Comments for Horton to the Bruins for Wideman at http://hockey.dobbersports.com , comment 1 to 11 out of 11 comments http://hockey.dobbersports.com Tue, 21 May 2013 03:22:47 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.3 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/19-nhl-deals/2887-horton-to-the-bruins-for-wideman#comment-6633 shocked that this was the best offer florida got for a big young forward who has put up 30 goals before. His cap hit of $4m is very reasonable, and I can't help but feel Florida would've seen better offers on draft day. I'll be looking to acquire Horton this year, hoping for 40 goals, 70 points from him. - Andrew Wed, 23 Jun 2010 04:32:13 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/19-nhl-deals/2887-horton-to-the-bruins-for-wideman#comment-6626 Hortons tude had Tallon in handcuffs- but not sure Wideman helps them much. If Horton continues to crap the bed, this may work in FLA's favour. time for him to put up some big numbers. - Larry Tue, 22 Jun 2010 20:05:42 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/19-nhl-deals/2887-horton-to-the-bruins-for-wideman#comment-6624 ...why no mention of the effect on the forwards in Florida? Horton led Florida forwards in icetime per game, and removing him is either a huge opportunity for someone to step up, or a huge hit on his previous linemates.

I don't believe a trade will ever hurt his value, and some trades may help his value. This trade doesn't hurt or help. - Dobber Tue, 22 Jun 2010 15:06:33 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/19-nhl-deals/2887-horton-to-the-bruins-for-wideman#comment-6622 I could see Wheeler being moved for the 1st overall pick. - Repent Tokyo Tue, 22 Jun 2010 15:06:09 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/19-nhl-deals/2887-horton-to-the-bruins-for-wideman#comment-6619 Does this move by Boston hurt Blake Wheeler? The wingers just received a shuffle. Any comments? - Jonny Cremo Tue, 22 Jun 2010 14:13:10 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/19-nhl-deals/2887-horton-to-the-bruins-for-wideman#comment-6617 Horton is worth so much now. I am happy I traded for him in one of my 2 teams (i thought it was a buy low). Now he is going to stay on the wing and have a very good passer down the middle on the first or second line. I am also shocked that the Bruins were able to dump Wide that they did not want anymore, and only lose a 15th rounder for a great replacement for Kessel. Florida has me really scratching my head on this one. Why would they do this. - notoriousjim Tue, 22 Jun 2010 13:30:26 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/19-nhl-deals/2887-horton-to-the-bruins-for-wideman#comment-6616 It all seems so 'bass ackwards'. Florida with an anemic offence trades one of their few top 6 forwards and arguably their best pure goal scorer. In return they receive an offensive D-man. They needed another blueliner, but the cupboard wasn't bare. Wideman's a decent blueliner, but not something you should be taking in trade for a potential 40 goal man. A 15th overall will only yield a franchise player on rare occasion. Perhaps they roll the dice with the pick on one of the Russian kids. Boston, with a plethora of forwards, brings in another top 6 type, impeding the likes of Lucic & Wheeler. Potentially they create a contract redundancy in regard to Ryder or Sturm. Their blueline which featured, just enough, but no spare materials, becomes thinner. Cap space, which was an issue before, remains the same in theory, but not in reality. They now need another blueliner and may have an excess budgeted towards their forwards. It can be successfully argued that they got a potential star in Horton, justifying the move. - Jocular Hockey Manager Tue, 22 Jun 2010 13:20:09 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/19-nhl-deals/2887-horton-to-the-bruins-for-wideman#comment-6615 How could the Panthers give up on Horton for so little in return. - Cold Squad Tue, 22 Jun 2010 12:43:41 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/19-nhl-deals/2887-horton-to-the-bruins-for-wideman#comment-6594 if Horton can elevate his game now that he's with a good team playing "meaningful" hockey, or whether he pulls an Olli Jokinen and can't figure out how to play with teammates in a tougher division. - ultrawhiteness Tue, 22 Jun 2010 10:07:24 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/19-nhl-deals/2887-horton-to-the-bruins-for-wideman#comment-6591 How do you see the Boston top 3 lines shaking down now? Perhaps they will try and keep Bergeron in the top 6 somehow along with Savard and Krecji? Anyways, this could spark a return to the Bruins of two seasons ago; one of the more dominant teams in the league. -CHeers - steve Tue, 22 Jun 2010 09:58:42 +0100
