What does everyone think? I’ve always liked Garland’s grit. Not sure what a trade would look like or where’d he play. Take EB’s spot more than likely.
He’s only 27 and could be a good fit. I don’t have a GMs mind so I can’t see a trade that would work.
What’s everyone else think.
Thanks to Puckempire for the IG post. Worth a follow for hockey news for sure.

I like him but I don’t think he’s top line material. He would be good on 2nd or 3rd. Move Bjorkstrand to top line imo. I also like Eb’s and don’t think he’s top line material either though.
We don’t need another winger. We are fucking stacked at winger and have so many good wingers that we have some in the minors that are solid 3rd/4th liners.
I watched a lot of Garland during my time as a Canucks fan and while he’s good in the offensive zone he struggles in the D-end, is prone to long stretches of being invisible, and takes inopportune penalties. He’s a good player, don’t get me wrong, I just don’t see what he *adds* to the team.
Pass. Don’t need a winger or another undersized forward. There is a place for him in the nhl but it’s not in Seattle.
Yuck I can’t stand Conor Garland. Mostly because he always seems to score against us. He’d be a good addition but I doubt the Canucks would want to trade him in the division and I doubt the Kraken would want to give up any significant prospect or draft capitol
We need high end offensive pop or big boi lockdown D. Not more little man scrappiness.
Conor by himself does not improve any of our wingers on the top 3 lines, so if he had to give anything up to get him it would be a pass from me. But with trades, salary cap and a teams situation have to be taken into account. If Vancouver wanted to trade him to us and throw in some draft picks or retain salary it might be worth a listen. Though I am pretty sure Canucks aren’t going to pay to move him.
We have enough of this profile, I’d prefer we pay up somehow for stronger D or a more electric shooter.
Where would he even slot in we got wingers upon wingers.
Hes just expensive yammomoto
