Bruins Daily: Blue Line Offense; Horvat Extension Cost; Tocchet

That, more Bruins and NHL news, and NHL trade rumors in the latest Boston Hockey Now Bruins Daily:
Boston Bruins
Hampus Lindholm and Charlie McAvoy scored and the Boston Bruins continued to get offense from the backend as they shut out the San Jose Sharks 4-0 at TD Garden on Sunday night.
Speaking of McAvoy, was his goal celly on Sunday night not reminiscent of one PK Subban’s trademark celly?

Thankfully Boston Bruins defenseman Brandon Carlo was able to play Sunday night after blocking a shot in the 3-1 win over the New York Rangers on Thursday night.
So if the Boston Bruins were to acquire Vancouver Canucks captain Bo Horvat on the NHL trade market, what would it take to make sure he’s not just a playoff rental?
