Former Vancouver Canucks general manager Patrik Allvin once tried to spin the return in the Bo Horvat deal as essentially three first-round picks in exchange for the club’s former captain. Allvin’s premise was that the Canucks received one actual first-round selection, plus Anthony Beauvillier, who was a late first-round pick in the 2015 Draft (28th…
