This almost never ends well...when the GM can't find a trade partner and leaves it up to the player and his agent.

No surprise here. You gotta think if anyone wanted to trade for him we would have seen one go down by now? Time to move on from the OEL trade and everything to do with it.

[Jess]

Doubt we'll get too much for him given his cap. Would miss him, but we do have a glut of wingers, so a decent draft pick would be nice. I'd say a defenseman, but I can't see him getting us much more than a 5/6 guy and we have tons of those already, so I'd rather just take a 3rd rounder or whatever we'd get.

That’s good news. A trade for another defenseman would be ideal right now. Get as strong as we can for the upcoming season.

I'm thinking PA has exhausted all avenues and is basically putting it on the player to say go find yourself a new home and we'll make it happen. So while I would love a right shot Dman I'm not holding my breath either.

Rock-bottom value.

[KingRaj91]

If he's seeking a trade, we probably won't end up getting a good return. Hope we can work something out with CBJ.

[Coconuts]

Shades of Brock Boeser's agent being given permission to seek a trade, and probably the same result

Because it's the agents fault there's no interest 

[Rick_theRyper]

We will have to retain or add to move him or take back a trash item that makes 500k less... ugh

[Billabong]

 

[Alflives]

Negative value. Doubtful a team would pick him up off waivers. 

[CRAZY_4_NAZZY]

Just now - Friedman on Donnie and Dhali:

 

Garland and Canucks mutually agreed allowing him to find a better fit for him and team. Has a new agent.

• agent is currently working aggressively to find a new home for Garland
• Dhali commented saying "its been a while the team wanting to move Garland, what changes now?". Friedman responded that he doesn't know whether the Canucks have changed their stance on the return for Garland. 
• Says Soucy's injury really changed the cap outlook for the team. Team tight to the cap, and really want some flexibility.

We need to add a new emoji to the list of responses.  I'm thinking the praying hands emoji would work well. LOL

Who was the other player this also happened to on the Canucks? Brock wasn't it? And his agent still couldn't find anyone lol. 

 

I doubt Garland's agent can find someone. But this is weird, when the news becomes public but he's still part of the team. 

 

[PhillipBlunt]

Garlandgate hath begun. 

[Breadnbutta]

Thank you Jim Benning

If it means getting an RHD back you add and run away from this deal, but a one for one isn't gonna look pretty!

And I think that's a blessing.

 

I like Boeser.

Who’s to say that Garland is even the centrepiece in the trade.

Me too. I'm glad that he's still here. His next contract, however, I don't think will be what he's making now. It'll be lesser than what he's making currently. Unless he finally breaks through and hits 30 goals.

Management might have to take a loss on this one (a potential Garland deal). But if they can get some cap relief that might be worth the deal on its own.
