MeanSeanBean Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Just now, stawns said: I don't watch them much, but I've followed zacha a bit since he was drafted. To be clear, no way would I trade either of Garland or Boes straight up for Zacha, NJ would have to sweeten it significantly. I do know the Canucks need a 2/3 C and Zacha fits that role right now and if he can take the next step, he might take off. I'm not saying Zacha is the player I would target, but if this is where management is looking I don't think it's a terrible fit. Again, there'd have to be a significant prospect or pick coming back to the Nucks, especially if it's Garland I'd be willing to take a flyer on him. But I would want the cost to be low, or him as the sweetener in a bigger trade. I get serious Jake vibes from their fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucker 67 Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 VAN isn't going to just let Garland go for peanuts, but NJ might not be willing to give up Ty Smith Zacha, Mukhamadullin, and 1st (lotto protected?) a player, promising prospect and a high pick sounds pretty good to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanucks25 Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 (edited) Some of the posts in this thread are nuts. If we're not getting a significant piece with Zacha for Boeser or Garland we say no (and prospects like Smith or Bahl do not move the needle). Let's not turn this into another Gudbranson situation where we overpay for draft potential and size. Zacha is in the Pearson category of decent player but frustrates you more often than he pleases you and you wouldn't really miss him if he was gone. A player like this we should get on the cheap or walk away from the negotiating table. Edited February 13, 2022 by kanucks25 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather do Boeser for Zacha +2nd for Boeser over similar deal for Garland I'd prefer and almost ready prospect than a pick, unless it's a first. I'm just not sure they have anything the Canucks need. I'd say Holtz is, obviously, untouchable. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bad alice french Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 39 minutes ago, WHL rocks said: Question Who do you guys value more. Boeser or Garland. Boeser includes his 7.5 mill QO. Garland includes his 5mill 5 year contract. Garland right now. Brock is just so streaky but when he turns it on he’s first line level. 7.5 m QO also definitely affects my bias. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toyotasfan Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Sometimes I see a Canucks game and think Garland is awesome, most the time I see him grimacing in pain on the bench after getting crushed. As Travis Green used to say “He’s great as long as he keeps his feet moving” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same big body, same skating, same potential same unwillingness to use that size. Hanzals claim to fame was essentially taking out the twins in one game. But otherwise effective 3rd line C to an extent for a few years in his career not much more I member!
