless the cap suddenly went up $5,000,000 that value and term is absurd for a player that is almost assuredly going to return to being a ~60 point player
Teriyakijack
RIP to those running on hopium that he’d come back after the season and sign with us at a massive discount
A lot of people here haven’t paid attention to the market value for scoring centres if they’re calling this an overpay.
Any-Representative25
Lmao Islanders…they will be us in a few years
monkey314
Have they normally used a photoshopped image for signings? or is that AI’d?
Sinochick
8.5M x 8 years = 68 Million! Happy for Bo but glad Canucks didn’t sign that contract.
krandall_69
Whoa, good for Bo for securing the bag. But yeah, too much AAV on a contract that won’t age well. Glad we ended up dealing him if that was the ask.
De_Floppss
I hope Bo proves that he’s worth that 8.5×8 but feelings aside, Im glad we didn’t sign him to that fat contract
but like are the isles really a team you want to commit to long term if you wanted a cup? idk doesn’t make a lot of sense except feeling like Bo wanted out is my conjecture
gangstarapmademe
Good for Bo, we cannot afford 8.5 and hes not worth that. I struggle with giving him above 6.
DiscoTots
I think …. We won the trade ? Even if Beauvillier doesn’t work out he’s under $5 mil for only 2 years . Rare W for Canucks management.
brodiefilm
I assume this allays our fears of Lou flipping Horvat for a higher return at the deadline?
GangreneMachine
8.5×8….yikes. That’s not gonna age well.
Good for Bo and his agent
WhatTheBrock
8 x 8.5 Mil. The Horvats did well for themselves. Great job captain!
thelifeisthedream
Seems like Bo knew he gonna sign on the island as he said stuff like last time Petey, deal done part of the trade probably
TacoQueenYVR
8.5? Lol get the fuck outta here.
I would rather be backing the Brinks truck up for Petey, tbh.
LittleDogPockets
holy fuck. 8.5 for 8 is going to age worse than my shitty Walmart shoes by like April.
intelligentx5
Thanks Bo.
We couldn’t keep you and shouldn’t keep you at $8.5M. Best of luck.
BambiesMom
Any word on trade protection?
Nomad_0024
That is disgusting. Thank god we didn’t add that to this circus already with JTs deal.

Well done, Bo! Congratulations Isles!
