You have to give to get

NSH is doing too much giving here.

I have a feeling Canucks fans will feel VAN is giving to much here.

Personally I think it's pretty close value wise, because of the small retention maybe a late pick going NASH's way.

I doubt that Sissons is going anywhere

For NSH they're giving up the two most valuable pieces to them, taking on cap, and losing their final retention spot.

Garland is a redundancy for NSH. They have young wingers like Tomasino, Evangelista, Kemell, L'Heuruex, Lind, Schaeffer, etc. Lots of guys who look like they could at least break 20 goals one time too, and none of them cost nearly $5M.

Similarly, NSH has multiple young centers with equal or greater upside than Räty (Novak, Glass, Pärssinen, Svechkov, Nilsson, Burke).

I'm not sure what VAN fans expect for a $5M middle six winger who doesn't want to be there. But for NSH to take on two players I can't see them having any interest in, giving up anything of value is an overpay.
