Eklund: Where Will Conor Garland Go?

Nashville!

This is not the time to be making trades. Rosters are set. Cap has been allocated. Nobody is in the market for a $5M middle 6 winger. This is the same reason why guys like Hellebuyck and Scheifele didn't get traded and why guys like Nylander aren't going anywhere, despite all the E4 talk. Maybe by Jan/Feb teams start to have a better sense of where they are headed, and what their draft capital might look like. Cap hit is also more manageable. That does put a dent in the rumour business though.

from Canucks
Garland and Lafferty
total $6.1 mil cap space

from Chicago
Tyler Johnson (1/2 salary retained), Kurashev, Rangers 2025 4th round pick
total $4.75 mil cap space

Vancouver saves $1.35 mil in cap space this year and $6 mil next year. Hawks have plenty of cap space. Johnson is a rental and could be flipped at the deadline by the Canucks. Kurashev is 24 and signed through next year. Lafferty is a rental. Garland has two more years on his contract.

Basically Hawks gamble that Garland is a 50 pt per year player with some upside. (Maybe more if playing on Bedard's line.) Canucks clear some space and get a veteran presence for their locker room, also get a young cheap 3rd line player that could play up and down the lineup, and a mid round draft pick.

Hey Ek –

Time to get a new Canucks blogger! Read your PMs

For those keeping score at home, hockey knowledge and expertise doesn't grow on trees. $$$$$

I hope it’s Chicago

Whoever can take on the cap and give up a prospect D or pick.

good grief.

It might also be time to get a new Jets blogger. Seems like we don’t have anyone anymore.

Is he related to Judy Garland 🤔 ❓️

Uhm not a chance it does not help Canucks at all.

Ask Judy after she gets back from seeing the wizard.

If it’s a pure salary dump, very little will be going back to Vancouver. Maybe 4th round pick.

Some suggested this on the Sens page:

Brannstrom to Vancouver
Garland to Nashville
3rd rounder from Nashville to Ottawa

To Vancouver: William Nylander
To NYI: Conor Garland
To Toronto: JG Pageau + 4th round pick

It crashed due to all the traffic of the blockbuster between Pittsburgh and Vancouver. I'm sure Wk had it on his chart...

Who?

To Vancouver: William Nylander

What EK should do is fix this f'g site.
It goes down more than my 1st GF.

Not on a rollercoaster, that’s for sure.
