TheDetroitRedWings 286 Report post Posted July 3, 2013 @Real_ESPNLeBrun: No one with the Jackets nor with his camp will confirm this, but I believe Nathan Horton's site visit today was in Columbus... Well so much for the reports that Horton would only sign with a "warm weather" team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Z Winged Dangler 2,082 Report post Posted July 4, 2013 Columbus plays a hard-working, gritty style, so Horton would fit right in. Gaborik-Calvert-Horton. If I were Horton, I'd be ok with heading to a BJ's team on quite the rise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ogreslayer 1,069 Report post Posted July 5, 2013 Does the shoulder surgery change his value? From the years/dollars thrown around, it doesn't look like it. And from all appearances, he's heading to C'bus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Opie 308 Report post Posted July 5, 2013 I always think teams should be very careful with players coming off of Back, shoulder, or knee surgeries. But if it is C-bus, go ahead, suck ass! I do like Davidson as a gm though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frankgrimes 1,836 Report post Posted July 5, 2013 WOW his wife is one hot chick guess she's always running around in such skimpy skirts so maybe another readon why he wants to play in a warmer climate. Jackets would reeallybe afeatfit forhim he is a warrior and will bring in that winner mentality. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Crymson Report post Posted July 5, 2013 Rumor has it that Horton won't be ready to play until December. Well so much for the reports that Horton would only sign with a "warm weather" team. Did you note the "nobody will confirm this" and "but I believe" in that statement? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
