Blömqvist Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 4 years @ $3.5M per. He'll probably be leaving about $0.5M on the table, but he'll have to take a bit of a discount to play in Van. Mind you, the cap is only going to rise, so in a two years he'll be a steal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
22Sedinery33 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Wouldn't mind having him but then again it all depends if MG can move Ballard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 banking on one good season is risky business. I like Garrison but with the pricetag he may gather doesn't exactly thrill me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Nolan Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Alot of these multi year 3.5 plus deals are insane.. Put your "hes from BC " boners away... Not taking anything away from jason, he had a good year, but keith ballard , jay bowmester... You can see where im going with this.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trelane42 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 If MG signs this guy both Salo and Ballard have to go. Is apparently comfortable playing right side, but I've heard that before. No way would he come here to play bottom 2 minutes. It would, however, open up some interesting possibilities in a year's time when Edler's contract is up and Weber becomes a UFA. Team needs a big shot from the point in the worst way. Get Schultz too and go heavy on BC defense. More likely to spill their guts for the home team.

cmpunk Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Not even about his shot, this guy seems like a guy built for the playoffs. Seems like a big and tough guy that can play big playoff minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebreh Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Best case scenerio: - Salo rides off into the sunset happy. - Ballard gets packaged with Raymond for anything. That clears up 8m+ cap space, enough to even make a decent offer to Suter jk - Sign Garrison to a 4 year contract - Sign J.Schultz Hamhuis - Bieksa Edler - Garrison Schultz - Tanev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunder Bunnies Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I only give Garrison a 2-3 year deal max. I'd say 3-3.5M max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tangelos Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 While he has had a good year, I am not convinced he is the solution. It is the lack of goal scoring that has killed us in the post season and i think that needs to be addressed before anything else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RunningWild Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Comparing Garrison to Ballard is not a good reference. IMO Ballard was never worth $4.2M. Before coming to Van, his underlying numbers were extremely inconsistent from yr to yr - an indicator you never know what you're gonna get. He was never good with puck possession - he struggled mightily. Van is a puck possession team, guys who struggle with that skill stick out like a sore thumb (hence Ballard and Edlers issues this yr). Garrison only has 2 full seasons in the NHL, but his underlying numbers have improved significantly every yr (similar to Tanev). He's the best puck possession d-man on their team (on a team 18th in the league w/ puck possession). He drives play, and plays against toughest completion - he does not play sheltered mins (a la Ballard). His biggest asset is his versatility - the only current 'somewhat versatile' Canuck is Rome. Garrison can do it all: PP, PK, play a shut down role or offensive flair role. He can move up and down the lineup at any time. He's a very valuable asset. I don't think he's gonna score 16 goals again, but he's probably a 30+ pt d-man on a Vancouver team for sure. I'd rather see Gillis take a gamble on a versatile guy like Garrison than a one trick pony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
