setting aside you just traded a 40 goal scorer to a team OTT is in direct competition for a playoff spot with for barely anything, Garland is a easy pass.

Garland is a 3rd line player that is overhyped

He has 46pts and barely plays on the PP. We need more middle 6 guys

Solid offer sheet on Colton albeit a bit of an overpayment imo, regardless it would be rough for TB to match that with our current cap situation and puts pressure on us to decide between matching or keeping Killorn and getting that second.

One question, who's the backup though?

Detroit accepts, as long as an extension is in place first. We'd probably be willing to add a 3rd or B level prospect as well.

Thomson doesn’t move the needle. Add a 2nd.

Rumours are garland is barely worth anything

I think this is a pretty fair deal for both sides. I'd love it if the Canucks found a way to shed salary another way because I like Garland and think his contract is decent value, but they have a ton of wingers. Getting a decent RHD prospect and cap space is likely the right offer for him.

You guys need cap so bad it really doesn't matter its the 4.9 mill in space that's the biggest incentive no matter the pay out and Garland is pegged as a low end middle 6 forward weather thats his ceiling or not
