<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caniac2000</b></div><div>He's a middle six center, and he's the 2nd line center right now on one of the cup favorites. He's had a down year, but he's still only 23 and normally incredible in all three zones. While his defensive metrics have regressed, his offensive ones have jumped leaps and bounds forwards. He's the better player, and he's worth his contract. Vancouver is adding significantly. End of conversation.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sens65</b></div><div>Question for Canucks fans:

Would you trade Brock Boeser?

No? Then why the hell would Ottawa trade Giroux?</div></div>

The Canucks are the best team in the league, Boeser is in his prime, the team leader in goals, and signed until 2026. A change in both GM and Coach has changed the direction the team is trending, it's likely the Canucks continue to be a playoff team next season. It doesn't make sense for VAN to move their star winger.

Ottawa is at the bottom of the league, and Giroux is 36 and signed until 2025. A change in both GM and Coach hasn't changed the direction the team is trending. The Senators are highly likely to be in the basement again next year. It makes sense that the Senators would move their veterans to improve in other areas.

Thread: MSL is pushing for Garland and trying to convice Hughes to make it happen
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>future_gm</b></div><div>Your guy isn’t better than Armia. Garland has 3yrs left at 5M. Armia has 2yrs left at 3.4M. If we didn’t have too many NHL caliber forwards Armia would have probably matched Garland in term of points so basically 3. The reality of it is that Garland value has hit rock bottom. Your reasoning doesn’t make sens, you’re telling me a team will take on his 4.9M cap with 3 yrs left without sending a dump back to help y’all make space for a RD? Garland is in the same category of Mantha and Armia. He isn’t better.</div></div>

Garland is a far better player than Armia it isn’t even close lol

Armia hasn’t put up more than 14 points since 2019/20

Garland in the last 4 seasons
46 points in 81 games, 52 points in 77 games, 39 points in 49 games, 39 points in 68 games

Garland has also had elite 5v5 metrics, and is good defensively as well. He’s a 2nd liner making 2nd line money. Maybe 500K overpaid at most. Armia is an AHL level player making 3.4M

Garland has considerably more value than Armia. There are other teams that have interest in Garland, the same can't be said for Armia.
