If you want Garland for that price, you'll lose a lot more than what you're willing to give up in that trade. There's no way the Islanders can sign Garland along with their own RFAs Beau, Sorokin, Pelech and Dal Colle. So one or two of them will have to go. They've likely already lost Cizikas to free agency unless he's willing to take a huge pay cut.
My guess is he was there to look at one of three players. Marleau, who he's already picked up and over payed before, Brassard who he's already familiar with or quite possibly Sorenson. Of course I'm only guessing and have no clue, but I can't see Garland on his radar.
