Oregon Canucky Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Im super excited to Wait and see! im not waiting because im some cynical bastid who believes him destined to fail. im not waiting because I think that everyone on the team sould be a superstar for a hometown discount... Im not waiting because i dont trust Gillis... Along with that comes: Im not excited because i know this guys will be some diamond in the rough im not excited because hes destined to replace already proven d-men im not excited because i expect anything from him... Im Excited because this COULD be awesome, but im gonna wait cause it just might not work out... At least were trying. Failure is inevitable and bad deals will happen, if we were scared of the POSSIBILITY of a bad contract, we would never trade/sign anyone... ever...

Common sense Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I'd like to say yes, but I haven't seen him on the ice in Canuck colors yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
higgyfan Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I'm optimistic about Garrison. A solid shut down guy with offensive skills will look good along side Edler. He has good potential to help out with the powerplay as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrippledCanuck Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I say we just throw him under the bus as a failure,complain about how it was another bad signing by gmmg and get rid of him right away,This will save time by not having to wait for his first game with us and eventually his first mistake on the ice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry_Wilkins Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 i like garrison playing with edler on the 2nd pairing BUT im not all that thrilled with the 4.6m cap hit....which makes him tide with bieksa for highest paid defenseman if it was 4m cap hit then id be all in BUT i dont think garrison knows what kind animal he just took on.....he might be from here but that doesnt do much for you when you have a 4.6m cap hit attached to your name and you have 2 goals and we are 3 months in the season and the powerplay is in a 3 for 30 streak and you are the most scrutinized canuck in town....lets see if he regrets signing that deal it was foolish of him to not be like "lets make it a 4m for 6yr deal instead.....i dont wanna be tide for the highest paid defenseman on a new team in a city like this"....just taking a .600k pay cut would have done him a lot of good when this teams gets in a slump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ButterBean Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Top paid D man on the team with one good year of offensive NHL numbers to his name. One season. Problem is that when you play with a Brian Campbell your offensive numbers are exaggerated and even Edler is no Campbell. He has to be solid defensively for this to work out well and by what we are told he is able and more than willing. Big payday and long term.It is going to be interesting.

mpt Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 It was nice to see Garrison beside Manny at the pride parade. Already embracing the Vancouver spotlight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 So I did a bit of research and went back to NHL Gamecenter Live and watched a few games. He really didn't play all too too much with Campbell. But it wasn't his offensive side I was worried about, as he's known for his quick slap release from the point, it was his defensive side of things that I had no idea of. He plays real heavy, especially along the boards. He should be a good asset. Almost looks like a cheap man's version of Weber to be honest. Not bad at all.

.Naslund Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I haven't seen him play properly yet, but if his defensive play is pretty good and he chips in offensively on occasion, I'll be extremely happy with this contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
