Confirmed with Link: [VAN/TB] Jason Garrison, 7th in 2015, Jeff Costello for TB's 2nd (50th OA)

[canuck4life16]

I think they are gunning hard for the first overall. Also, to make a splash in free agency.

1st overall + ??? for 6th overall, 36th overall and 50th overall + Tanev/Hunter/Jensen/Gaunce?

looking forward to another Otters player becoming a Canucks prospect

With absolutely no D-men on the market, how is THIS the value they extract for Jason Garrison? This is $*&#ing insane.

 

[thefeebster]

I am seriously coming apart at the seams. I am baffled by this deal. Ugly trade.

Cap dumping a good player? A good hometown boy on a great contract? What the heck is happening?

 

[Patchey*]

A top 4 D for a 2nd round pick? what the hell

 

[Barney Gumble]

Sedin - Sedin - Burrows
Moulson - Stastny - Jensen
Higgins - Bonino - Kassian
Matthias - Richardson - Hansen

Hamhuis - Bieksa
Edler - Tanev
Stanton - Sbisa

If we sign Statsny and Moulson/Cammalleri

Sbisa is a left side defenseman; not sure if having him play on the right side is going to help straighten out his game (which needs to happen as he's bad in his own zone). If Tanev or Bieksa get hurt....it'll get ugly really fast.

Not a great blueline just got worse by switching form Sbisa to Garrison right now. In the future? Who knows.

Course, I'll continue to hold out hope that Benning is able to get right side offensive D.

 

[Treefingers]

I...see. I'm not nearly as low on Garrison as most people on this board seem to be, so this deal kinda blows.

I think they are gunning hard for the first overall. Also, to make a splash in free agency.

Either that or Benning is trying to restock one of the worst prospect depth charts in the league.

which Otter player?

 

[canucksfan]

Why are so many of the chronic complainers repeatedly saying Bolland? He doesn't fit anywhere and wants way too much money.

Because Bolland has been linked to the Nucks along with Miller.

 

[MrShift4]

My guess is they're clearing space to hand out awful contracts to some overrated UFAs.

From what I have seen that sounds like Jason Garrison

 

[TheCrazedMadman]

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

What a moronic trade. People can rag on Garrison all they want, but it's not like his contract was an anchor. He was a serviceable top 4 dman who happened to have a poor season due to groin issues...

We just unloaded a valuable asset for a pick, and had to piss away a 7th too. We didn't even get a roster player back.

Ridiculous.

There's an outside chance the trade for 1OA is done and Benning is restocking picks he used to get it.

Then cap space to go after... Someone? in free agency.

This could go okay. Or not. I don't even know what to think right now.

 

[carolinacanuck]

Time for Benning and team to do some draft magic now!
That's two first round picks.
Two second round picks.
And two thirds with Annaheim's third.

We could come out of this draft with a huge haul and be well on the way to a rebuild. Or maybe the 1st overall?

exactly. this is exciting. stoked for tonight.

 

[7thGuest]

So Garrison is worth nothing? I don't get it.

This is crazy...

 

[CanadianPirate]

Wow ridiculously bad. Wow.

 

[bo2shink*]

This team is way worse than 3 hours ago

Luckily the season doesn't start in an hour.

 

[David71]

the purge has begun!

There is no salary retention by VAN in Garrison deal

That's something, I guess.

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

Will somebody hold me and tell me it'll be alright?

 

[Ventana*]

I actually like this. Never have liked Garrison.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

We finished 6th last with a team that included Garrison and Kesler.

Where the hell do we finish now?









McDavid.

 

[Jumptheshark]

may I ask a question

This goes back to the discussion right after the Luongo trade

Just to make sure I call it correctly-- are the canucks rebuilding or retooling?

Just want to make sure I call what the canucks are doing correctly and not upset anyone
