Just pure speculation, especially with the news Hronek is injured apparently long-term.
Look at our right side of the defence:
Yikes
That seems really fair on paper as an outsider. Carlo's having a rough year but he's a legitimate top four D and Vancouver could absorb the loss of Garland because of guys like Lekkerimaki and Hoglander.Carlo for Garland?
Benning for a 6th rd pick?
Matt Benning from the Leafs for a 2026 7th round pick?
i highly doubt they move garland because he's a play driver and elevates any bottom 6 player he plays with. it's far more likely hoglander or lek get traded.That seems really fair on paper as an outsider.

Who went for 3 mil that is substantially better?There was substantially better d than Myers on the right side in free agency
I think the value is there, but I don't see the Canucks trading Garland, he has been very good this year. Trading him for Carlo helps our D, but creates a huge void with our forwards, especially with Miller out and Joshua still working up to games strength.That seems really fair on paper as an outsider.
