Ross Johnston can’t do anything other than fight. He’s a poor man’s Ryan Reaves

I knew it, there's no way Cowan was staying on the roster, I don't think Minten stays either (or at least stays for more than 9 games)

There is word this afternoon that Vancouver has granted Conor Garland permission to talk to other teams about a potential trade. Tight cap situation, see if there's a better fit around the NHL. - Elliott Friedman

7 Teams can afford his full cap

Tampa Bay (Won't be able to once Vasi comes back)
Montreal
Arizona
Nashville
Anaheim
Buffalo
Chicago

I'd love to see Chicago get him for 0 value and play him with Hall and Bedard

Nashville could be a great fit. They have 1 RHD too many (Fabbro or Carrier); which is tops on the Canucks needs, and room in their forward core for Garland

I didn't turn the game on until the start of the 3rd, then got like 78 goals in nine minutes. And one that was waved off. Fun.

More could with some sort of cap coming back.

But yeah, he'd be a perfect linemate for Bedard. OMG that would be so annoying.

Takeaways from yesterday:

Even without Vasi, the lightning are still perfectly fine
I told y’all Andrew Brunette is a fraud
Vegas is still a juggernaut
Even with the off-season additions, the penguins are still owned by the Blackhawks

Gonna say Garland is gonna end up either in Carolina or Columbus

There's a deal that can be done both sides.
