If Canucks are retaining on Garland they're not dumping him for nothing

Big no to SR. Has an attitude problem. Brother needs to focus more on making the NHL, not debating whether he should have gone 1OA

Well good luck then lol

Some team might take Murray for free half retained but it won't be the Hawks.

Last I checked it cost a 2nd rounder to dump $3.5M for Bailey. I don't understand why people think dumping ironically ~$3.5M of Murray would be any different. IF TOR retained $2M...it'll still cost a 2nd

Edit...technically Bailey was bought out so less than $3.5M

You’re acting like the Canucks gifting you a good player with retention is somehow helping the canucks

You gain 4.5 million dollars in cap space on a guy you're eventually probably going to buy out. Frankly, Leafs aren't taking him for free at 4.5

Canucks are not buying out Garland lol. Why would they? They already bought out OEL. Canucks will gladly keep Garland. Don't pretend like you're doing the Canucks any favours. When TERRIBLE players like Klinngberg are being paid 4 mil in free agency, it is best the Canucks keep their current players than go and overpay for worse ones

Well then they're stuck with him unless they attach assets lol. He was offered for free, no takers.

Maybe Garland isn't as good as you think he js

That was before the OEL buyout You seem slower than internet explorer. Keep up buddy!

Loool the OEL buyout doesn't change his value in the slightest

Seattle near instantly says no

Do you not understand anything? Canucks don’t need to trade Garland because they bought out OEL. Keep up buddy!

Okay ? Doesn't make him a positive asset
