Garrison could be a low cost, low risk option for Bergevin to make it through the year with a guy that can eat minutes and potentially play alongside Shea Weber if he finds his game from a couple years ago. Does he have anything left in the tank and if so, what would he cost the Habs? Currently a UFA making 650k.

Stop giving us veteran defenseman... but if you take Alzner for him, we will sent Alzner by purolator the faster we can

Where is Garrison these days? He was terrific when Campbell was paired with him and was feeding him pucks to fire at the net.

Soup got a lot of guys paid.
He helped get himself paid, not sure why that wasn't his job going forward...did Vegas even bother trying him like that?

He was always a mediocre skater and then the league just literally passed him by. He’s terrible at turning inside and gets burned to the outside quite often.
Most teams started to just let him fire it with open lanes as he’d shoot it so wildly it would hit the glass 7-10ft in the air, ring around the zone and out. His accuracy was Willie Mitchell with his 10ft long stick levels.

Garrison can't skate. At all. He was a poor skater even when he was having some success back in the day in Florida, just masked by playing with Campbell. These days, he's functionally not mobile.

There's a reason Garrison is on essentially a vet minimum contract. He's not capable of anything resembling "playing minutes with Shea Weber". Even back in his "prime", Garrison would've been a poor partner for Weber. Weber needs a guy with some mobility. Today's Garrison would be a downright catastrophe.

Do not want unless Alzner is included.

If Alzner is included then Lucic would have to be included just to make the cap work. Garrison make league minimum and I highly doubt that he gets traded for anyone making more than a million

He still has a cannon of a shot. No comment on the rest of his game.
