Pasific Coluseum Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 This is the Canucks we are talking about, Calgary has a low chance of making it to the SCF, so they overpay for players. For teams that have a good chance players must take a pay-cut or take their talents to a team like Calgary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mau5trap Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 The Oilers are probably gonna snag him too. Are they gonna get Gretzky & Coffey to talk to Garrison as well ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Architect Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Hamhuis-Bieksa Garrison-Edler Tanev-Ballard Salo is a solid defensive core, but it still doenst have that OOMF to it. I would be comfortable with this D-Core only if we get a legit stud for our top 6 forward group. I really wanted Schultz because we could have developed him into a star... youth is really whats missing from this team. Hopefully Jensen, Schroeder, Kassian make impacts this year, and then Gaunce a few years down the line (he's not ready yet) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pink Sock Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I'm willing to bet everything I own that Schroeder will not make an impact this year. Probably not next year either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillyFox Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Not really sold on Garrison could get over paid by a lot on this thin UFA market. Not sure if he is the real deal or not if we do go after him and get him hopefully not for 5 M if thats what it cost I'd go after matt carle.

WillyFox Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I think gillis should throw a serious offer at suter we have the cap space and then some when luongo is dealt, we are a western team and suter knows we are a top contending team for the cup.

HiFiclub Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Sundin was another blockbuster July 1st offer. Demitra too. Gillis has balls when it comes to big deals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeBossy Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Think Gillis takes a shot at Cam Barker? - former 1st rounder - decent size - would defintely need to be a reclamation project. Bit of an upgrade on Rome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buttock Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 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.

oldnews Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I think Garrison is, in a lot of ways, the best blueline option available in the UFA market - if he doesn't expect to make as much as Hamhuis, I'll be very happy to see him in a Canucks jersey. If a comparable is Matt Carle, Garrison has more than twice as many hits as Carle, is bigger, and put up his numbers on the extremely low scoring Panthers. Yes he played with Campbell, but Carle's points were primarily assists, and he played with the Flyers forward units, which is made up of the equivalent of about 10 top 6 guys... I think he'd be a great signing at what Schultz just got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tangerines Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Truth is some players will take a pay cut and some wont. This doesn't necessarily mean Garrison is going to take a home count discount just because Dan Hamuis did. In the end money talks and if Garrison is offered 5million+ he's not going to sign for 4.0 million even if the Canucks are contenders. Shultz is a BC boy who grew up a Canucks fan yet snubbed them to go to Edmonton because it was a better career decision. Sakic could have signed with the Canucks when he was a free agent and hell he's from Burnaby with a street named after him. Kariya is from N.Vancouver and had a shot to sign with Vancouver and chose another team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WolfxHaley Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 The Province, Jason Garrison quote: "You don't want to go somewhere just for financial purposes. You want the fit, play the minutes and play a role that you know you can play and obviously have a chance of winning. I'll take everything into consideration for sure."

Canouver 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...
