No Miller?

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

What contender can take Pearson?

I hope Hexy isn’t reuniting with him like he did Carter.

 

[Cogburn]

No Miller?

We've received nothing but offers of second tier assets for him on HF, so our managements' response is to make second tier forwards available.

So you can expect 3rd tier offers for these guy? (5th tier for Pearson….)

Give up a top 10 pick to acquire Garland and sign him to a good contract only to trade him less than a year later after a productive year.

Head scratcher IMO

 

[Riggins]

No idea why they would trade Garland, Bowser is the big ticket guy who should be out of there before next season

ARZ signed him to his current contract.

Edit: oops my bad, delete

 

[kingpest19]

ARZ signed him to his current contract.

He signed it with Vancouver after the trade

 

[DistantThunderRep]

ARZ signed him to his current contract.

No they didn't

 

[Love]

ARZ signed him to his current contract.

No. Benning did.

 

[SEALBound]

Yeah, there was a lot more to the Garland/OEL trade with Arizona than just player value.

 

[Hoglander]

Yeah, there was a lot more to the Garland/OEL trade with Arizona than just player value.

Exactly. People saying that van traded a top 10 pick for garland, are completely ignoring all the other parts in the trade, and somehow thinking that Benning viewed OEL as a cap dump despite trying to trade for him over the coarse of 2 offseasons. Completely out to lunch

 

[Siludin]

What contender can take Pearson?

I hope Hexy isn’t reuniting with him like he did Carter.

Rangers can also acquire Pearson.
Florida has the cap space as well but they're probably done their shopping.

 

[Hockey 4 Life]

I think all three Canucks have solid value. From the leafs id love to add Pearson but kerfoot or Holl would have to go the other way plus pick and or prospect.

What I said in the Garland thread:

Different management group made the OEL/Garland trade.

The Canucks need to recoup picks and prospects, because they have none. Garland is a very good even-strength player and is on a reasonable contract - which makes him one of their only trade chips of any substantial value.

 

[mriswith]

It's not about what was given up for Garland.

It's that he's better than his contract, signed long term, and brings a lot of what the team needs right now.

There's like 5 other guys that should be shown the door first if we're rebuilding. And there's also like 5 other guys that need to be shown the door first if we're trying to contend (lol) now.

So it just doesn't make sense to trade Garland unless it's a big overpay.
