<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Garak</b></div><div>Where did you hear this? Can you provide a reference or any context as to why you said this stuff about Garland? You are the only person I have ever heard say that about him, but if true, it is concerning and is worth inquiring.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PHEN</b></div><div>I listen to so many podcasts daily I am going back to try and find it. I wanted Garland too for the Sabres and after hearing this I was sketchy too. Adams wants team players that want to be here. I believe I heard it from Jeremy Roenick on something. He is close to Arizona people and players and he was the one that said Garland is a me player very selfish and all about himself.</div></div>

I really like Jeremy Roenick, he was one of my favourite Blackhawks players in the 90s but I find this funny as he was a very "ME" guy. . Which was one of things I also liked about him, great player with an attitude. I think Garland may have referenced JR once in modelling his game to JRs. I haven't heard this about Garland from anyone, his teammates have said the opposite. Since JR is connected to the coyotes from his playing days he may have said that as Garland did have a poor relationship with management near the end due to contract negotiation. Garland felt he was being low balled by the coyotes. Again funny since JF threatened his teams with not playing if he didn't get his price.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hawksguy81</b></div><div>Hawks decline. #19 and #44 might get moved for #13. No chance Hawks trade a '24 2nd for Olafsson. They'll have better options in free agency without giving up that pick.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hawksguy81</b></div><div>And Tampa definitely declines. Cernak is a key guy on their blue line just starting a new deal.</div></div>

Sure CHI could possibly get a better player during FA but how much money and for how long? Olafson isn't a bad player he'd put up over 40 points for CHI and since its his last year at the Tdl with a bit of retention he could be moved for a better return than that '24 Canucks 2nd round pick. Why not gain more assets and sign a UFA. This yrs UFA class isn't anything special.

Tampa won't move Cernak but I'm hoping Colton Ross and Tanner Jeannot ask for the moon. Who knows maybe there is a player at their original 19oa pick they like and feel could step in right away and wouldn't mind moving Cernak for said package.

Thread: VAN - CHI
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RicXX</b></div><div>VAN is in no position to make demands, they have to pay to comply with the Cap. They did it to themselves, and it's a sucky situation, especially for the fans. Boeser is the compensation for taking Myers, you are getting Blackwell, 19OA and a 3rd for 11th OA.</div></div>

Vancouver will be cap compliant they don't need to move Boeser or Myers. Myers could be moved for a lot less once his bonus is paid and is only owed a mil for the year on 6 mil cap hit. Teams that need to get to the floor and don't want to spend actual money will get him for future considerations. Boeser is a good player and is NOT a throw in. Chicago is desperate to get another top 12 pick in this year's draft and no one wants to move down from a top 12 pick to 19 this year. The difference player quality from 11 to 19 is massive this year. Chicago is in no position to demand a top 12 pick and a player on a 1 yr contact to help them reach the cap floor. They will have to over pay players to get to the cap floor maybe even have to over players on a several year contract which could hamper them down the road.
