sulihpoeht Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Remember the last time we got hyped over a defenseman from Florida with a cap hit of 4m+ ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mustapha Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 This is a solid free agent deal, despite the term. Garrison is a solid D-man who can help out the PP. He actually has been playing well for two seasons, his offensive production was just that much better last season. If he can get 25+ points and keep the back end nice and tidy playing top 4 minutes, he's worth the money. Sure he might not live up to his contract, but then again he could also continue improving and become a bargain stud defenseman. I don't think it's fair when people compare J-Bo to Garrison in terms of FA money. J-Bo's cap hit would be like a $8 million contract in today's cap ceiling, with no playoff experience. At least Garrison has put up points in the playoffs for Florida and at $4.6 per year, he's the best value for a defenseman after July 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mookie Wilson Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 We now have 5 LH defensemen and 2 RH defensemen. Obviously, that means we will be trading Edler and acquiring Weber. Why trade Edler and not Ballard? Because we could get A LOT in return for Edler, and we likely wouldn't be able to afford both Weber and Edler beyond this season. And plus, we might have to give up Edler in the Weber trade anyhow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Brahma Bull Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 The market being the way it is now, Luongo's cap hit is below market value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NucksBruins Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Why do people keep saying he had one good season? He was solid defensively the season before and was ranked 2nd behind Hamhuis as a top defensive d-man in this article http://www.theglobea.../article576301/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

believe in blue forever Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Vancouver Canucks @VanCanucks Jason was "high priority" on our list. The signing had "nothing to do with Justin Schultz" - Mike Gillis Vancouver Canucks @VanCanucks We're trying to build a team to take us to the Stanley Cup. Jason wanted to play on a Team that would go there. - Mike Gillis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Let's put it this way - he has earned the extra 850k that he will make over Schultz next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noots Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I'm happy with this signing. A local guy who wanted to play for his home team. Don't think Gillis is done yet though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnInconvenienceBrah Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 it's risky sure but he's proven to be a great shut down top 4 D man, he may not hit the point total again and that's fine we could use a more of a shut down guy on this D core. What's really interesting to me is Edler situation... see we need to re-sign him BUT Weber should be a UFA and is everything we need, Gillis won't sign a player then trade him so I'm betting Gillis is after Weber this offseason, Preds can't sign him they may be willing to trade him and Edler can help ease the loss for them as he's a young top 15/10 D man who can put up 50 points maybe add in Schroeder and it may make sense for both teams. Or if they're really hurting for D man we can send them Ballard and Edler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G.K. Chesterton Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Would have preferred Carle, but I appreciate Garrison taking a hometown discount. Welcome back, Garrison! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Primal Optimist Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 3.05 million now being one twentythird of the salary cap: 70.2 million divided by the 23 roster players...this deal is All Kinds OF Awesome. And frankly, as someone pointed out earlier, so is Luongo's. When you get players that are superior and well above average for not much above average salary cap hit per year, your winning. #winning.

LeanBeef Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Now all we need is a depth forward, 2nd line winger, and 3rd line centre. I say we sign Bitz and Mueller and go for Chimera during a trade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
