Confirmed with Link: Canucks sign F Conor Garland to 5-Year Deal ($4.95M AAV)

[Baby Pettersson]

Stoked to have this player. Ceiling is very high. 1st line potential imo.

Mod Note: Keep the discussion strictly about the player and not the trade.

As much as I dislike the trade, I do really like Garland.

He gets picked on a lot, naturally having been one of the only forwards a worth a bean on Arizona. Hopefully we do a better job defending him and letting him be free to play his game than they did.

 

[David71]

this kid can score. let him play his game if tg lets him he will flourish alongside horvat. reminds me of brad marchand lite without the dirty antics

 

[DKH]

He’s a UFA in 2 years ?

Garland BO Hog
Pearson Dick Pod
Motte ? Mac
Highmore
I’m happy

Garland's #1 attribute is his competitiveness



Here he is annoying the shit out of MacKinnon to the point where they end up fighting. MacK has like sixty pounds on Garland and he gives no f***s. It's like this all the time. You will absolutely love him for the entertainment alone.

Love this player, sucks that he's going to be forever associated with this trade though

It’s looking like a decent forward group now.

Our top-6 looks legit next year.

Miller - Pettersson - Boeser
Garland - Horvat - Hoglander

Problem is now our D.

Sad that this quality player will be associated with this garbage trade. I’m actually really excited to have him on the team.

 

[Nucker101]

at least he's used to Benning treatment lol

 

[timw33]

Extremely excited for Garland and just trying to bury my completely overwhelming anger about the rest of the details of how he got here.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Garland is a guy I'm excited to have here.

 

[timw33]

Evolving Wild has him projected at a hair shy of $4.7MM for 4 year deal.

 

[ChilliBilly]

He’s a UFA in 2 years ?

RFA at the end of this year

 

[Snatcher Demko]

The Canucks top 6 is actually very solid, and that's without Pod and Dickinson.

I just sort of feel bad for Rathbone.

 

[DoanStopBelievin]

You guys are going to love him every single night

 

[Angry Little Elf]

Dude had 40 points in 50 games on a bad Arizona team. He’s legit

 

[thefutures]

Any guess on what his next deal will be?

 

[WhiteCurse]

Hoglander - Horvat - Garland

I really do like the looks of this line. Gets Hog back on his natural side. The wingers may be little but they are game

 

[vanarchy]

GARLAND AND HORVAT ON THE SAME LINE

 

[Angry Little Elf]

Hoglander - Horvat - Garland

I really do like the looks of this line. Gets Hog back on his natural side. The wingers may be little bit they are game

The HGH line.

 

[garbageteam]

Guy actually looks pretty good even though I barely knew he existed prior. Good stats. Won't mention the trade other than it's a shame to be associated with it. Hope he plays well and as a player is judged on that rather than the price paid.

 

[UrbanImpact]

Legit 1st line player!

In watching him I always got a Debrincat vibe with Marchand's gritt and peskyness.

He will be a fan favorite and a gamer!

Only 25 years old!

This might be a bigger boost for us than us getting Miller.
