“Ya, so it looks like, lot of interest. Two guys – Garland and Motte – heading into the weekend. Information we get , morning, obviously can change.
But a lot of interest in Garland. Being told that the LA Kings are picking it up, serious interest.
We’ve also been told the Canucks looking for a right shot, young D. But I’ve also been informed that maybe, possibly, Turcotte. A high pick, a forward, could be a player that the Canucks could want from LA. But the Kings have been after, the Kings have been calling Canucks, Donnie, for about two-three weeks now.
There was rumblings (Donnie interrupts – “about Garland?”). Well no, just, there was Boeser talks, Miller, maybe they’re down to Garland. But Garland is simple. Teams like the cost certainty, They like the contract. They like the player. They know the Canucks have cap issues.
The only reason you’re trading Garland, Donnie and you know it, is cause this regime was handcuffed by the previous regime. They got no money on the cap. They got to get some cap relief and maybe, maybe Garland is a guy to get them cap relief.
Tyler Motte, if you’re getting a second-round pick for that, you got to do that.
