"It's been a lot of years in the rebuild stage and. . . at this point in the season, it just feels like it's never going to happen, like we're never going to win again," said a frustrated Horvat following Saturday night's blowout loss to the Buffalo Sabres.
Should the Canucks continue to struggle over the next month or so, a trade request from Horvat could be coming sooner than the trade deadline. As much as the Canucks would like to resign their captain, it does not appear that Horvat will be willing to stay if the situation doesn't improve.
