Confirmed Trade: [VAN/ARI] Ekman-Larsson (12% ret.), Garland for Beagle, Roussel, Eriksson, 9th OA, '22 2nd, '23 7th

[Just Linda]

Benning probably just went and totally redeemed himself!

He's irredeemable

 

[Anaheim4ever]

Arizona is really wanting to get into the Wright sweepstakes 2022 and Bedard sweepstakes 2023.
Just move that team to another state or country already.

 

[iFan]

How does Van take on OEL and re-sign Hughes, Pettersson and Garland? OEL isn’t really a fit on our D with Hughes already locked in and with all the promise Rathbone has shown.

9th better be going to AZ and nothing more of value going back toVAN

9th+Eriksson+Roussel for OEL+Garland is fine with me.

 

[BCNate]

He is, I really like Garland. But OEL has one of the worst contracts in the league.

Agreed, but really depends on what else goes to AZ. If it's Myers, that really changes things.

 

[BertCorbeau]

So.. dumping a lot of salary to bring salary back in a not so good way... And dumping salary to bring salary back while giving up the 9th OA pick?

Well that's just fun

 

[Canucks LB]

Plz no 1st overall

 

[Nucker42]

Benning cannot be outdone….. Fletcher hold my beer

 

[Stormbreaker]

Benning!!!!!!

 

[Aqualung]

Plz no 1st overall

Boy are we in for it

 

[Soundgarden]

If the goal is the save money and ice a AHL team then yeah, sure.

They started out with no 1st and then got a couple seconds and warm bodies for free. If they get 9 for OEL it would be a good start to the rebuild, certainly sucks to give up Garland though.

9th better be going to AZ and nothing more of value going back toVAN

9th+Eriksson+Roussel for OEL+Garland is fine with me.

I honestly believe this is what the deal will look like

 

[DJB]

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Ridiculous unless Arizona is eating a bunch of the OEL contract.

 

[MMC]

 

[Nucker42]

Garland should be the sweetener for OEL not the f***ing 9th overall pick

 

[BrilliantBroReferee]

So.. dumping a lot of salary to bring salary back in a not so good way... And dumping salary to bring salary back while giving up the 9th OA pick?

Well that's just fun

Dump salaries that expire next year and take on an albatros contract in OEL

 

[Aqualung]

9th better be going to AZ and nothing more of value going back toVAN

9th+Eriksson+Roussel for OEL+Garland is fine with me.

Bet you Schmidt or Holtby is involved as well

 

[viper0220]

So what about Pettersson and Hughes?

They get traded to Calgary for Monahan+12th overall pick

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Oh man, Benning is going to absolutely screw this up, OEL with no retention has little-to-no value and Garland doesn't excite me that much

Garland is pretty beastly, I like him a lot.

 

[CokenoPepsi]

Wtf, OEL signed for 6 years 8 million per.

Don't get it for Vancouver

 

[redwings8831]

 

[Canucks LB]

9th gone

 

[Jozay]

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

I like this for Canucks

Depending on the price and what garbage they can send Yotes way

Edit - wow they get to send Yotes all their junk contracts??? I like it
