Garrison is indeed a Canuck.

WOOOOOOOOOOOO.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DON'T BE OVERPRICED.

 

[Merguson]

6 years, $4.6 aav for Garrison in Van.

So.. will he be the next Keith Ballard? TIME WILL TELL.

 

[DopeyFish]

6 years 4.6 per

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

As if every free agent this offseason isn't overpriced as hell.

Wow. Dan Ellis to the Jets huh. MASSIVE UPGRADE OVER MASo-ahahaha. Dan Ellis is still playing hockey.

Dan Ellis.

 

[TemplaerDude]

Stoked.

As if every free agent this offseason isn't overpriced as hell.

Definitely a good year to be a middling player or a young UFA. There's nothing out there and GMs are paying a premium for it.

 

[bardia]

Happy with the signing

 

[Razorskin]

Time for Tabris to proclaim Canucks as 2013 Cup Champions.


Unless he already did that?

 

[SpectreFire]

6 years 4.6 per

Oh thank god. That's a reasonable cap hit all things considered.

 

[Revenant]

near 5 million for garrison?

bleh.

 

[ZeroGravity]

Wonder what Carle is going to get now.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

The annual Panthers-Canucks trade/ signing is done. 6 years though is a long time if he doesn't recreate those numbers.

 

[KingHenrik30]

6 years seems like a lot of a guy with 1 good year under his belt.

 

[sefskillz]

ahahaha

 

[Marvie_3]

6 years? :lol

 

[dem]

Heres to hoping Garrison is the new Jeff Finger

 

[DopeyFish]

Have to assume any luongo trade likely has ahl prospects coming back now

Potentially a forward

Unless they want to rid themselves of Ballard (I would)

 

[Revenant]

Sounds like Ballard has another cap anchor for a partner!

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

All these D signings are making the Wideman signing look even more dumber by the day.

what a shit show

 

[Cake Boss]

LOLOLOL 6 YEARS.

You're not getting off this easily. We have this lovely goaltender you may be interested in.

They aren't getting premier prospects from FLA. Tallon already nixed that.

 

[bonesmccoy]

I think he'll fit into Vancouver's system nicely.... but then I notice he's put up fewer numbers than Ballard has in previous years...

Not so happy with my 'godly' prediction any more.

 

[Marvie_3]

Time to relocate the Preds?

fuck off with that shit marvie

[Lone_Prodigy]

Nice, we got Garrison.

The length is a little worrisome but $4.6M is really reasonable. Wouldn't want him to be the highest-paid defenceman (Bieksa makes $4.6M, Hamhuis $4.5M).

His shot will replace Salo's.

 

[RC]

6 years? Please tell me something good about this kid.

Anything really.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Never heard of him.


How much VAN cap space is tied up in ex-FLA players? I'm counting about 15 milli (Lou Booth Garry) who else am I missing?

 

[Cake Boss]

He can shout puck

 

[Revenant]

He can shout puck

Is he dragon born?

The next Ballard

[Fei]

Sounds a lot like what I read last year. I figured Regier knows what he was doing. What could go wrong?

Garrison's contract is almost exactly the terms of Leino's. Ugh. Hope he works for you guys.

 

[Marvie_3]

fuck off with that shit marvie

 

[DopeyFish]

They aren't getting premier prospects from FLA. Tallon already nixed that.

Or... Toronto

After kadri... Leafs have colborne, blacker, holzer, damigo, mckegg

Almost all of them likely have a future in the NHL

First 3 likely... Last 2 not sure but damigo more likely than mckegg

As I said before... Canucks should ask for blacker and damigo and a pick

Blacker is going to be pretty damn good and D amigo is a kind of player that Canucks currently lack...

 

[Curufinwe]

Wonder what Carle is going to get now.

Hopefully he'll be driven up to $6m per year and out of the Flyer's price range.

[sefskillz]

hey crazed, i got an extra tootoo whistle if you're interested

 

[Cake Boss]

His biggest attribute is his shot, but the funny thing is that he only had 3 goals of his 16 after December when teams began scouting him.

Enjoy

 

[CrazedArabMan]

Why must you torment me with that?

 

[Fei]

Holy shit Tootoo got 1.9M per? For 3 years??? LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

^^

Our PP did break the Devils because of him though. Weiss would win the face-off, Campbell would set him up and we'd score on the rebound.

 

[CrazedArabMan]

Compared to some of these other deals, it is more on the reasonable side.

 

[Smiley90]

Happy with Garrison, we NEEDED another D-man, he'll replace Salo for sure.

Bieksa-Hamhuis
Garrison-Edler
Tanev-Alberts

(Ballard/Connaton)? Meh, gotta live with it.

made me feel better about the gaustad signing, so thanks

Apparently his breakout year was the year before in 2010-2011 where he was one of the best shutdown dman in the league.

The scoring breakout was the icing on the cake.

Why the hell would you pair Tanev with Alberts?

Why would you put Alberts in the top six?!!

 

[Wingfan19]

Do the Ducks wanna take on a few career 4th liners and some picks for Bobby Ryan? Please say yes.

 

[Fei]

Compared to some of these other deals, it is more on the reasonable side.

Tootoo is a dirty POS who doesn't contribute anything besides being a goon. He also comes with personal problems. I'd rather have Prust at 2.5 than Tootoo at 1.9.

 

[Seguin]

Wow, great job by Garrison's agent to get him that kind of cash + term for a one year wonder.
