It was McDiver and DraiBaby after all, I mean how much could it have hurt? I did like Joshua answering the bell. I like that McDavid hit 188 lb Hronek into the boards, then Petey said “hold my beer,” and knocked 210 lb Ceci clear out of the zone. 1 2 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a big difference is Baby Whiner McDavid cowardly hit a guy whose back was turned. Petey the Great hit a guy heroically from the front. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's so wrong.Garland is paid fair value for his contract.Anybso called expert ( analyst) has there head so far up their arse if they think retaining 30% plus a sweetener is needed. To me there was three RHD on waivers that would suit our team .Fair trade would be Garland and Woo straight across. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, the Canucks might be better off waiting for Bear to get healthy and sign him. I think Fabbro still has a higher ceiling, but at this point I would say he and Bear are quite comparable. I wouldn't necessarily be opposed to a one-for-one to also shed salary, but hell no to retaining on Garland for him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other two would be great, not sure if we can expect much more than cap space though. Even though he’s worth more. My view is we keep him until someone is willing to pay his worth.

Yeah, and for that reason, I doubt WPG is a fit, unless they want to give up Villardi I suppose Stanley +Appleton or something could work too but Nashville seems a better fit personally. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard pass. It is nonsense and just a temporary artifact of the flat cap. We are almost done with that period and suddenly his contract goes from being overpaid to being fair or a deal. He is probably our 4th best winger after Kuzmenko, Mikheyev, and Boeser. Maybe he doesn’t fit what the team needs or doesn’t complement the guys on one two top lines, but he isn’t trash and is a legit 2nd line forward on many teams, 3rd line on most. If you can move him and get a token return, his loss is mitigated by the cap space and what you can do with it. Next summer and the summer after, teams will be signing players worse than Garland for more money. He becomes moveable at that point, even if the return isn’t much. It would be very Canucks to give up future assets and future dead cap right before the point where it would be taken care of naturally by the larger economics of the game or contracts expiring. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm ok with paying something moderate (a 3rd or Rathbone and a 4th or similar) as long as we get a better fitting player back (Trenin or Sissons for example). But yeah if teams want 1sts and top prospects etc fuck that. We can just wait until summer where we have a tonne of expiring cap and a rising cap ceiling removing basically any leverage they have.

Yes for sure... if the return is "something" or even nothing I am fine with that. Cap space has value just on its own. I was high on a guy like Wade Allison as a return as an example. Something that has very little value but some potential upside for being a better fitting player for what Tocchet wants to do and complement the guys we have. He will probably be nothing more than a bottom six player or even an AHLer but there is a hail mary chance he develops into a complementary power forward who can play in a top six role performing a basic function of board battles, forechecking, and getting the puck to the offensive guys. We need players who fit that profile, and that is why a fringe NHLer like Di Guiseppe is having success in the kind of system Tocchet has. Retaining cap is a non starter as we don't have spare cap going forward with the OEL buyout eating up raises in the cap ceiling. Whatever we can replace Garland with for $3.25 million in cap space plus $1.25 million in retained salary isn't likely to be better than Garland. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. Also, if we can keep winning and Garland plays well at the same time, it will change everything. Ya, it's very optimistic, but why deal from a position of perceived weakness when we may not even be weak. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devron Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Good to just keep Garland. He’s much better on the team as opposed to paying to trade him imo 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
