That is the literal opposite of a hinderance. Sure that's true ... we just have a difference of opinion. I mean a hinderance to having $5 mil available in cap space. I'm honestly not trying to be an ahole. It's just my honest assessment right or wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just have completely different views on how to build a team, and that's fine. It has nothing to do with his production, he could have 5 points and I wouldn't care. It's all about the Benjamin's imo. We need cap space to get better and he's the most logical casualty imo. Simply about numbers. Every player in the NHL is very good at hockey and I would keep all of them $$ permitting. Edited August 21, 2023 by Gawdzukes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can get something for Garland then you would be wise to do so. If it takes any kind of "sweetener" then no thanks. Hang on to him. @canuck73_3 is right in that Garland is a solid player who has value on the ice. If there's some trade value (and I don't think that there is) then move him. If not then play him. He's quite useful imo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's quite useful imo. Yeah I can agree with that. I definitely wouldn't pay to move him I don't think. It's fairly obvious I believe that we are cap strapped like most of the league. He's just the first name that pops out at me when I look at unwanted contracts with sizable dollars which could translate into parts we need. There isn't a forward I wouldn't move besides Petey and Miller. He just makes the most sense. @canuck73_3 isn't wrong though I'm not a fan of his endless spinning in the corners, as intricate as it might be. I think he's one of those rare players whose skill outweighs his usefulness. Like all small players you need to excel at certain aspects to make an impact and I just honestly don't think he does that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoastNucks Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 4 hours ago, Gawdzukes said: Nope, I just don't think he benefits our team much at $5 mil a season. He never seems to find a permanent line to play on imho. Correct me if I'am wrong there. I don't dislike him I just think he's a major obstacle to the Canucks purchasing better players to fit our team. There is only so much cap to go around. 3 hours ago, Gawdzukes said: Yeah I can agree with that. I definitely wouldn't pay to move him I don't think.

Garlund is like the mouse in my house that gets the cheeze and doesnt get caught. He can play on any line because he gets the puck. They should stick him with Boeser full time because Garlund draws 2 guys and Boeser is open. Garlund just needs to start looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that's true, Garland is so busy doing spinaramas his teammates have a hard time reading and getting open for passes. When they do his back is usually turned against the wall.

Hopefully he proves me wrong and gets 70 points on Miller's line if he remains with the team. I'm expecting more parlor tricks from him though and bouncing around the line-up. Would so much prefer we had Guenther playing for us instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crimson-JH Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/new-canucks-scoreboard-rogers-arena The new Canucks scoreboard has been installed at Rogers Arena Rob Williams Stephanie Woo/Daily Hive | Rosario Ardita Fans attending a Sam Smith concert in Vancouver on Tuesday night got a sneak peek at a new addition to Rogers Arena. The Vancouver Canucks’ brand new scoreboard has been installed, though it wasn’t in operation during the concert. It did hang from high above the arena floor though. Here’s what it looks like: The new scoreboard (Darcy Matheson/Daily Hive) The view from below (Rosario Ardita) The scoreboard is raised higher for concerts (Stephanie Woo/Daily Hive) Fans attending an arena tour in June noticed that the Canucks’ scoreboard was missing. The previous scoreboard at Rogers Arena had four main LED screens that were 14 x 24 feet long, with a resolution exceeding 300,000 pixels per screen. By comparison, video screens on the Oilers’ scoreboard at Rogers Place in Edmonton, which opened in 2016, are 38 x 22 feet in size. The Canucks have previously declined to comment on renovations to their arena, which appear to have been extensive since last season ended and include the installation of brand new seats and an apparent high-end restaurant. The new scoreboard is presumably bigger and better than the old one, though we won’t get to see it in action for a hockey game until September 30 when the Canucks host their first preseason game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanuckRookieFan Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 For the new 60 seat ViP club, the meal and the game are included with each purchase? So it's like club 500? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Lol Aquilini is determined to cram a restaurant into every corner of that arena he can… Looks like nice upgrades though. Does this mean our scoreboard is bigger than the Oilers now. Was hoping they would announce a new practice facility as part of phase 3 but I guess that’s gonna take longer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimito Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 1 hour ago, -Vintage Canuck- said: 'Fans can look forward to a new video board that is almost four times larger (1300 SF per side vs 350 SF) than the previous screen. A high refresh rate of 3840Hz (3,840 times per second) and stronger contrast ratio will also result in a clearer image and more vibrant colours. Lastly, the video board is engineered with a modern seamless curve, allowing viewing angles from all areas in the arena. Along with the video board, a new video 'ring beam' will extend around the entire bowl, delivering high quality game information, messages, and animations. There will also be 64 new digital screens installed above every bowl entrance. Programmed and integrated together, each of these new features will greatly improve the fan experience and game entertainment elements at Rogers Arena." Sounds good. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elias Pettersson Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Vancouver Canucks announce Phase II of in-arena improvements for Rogers Arena (msn.com) Another tidbit was that the replacement of all seats in the upper and lower bowls will take place during the summer of 2024. It’s finally time for the burgundy seats to be kicked to the curb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this mean our scoreboard is bigger than the Oilers now. Was hoping they would announce a new practice facility as part of phase 3 but I guess that’s gonna take longer. Even if I can't afford them, and even if it makes Aquaman money, I count restaurants and things like that as "amenities" and the more of those I can get, even if I don't use them, the better. In fact, the new seats are a little wider. I guess they are going to sacrifice a few singles (there is one next to me for example) to fit them in. I sat in one during the ticket event and the new black ones are MUCH better. If they want to colour code it or whatever, then fine. I didn't think they were get it all done next summer (I thought it was going to take two more summers after this) but I was happy with the idea of EVENTUALLY getting a nicer, more comfortable seat either way. The old scoreboard was beginning to break (it glitched and had dead spots) anyways. But yes, kudos to these things, much more Rockey Wirtz than Bill Wirtz.
