Thread: CHI moving up
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GreatWhiteNorth</b></div><div>Have you been living under a rock? Vancouver has been trying to move Garland for almost a year - to the point where they can’t give him away. If he’s not negative value he’s close at this point. Unless there’s some serious retention on his contract, it’s going to take something significant as a sweetener to move him.

Not saying this is the right deal, but the whole league knows he’s available and no one’s biting on it. There’s no positive value to him right now.</div></div>

then they should just keep him and hope he rebounds. it’ll cost less to dump him regardless in the future with fewer years on his deal. the canucks cannot be trading away high picks right now and it’s very possible he has a better year and rebuilds his value next season

Thread: i cant fix them
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TMLBRIAN</b></div><div>if you retain 50%. you would have 2.5m in dead cap this year.

Josh Bailey is a decent player. He just is not worth 5m a year. And looking at New York they need an upgrade on forward. So the reason why he is shipped off, is to use his 5m cap + anything they have left over on one more star forward.

Bailey would be quite desirable league wide at 2.5m cap hit. it just doesn't make sense for New York to do that.</div></div>

what star forward are they getting? they don't have the assets to give up for a keller or anyone in winnipeg or even debrincat. virtually any team could beat any offer they make for a player. as much as i wish they'd blown it up this year, this is going to be a run it back year. i'd rather keep the pick and try to get another guy into the prospect pool.
