Off-season off stasis

The only conceivable reason for acquiring Myers would be to shed cap in the future. Acquiring Garland completely negates that.

If we got Roslovic he should be the 3C with Hoglander and Podkolzin/Beauvillier on the wings

I personally like Blueger a bit more as a natural center right now, Roslovic for me has something to prove if he wants to push Blueger over or down. Beauvillier will be on the top line with Petey and Kuzy, and Di Giussepe did surprisingly well as a 3rd line 3rd cog, so long as he wasn't asked to be anything beyond that

Who is to say Columbus isn't interested in certain lateral moves while they're at it?

Their current RFA situation and obvious need to improve their top 6C situation says so.

Spending more money on a bottom 6 wing option like Garland does nothing to improve the teams future and only creates roadblocks for players that could benefit from a 3rd line role over the next 3 years like Texier, Chinakhov, Voronkov, LDBB, Brindley, or Dumais. It also takes away cap space that they could be spending on their top 6C situation as I said.
