Seravalli: Really decent chance Conor Garland is traded today

[Reverend Mayhem]

Hoping we get a healthy return, I really like Garland.

 

[Disappointed EP40]

I imagine to lose one of the bad contracts garland needs to be attached

 

[Cor]

I wouldn't mind the Leafs being involved on him

 

[HockeyVirus]

I could see the Leafs picking him up, going on one last run, then choosing to move Nylander in the offseason to fix the cap, and keep the cheaper cap hit for only a slight downgrade on F while adding either a big piece somewhere else or stocking up with futures.

 

[Lt Dan]

So the Canucks trade a high first for Garland and sign him to a cap-friendly multi-year deal, and now he’s on the block in season 1 after playing well? I’m very confused?

Welcome to the new normal

 

[StickShift]

I would not be upset at all if we move Garland and OEL in the same deal. Seattle??

 

[Browntrout]

"Really decent" lol

This made me laugh, too

 

[milehigh11]

Would love him on the Avs. Would be a piece for our 2nd line next year when everyone is a FA. Joe needs to do a couple moves now with Landy and Girard out for pretty much the rest of the season

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

What's Garland worth?

 

[CupInSIX]

Marino & Kapanen for Garland perhaps?

 

[Deadly Dogma]

I still want Miller. Like alot!

Grosssssss overpayment.

Even Garland for Marino 1 for 1 is a toss up.

 

[Riptide]

I don't really get why, though - Garland's a really good player, on a fairly priced contract he just signed, and is in his prime. Those are the types of player you keep, no?

Usually. But it wasn't Rutherford that traded for him and signed him. That said... you'd think he's an ideal Rutherford like player. Faster, skates hard all the time, has some skill and is signed to a decent contract.

 

[iFan]

Boeser staying and Garland being traded makes me

 

[seafoam]

Trader Jim day!

 

[Advanced stats]

Can he play 2nd line LW?

Garland - Tavares - Nylander.

 

[The Wahligator]

If Garland were the exact same player but 2 inches taller he’d be untouchable. Size bias still a thing in the NHL.

 

[CupInSIX]

Grosssssss overpayment.

Even Garland for Marino 1 for 1 is a toss up.

Vancouver needs to throw in Pearson too.

 

[orby]

Marino & Kapanen for Garland perhaps?

Marino and Garland probably have roughly equal value. I don't see them adding Kapanen in the deal. In any case, the Pens can't deal Marino without getting a defenseman back who plays on the same side.

 

[Tkachuk4MVP]

I think its a case of a ballooned market and Vancouver knows that they may get more now then in the off season

Maybe, but again, why are they trying to trade him in the first place? Whether it be now or in the off-season?

 

[David Bruce Banner]

If we can deal him for a decent pick or prospect and also move Poolman or one of our other millstone contracts I'll consider this a win.

 

[PatrikBerglund]

I really hope Garland receives a first rounder back in return. Or Benning traded away the 9th overall "Guenther" for Ekman-freaking-Larsson. The Canucks really should be trading Boeser first before Garland.

Thing is, only a contender would make a trade for him now, which means that 1st rounder will be 25th or lower.

The difference between that and a high 2nd is very small, when it comes to probability to draft an impactful NHL player with it.

Schenn?

Petts for Garland make it happen Jimmy Rutherford
