Carol Schram: Halak starts in Chicago and the Canucks' Conor Garland could be trade bait The Vancouver Canucks wrap up their road trip and roll into the All-Star Break with back-to-back games in Chicago and Nashville, as Conor Garland's name has been strategically introduced into trade-bait conversations.

Thanks Carol!

Not as inclined to trade Garland. He's a year younger than Bo, so still fits the range of the team. Good cap hit, lots of control on his contract. If some team is going to overpay, then sure – but if it's just to move on from him, I don't see as much value to that.

Agreed. To me trading arguably your best forward at 5v5 right now who’s turning 26 this year doesn’t make much sense, especially given that he’s locked into a solid contract as well.

If they do move him, I have two theories:

1) They’re getting offered poop for Boeser so in their mind Boeser + Garland trade return > Garland + Boeser trade return

2) Garland has quietly asked for a trade. Check out his Twitter “likes”. He’s not big on covid restrictions so I’d imagine he prefers to play down south.

Or they just straight up don’t value him as highly as other teams do

I am all for trading anyone and everyone on this team except Martin, who is now my favourite Canuck.

Same. I wonder if some team wants a look at him(Halak), before they commit a pick or a prospect for him?

Well since you had such kind words, I guess you and Martin are my favourite Canucks.

Ya, could see him not wanting to play in Canada. Or, like you said, Ruthy and Bouds just don't like his style...

Thank you Carol.

He signed under the old regime. Perhaps there has been a shift in priorities.

Maybe Benning promised him he could join the caravan to Ottawa, and now Rutherford told him no.

After giving up a 1st, and dumping 1 year of Rouselll, Beagle and Erickson for Garland and 10 mil OEL. What would be the expected, realistic, return for Garland? ( not Lefty’s expectations).
Benning was touted as a genius on here by some for dumping past mistakes to Arizona. Now Canucks new management team wants to trade Garland?

Where’s Bloated I’m sure he can find some past comments for this. Some were creaming their pants with the departure of those 3 and the addition of OEL and Garland.
