Bo Horvat has recently declined the Canucks highest possible offer for a contract extension, and the team has now shifted their attention toward trading their captain to the highest bidder possible.
On Tuesday afternoon, the Vancouver Canucks took the unusual step of issuing a statement on behalf of their captain Bo Horvat.
The statement reads:
"I am focused on this season and playing for the Vancouver Canucks, helping the team in any way I can. I will not have any further comments this year about my future."

So far this season, the 27-year-old has 20 goals and 9 assists in 28 games. His goal total is the fourth highest among NHL players.
With a annual cap hit of just $5,500,000, Horvat is due for a massive pay raise once the 2022-23 season concludes.
