Friedman: Coyotes may consider offers for Conor Garland

[Richard88]

Hypothetically speaking would COL 2021 1st + Timmins get close? If not, how much more would Avs need to add to that?

 

[Chips]

I’d like the Bruins to add him. Maybe the Canes? Idk what their assets are. Edit: I think I remember the Avs have some decent prospects. That’d be a great add if they could,

I feel like basically anyone should trade as many 2021 picks as Arizona wants, this could be a miss or miss draft

Toronto will probably get him, and be let down by goaltending round one

 

[The Moose is Loose]

I'm trying to put myself in the shoes of the Arizona front office and the only possible way I can see Garland being offered is because the management believes with no impressive center depth they won't go anywhere. They have a piece they can build around on the backend with Chychurn but they'd be willing to move Garland for a recent 1st round pick who is a center that projects to be a 1st liner.

So maybe for Newhook + salary + a pick they could be convinced, but even then Garland is pretty young to be shipping off because you're rebuilding.

 

[ottomaddox]

Sorry Friedman. Your sources are wet paper bags. I'm going with The Fourth Period from now on for insider information.

 

[Castle8130]

Yeah and trade Chychrun too

 

[Grimes]

Hypothetically speaking would COL 2021 1st + Timmins get close? If not, how much more would Avs need to add to that?

You left out Newhook.

 

[Esq]

I doubt we consider it. He’s our best player by far and a future captain.

trade Garland for a first round pick and pray that first round pick turns into Garland? Seems like an ass-backward approach.

This last part x1000. Never understood trading a guy for a 1st hoping that 1st turns out to be as good as said guy. Just keep the guy!

 

[Kuznetsnow]

Unless it's part of a package with Chychrun for Drasaitl (would probably need to add in Kuemper and one of schmaltz/dvorak and take back koskinen as well) I don't see any trade worth it for them

Add Newhook.

 

[Jakey53]

That's a lot to give up for two players.

Would you trade Marner and Anderson for that group?

 

[Fisticuffer]

When I listened to this last night my take was that E.F heard the Yotes had received calls and dismissed then. Everything he said afterward struck me as 100% baseless speculation on his part.

As usual, these guys want us to think the are doing their job, so they make up trades etc.

Doubt Toronto picks him up, he's an RFA after this year and i don't think they can afford to pay him. He'd be a good fit though for sure

He has a knack for expanding on factual information with his thoughts. He does so without taking a pause between where the factual information ends and his fantasy talk begins which can lead to confusion. He’s turned it into an art form.

More like a highly paid "NHL insider".

You mean you fail at reading/listening comprehension, and can’t decipher the difference between fact reporting and speculation.

Where did I say I personally struggled to differentiate?

 

[Montecristo]

25 is not that young

yeah hes 7-9 years away from a decline

There are only a couple of worthwhile things about the Coyotes franchise. Garland is one.

It would be really hard to follow the Yotes without Garland. He gives AZ some sort of hope.

 

[RationalExpectations]

It would be really hard to follow the Yotes without Garland. He gives AZ some sort of hope.

The issue is that this team is sitting in no man s land currently : not the players for a cup run, not a strong prospect pool and no 1st for the upcoming draft. I think they would require a strong payment but I get why they would let him go if a team is ready to pay 1st + very good prospect. On the other hand, you could argue that all the cap going out in the next two years may be an opportunity to sign very good UFAs and build on Keller Schmalz Chychrun, in which case Garland is a nice piece to have.

 

[GoldenSeal]

The only time something this batsh-t makes sense is if you’re in win-now mode and need that one particular missing piece.

The Yotes are VERY far from that point.

 

[One Winged Angel]

I don’t see them doing it, they’d have to blown away.

Is this the hockey version of car dealers ads that excitedly/breathlessly claim that "All loan applications will be accepted for processing...". Well no shit, the loan app will be processed ... and then, if you've got lousy credit, declined. Nothing about 'all loan applications will be accepted', so they aren't lying but...

Here, of course AZ 'may consider offers'. Hell, Toronto 'may consider offers on AM' or Edmonton 'may consider offers on McDavid'... that in no way means that they have any interest in accepting any of them. But I can see AZ talking to other GMs 'Sure, if you're willing to back up the truck & way overpay, we're willing to listen. If you aren't willing to do so though...well, have a nice day'

Bad example for multiple reasons. Arizona as a car dealership running ads on their players implies that they are actively shopping Garland. Arizona isn't shopping Garland. Friedman said that teams are calling Arizona about Garland.

If McDavid or Matthews were pending RFAs with arbitration rights and a year or two until being a UFA their teams would probably be more likely to listen to offers than if they are locked in for 5+ years. Arizona is in a bit of a tough spot (as Toronto was with Matthews) because Garland will point to Clayton Keller as a direct internal comparison.
