[Proposal] Trade Proposal Connor Garland to Washington for Anthony Mantha

[Rocket-68]

First Question:  would JR / PA have to be drunk to consider this?

 

Second question: What would have the Canucks have to add to make the following happen:

 

Washington retains $2M and sends Mantha to the land of the Orca

 

Canucks send Garland to challenge Ovechkin for the Caps scoring title plus ??

 

It is a slow day so rather than day drinking, posting this ... not that far off.

 

Mantha does have size and skill but certainly tailed off a bit on the skill part the last few years. Perhaps a change of scenery and if not, then a 1 year commitment could either be cut loose or offered at TDL depending on where the Canucks are.

 

Question 3: if the "sweetenener" was a 5th round pick, would you do it?

 

Asbestos underwear on, flame away.

Did Mantha play for the Penguins under Rutherford?  No?  Then the Canucks management is not interested.

No, but his father Moe played with Pittsburgh and Mario Lemieux, so that should be good enough...

If Mantha could put it all together, I'm game for this. That type of size on the forward corps would be awesome.

Except, Moe is not his father.

[PeteyBOI]

yes please.... 3.7 million seems fair for his potential play... who knows maybe its just what the doctor ordered on our PP

and in real news, puck drop at 7

[Phil_314]

Would they do it and take on two years of an underperforming contract?

[Jeremy Hronek]

Seems like a pointless move to me.  

 

Trading an underachieving winger for another one.

 

Look at Columbus' Andrew Peeke if you're entertaining thoughts on moving Garland.  (Would probably take Garland++)

[Reznor]

It isn't so much that Garland is useless out there by any stretch. But there are nearly five million reasons why a GM wouldn't want to trade for him - making moving him difficult. Obviously, management doesn't want to give anything up to do so, and I can't blame them.

Add in the light drama over the past year and a little extra drama starting a couple of days ago, it's a pretty challenging situation all around. I think this is actually a pretty good trade - assuming there is retention to even it out. Supposedly, Mantha has really worked hard in the offseason, and if he could return to form, he could be a real factor. And if not, if nothing else, he's one big feller, which our team could certainly use.

...and he just scored as I submitted this post.

Hell No!

Did you see that goal!

Haha

Mantha was just a healthy scratch so no thanks, unless they retain 2M on him or something silly.
