Glad to see Martin carry over his play from his last stint. Looks like he has potential to be a solid, long term backup.
There is absolutely no chance we get a top 10 pick for Garland. Those high picks are extremely valuable, especially in this flat cap era. Sadly Benning didn’t understand th3 value in top picks.
Just curious....what were the future considerations, and have we given them already?No kidding. Future considerations?!
He’s looked so composed in his limited action, and been a major player for Abbotsford, too. Terrific find.
I’ll believe our owner is keeping his hands off when Miller is traded. If we go into next season with Miller (signed or not) then I think that’s evidence our owner is setting the direction for our team.Cool.
Also.
Im not willing to move blame from our management to our owner at this point, even if they do something I dont want them to do.
Like Halak’s best game?What does Martin's bad game look like?
He's not running the team. I doubt he starts meddling in affairs this early after the hammering he got during the Benning years. The only reason to trade Garland is there is no interest in Boeser at all. It becomes a value judgement between Boeser+garland's trade assets vs Garland+Boeser's trade assets. Not an easy equation to judge without knowing their trade values. I'm hoping someone really wants Boeser.Betweenness Garland and Boeser, which does our owner prefer? Sadly I think he’s a Boeser fan. So Garland, who is by far better and on a great contract, will be the guy who is traded.

Agreed, the way this team battled and pushed for the playoffs has made for one of the most memorable and exciting seasons in my time as a fan (~35 years).Sad that there’s just two more games to go for this group. Hopefully they go out on a high,
I wont believe that.I’ll believe our owner is keeping his hands off when Miller is traded. If we go into next season with Miller (signed or not) then I think that’s evidence our owner is setting the direction for our team.
Even though the score flatters us, that was an ugly win. Excellent first period, then legitimately have to wonder if the team was scoreboard watching and just lost their will to play after. Totally listless and uninspired. Some poor officiating didn’t help, but amidst the head scratching calls were some lazy penalties that didn’t help.
Nice to see Martin come in and pick up the W, and happy to see some offense from our back end. Schenn, OEL and Hughes all found the net tonight.
Said before, Garland really book ending this season with hot runs of play. If the Canucks were thinking at all about moving on from this player, I hope they’ve decided against that. He’s been a major play driver since rounding back into form after a mid season lull.
Sad that there’s just two more games to go for this group. Hopefully they go out on a high, and then it’ll be an interesting offseason.
Why is it even a question? Garland is clearly the better player and on a great contract. Boeser should be the guy out, even if that’s just letting him walk for cap space. Hope I’m wrong, but I really believe ou4 owner sets the club’s philosophical direction.He's not running the team.

We fans can choose how we think. I think our owner is a guy who meddles in th3 direction of the team. I think he sets the philosophy. Any big trades go though him for approval. My opinion. I for sure hope I’m m way off base. But the history of this owner suggests otherwise.I wont believe that.
I will judge the current management on what they do or dont do.
Just like I did the previous management.
Good post-game interviews with Hughes and Martin. I'm always blown away by the mental maturity of 22 year old Hughes.
Dallas eliminating them by getting to OT and the lack of effort from that point, probably not a coincidence.Even though the score flatters us, that was an ugly win.

When Francesco fired Benning and Green, and the team had no coach, he asked Rutherford basically for permission to hire Boudreau. And that was before Rutherford had actually been hired, so I don't think Francesco is telling Rutherford or Allvin what to do.Why is it even a question?

He has to be humbled after the last 8 years. No doubt Gillis laid out what would happen if he didn't rebuild, he fired him and hired Benning. It unfolded just like Gillis laid it out to him. After 8 years of failure, Frankie had to be looking back to 2014 and regretting trying to push the pain down the road as all he's achieved is more pain. At some point he's going to accept a change in direction is needed or he'll face 8 years more pain. I think he might have reached that point in November.We fans can choose how we think.

Well if we can trade Myers, Pearson, Dickinson and Poolman then we don’t need to trade one of Boeser/Garland. Garland woild get more than Boeser so that’s the reason.And were trading him why exactly?
