The possibility of Bo Horvat leaving Vancouver had always been a topic of discussion, and on Monday it became a reality when the Canucks traded their captain to the New York Islanders. Horvat was traded in exchange for forward Anthony Beauvillier, prospect forward Aatu Raty and a conditional first-round pick in this year's draft. The Islanders' general manager Lou Lamoriello stated that Horvat brings a two-way game, is close to having a career year, and has been a 30-35 goal scorer in recent years.

The Islanders have four pending unrestricted free agents, including Horvat, and are projected to have $16.275 million in available cap space.
