  1. One thing I want to say is I can't believe how Garland gets viewed by management/media. They have been saying that no one wants Connor Garland and that it's a bad contract. That management has been trying to move him since they got here. I reuse to believe any of this "bad contract/can't move player" talk. Garland had the second best 5on5 PT totals on the team after Miller last season. Something like 47 of his 52PTS came at 5on5. He basically no power play time as we don't have a second unit. Guy is feisty and has speed for days. I refuse to believe the narrative that is being put out there. Like most, they say its about 1mill per 10 pts. His contract is 4.9 and had 52PT with NO PP time. Hell if he was on the first unit power play you could have easily added 20 PTS to his 52. 72PTS for a player on a 4.9 million dollar contract is great value. I have said for some time that Garland has been misused here in Vancouver. I love Bruce but he made a comment last season about Garland being a 3rd liner and that didn't sit right with me. Vancouver needs to put guys in positions to succeed. Garland has played most of the season with Dries and Boeser lol and is still at .5PTS per game. Garland is the last guy we could be looking to trade. Just put him with some proper linemates. I think Tocchet was the coach in ARI when Garland was there. I'm hoping once Bruce goes (I don't want him to go, I love Bruce but writing is on wall) that Toc will put Garland in a place to succeed. I'd like to see Mik-Petey-Boeser Garland-Miller-Kuz Bo will be traded thats why he's not in the lineup
  2. This is 100% the right view. No issue with moving on from Bo if he doesn't want to accept their fair offer
  3. Well With Horvat and Kuzmenko traded Canucks should get two 1st right there. Maybe Boeser snags you a late 1st if we take back a bad contract thats expiring or 1 year left. If Canucks had 4 first round picks in this deep draft, they have the ability to change their roster going forward and do most of the heavy lifting. Sure next year would suck but we would have the building blocks in place. Not to mention CAP SPACE.. Pearson and Myers contracts up next season which frees up another 10 mill. After that we just have OEL.
  4. I think I gotta buy tickets to the next home game and remind management of the plan... "WE WANT CONNOR"
  5. But apparently Garland has no trade value... Bullshit. Bruce has been using him all season on the 3rd line with plugs if he plays with guys that can actually play he's good
  6. From what I remember, and I could be wrong, he never played with Petey. It was only on the PP when they were together. Millers main linemates were Pearson and Boeser
  7. Exactly, this is why we can't fall in love with the player for 1 career year. When his shooting percentage goes back to reality he is a 25-30 goal guy with maybe 25 assist. About a 50-55 PT guy. I'm sorry but you can't pay 8-8.5 million for 50-60pts. Everyone was offended by their offer of the Nugent-Hopkins comparison but that was spot on. He wasn't really a difference maker, he's a complimentary piece. He has to understand that he's not "the guy" here and can't command what he's asking if he wants to be here. Petey,Hughes,Demko,Miller are all ahead of Bo. I say trade him and we will be thankful later on. On a new team with not as much PP opportunity he will be lucky to hit 55-60PTS. He isn't a 5on5 driver. Trade Bo!
  8. Or we can trade him while his value is sky high and finally get some good pieces to make this team good going forward. We haven't been good enough with Bo for 7 years. Like the player but look what happened as soon as Miller got his bag? Horvat will eventually come off of this heater and when he does a 8x8 contract for a 25 goal scorer, who is an average PK'er and not much of a playmaker will look like another boat anchor contract this franchise cant afford to sign.
  9. Role over and die attitude with our captain. Pls trade him and get the country club mindset out of here. Boeser on waivers?
  10. where's @Elias Pettersson we need you we are nothing without you we don't deserve you
  11. I wouldn't even go if tickets were free. That's where am at, anybody else?
  12. Just wanted to see Burr beat the shit out of Walker. Refs just really want us to suffer
