Thread: The 2024 Stanley Cup Champions
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RobbieM86</b></div><div>Ok so let me break this down -
Garland has requested the trade - his value was just cut in half
So far this preseason and three games, Mathue Joseph has proven to be competitive and, when given the time on ice, can play - no longer will the Sens pay to get rid of him
Brannstrom is a top 4 two way more offensive-minded player who can play both sides and something Canucks need
JBD is a big stay-at-home man who is a highly desired player who has no room in our current lineup but would benefit Canucks when they want to be competitive in a year or two - for cheap

Yes, Canucks will take on Garland's salary for three Canucks Roster players who can fill some serious holes. (Garland is the same player quality as Joseph at half the price.</div></div>

Joseph PPG by season: 0.32, 0.43, 0.34, 0.19, 0.37
Joseph career PPG: 0.35

Garland PPG by season: 0.57, 0.68, 0.80, 0.57, 0.38
Garland career PPG: 0.60

Garland is also very good defensively. He’s a much better player than Joseph

I like Brannstrom, but he’s a borderline top 4 dman. A solid #4/5 dman. The Canucks don’t seem to want to play any LHDs on the right side though, so not sure he’d be a fit

If JBD was as desirable of a player as you said then he would have been claimed on waivers. He clearly doesn’t have much value (again I do like him though)

The main thing is the Canucks want to move Garland to clear cap. They aren’t retaining 50% on the clear best player in the trade, taking back a 3M cap dump 4th liner, as well as another 2M dman AND giving up a 2nd round pick

The 2nd is probably equal to the value of Brannstrom + JBD, which leaves a 50% retained Garland for Joseph. Considering it’s been rumoured Ottawa would have to add a 1st to dump Joseph, you’d have to add at least one 1st, and probably another 1st to acquire Garland with that much retention
