The Toffoli trade seems like an arbitrary comparison. First and foremost Montreal was in "selling" mode on him and the Canucks are in a completely different place. The Canucks do not intend to move any of their players unless the return meets their needs. They are listening to "buyers" and if you aren't in that group, keep walking. All that being said, Garland meets a need (position, contract and style of play) for Ottawa and they have the pieces that will entice Vancouver (young RD). There is a trade to be made, but only if it makes sense for both teams. JBD? or Thomson? and a couple of picks (2nds?) probably gets it done.
