Because thats when he was in the top six and it demonstrates the production he is capable of when playing with higher caliber players and with more ice time.

Similar trade to the Toffoli one imo.
1st + Good Prospect + random late picks I would suspect is the ask. That’s probably his value but I would think Vancouver has no reason to trade him so it may take more than that

I dont think some people realize that garland gets basically zero PP time, and is our best 5v5 player.
Again, trading him would be incredibly stupid, unless they get a fortune.

He got better every year except this year where he's been the same as he was last year. I expect him to continue to get better when he's put in more of a position to succeed. He has flashes where you wonder why he gets so little ice time.

You can have the opinion that Newhook is more valuable than Garland if you'd like that's fair, but calling it a "landslide victory" is foolishness imo

Multiple teams should be interested in Garland. I don't really see what trading a good, productive forward like Garland on a solid contract does for the Canucks. But...
If an offer like this landed on my desk, i'd fax that directly in to the NHL head office without blinking. I really don't know where the impression Van fans don't need or want Ty Smith comes from. For my money, he's exactly the sort of guy they should be targeting. I mean, it'd be better if he were a bit bigger. But he's exactly the sort of high upside transition defender they could absolutely use, while trying to reinvent their sad blueline.
Zacha is whatever. 40pt sort of winger with a little bit of versatility, and the potential to have some bigger years in a complementary role with the right linemates. That works for me though. As long as his upcoming contract demands aren't completely insane. I think he'd be a solid addition to the mix, and he does bring an element of size and speed that would be welcome. Even if he's not as skilled or productive as Garland, that's a reasonable enough backfill i think, and in the right age range to be useful.

You do realize there's a reason why his ice time has gone down right? It's because he hasn't played good and has pretty much rotated from lines 1-3 the entire season

Would love Garland next to Hughes in NJ but like other Canucks fans have said not sure why they'd trade him with the exodus of guys possibly in Miller and Boeser.

Garland is tied with Horvat and Boeser with 31 points this season.
Horvat has 12 power play points
Boeser has 13 power play points
Garland has 2 power play points
If we trade Boeser and Garland takes his spot on PP1, I expect his point totals to skyrocket.

That or they hired a new GM who doesn't have any emotional attachment to the current roster.

Yeah...you clearly do not know what kind of player he is... soft he is not.

AVs are not moving Newhook. 2C will be a future need and lack depth in this position. He’s playing 3C/4C with poor wingers and on a ELC deal. Garland is an excellent Winger, but not a team need.

I like him as a player but don't know how the 5 mill fits long term.
If you're confident you can unload Kerfoot in the off-season then I guess it's worth exploring.

I guess so, but Garland is a hell of a player on a good contract. Why would he even be available?
