oldnews Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 "Garrison’s strengths are his exceptional skating ability and passing touch.He has good on-ice awareness and transitional capability. Garrison is adept at contributing to offensive without sacrificing defensive responsibility. Lacks an element of consistent physical play but it’s an area he’s working to improve. Garrison appears very comfortable on the ice and is a free-wheeling defender whose strength is generating scoring chances. He has terrific hockey sense and is an ideal power-play quarterback." HF.

WHL rocks Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 4.5 mil is the highest I think Gillis would go. That's fair considering market value. I am still sketchy about Garrison, as his previous career numbers don't warrant such a mammoth raise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeanBeef Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 I wouldn't sign Garrison unless its under 4.2 mil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edlerberry Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Garrison will get $5 mill on open market, If MG can sign him for $4.5 consider it a discount. Garrison hasn't made much money in the past. This is his first chance to make real NHL money, I think he should go for the dough and set his family up before thinking about anything else.

RunningWild Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 IMO, it's Garrison or bust now. Canucks need another d-man who can eat big minutes and play against tough competition. Other than Suter, Garrison is the only other UFA d-man who fits that bill. Quality d-men don't come available very often, they already let Ehrhoff go and missed the boat on Shultz (who is still unproven). Time for Gillis to fill the hole he didn't fill last summer.

TotesMagotes Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 I'd actually rather have Garrison than Schultz. We know Garrison is the real deal and will make an impact right away, he's much bigger and like i said, we actually know he can play at the NHL level. Woulda' been nice to get both of them but oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keslerian one Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Just because Feaster got owned by Wideman's agent doesn't mean Canucks should pay that much money for Garrison. He fits real well with the Canucks, but he has to accept less money here than what the open market will throw at him. But having him secure the right side of Edler means that Canucks won't have that elite number one Dman for another few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2009cupchamps Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Give him 4.5 mil. Bieksa and Hamhius type money, since he will be playing top 4 no problem. Sign Salo one more year at 2 mil.

WHL rocks Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 lol. Once you're making $4million in a year, that extra $500k isn't going to affect your life style. Also, he isn't a $5million defense man. He just isn't. He has had one really good season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edlerberry Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 How do you know extra 500k doesn't affect your life style if you make $4 mill?? Have you ever been in a similar position? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Everybody Hates Raymond Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 I've watched him play on the Panthers... he's what we wanted Ballard to be. We need him. Better than Ehrhoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHL rocks Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Yes. Once you've picked your house and all the schooling's paid for and your vacations are dealt with and you have reasonable transportation, its all just noise. Someone with a $75k lien and no job sure could have their life completely transformed with $500k a year. But once you're making several million... sure you can buy more stuff or get the penthouse instead of the suite on vacations, but your family's still flying business class everywhere and your maid(s)/all your service people still do the same job. If you're making 20+/year, yeah it changes then because you'll be flying private jets and probably own a yacht, which changes the vacation game again. Still, there's only so much you can spend money on, and the returns on happiness definitely diminish significantly once you breach the "I don't have to stress about paying my bills/putting food on the table" stage.

riffraff Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 ^ Imagine an extra 500k to a house for someone else?!?!? Maybe even two? Nahhhhh let's just get a bigger nicer house. You must be young too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanucksinVic Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 I'm not holding my breath, Garrison would be great, but after today, not going to hold on to anything. Too much hype on things lately and no follow through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nowhereman Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Obviously you are very young. I will only comment on your first sentence."once you've picked your house" With extra 500k per year you could pick a much nicer house. I do not wish to engage in a debate over this so this will be my last response to you on this subject. Edit. Next time please quote my entire post if you wish to converse with me, on another topic of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NightHawkSniper Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Your nuts if you dont think he gets 5 plus. If Wideman gets over 5 then Garrison certainly does unless he goes somewhere for a discount. Easy 5mill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
