Canucks Trade Conor Garland to Blue Jackets
- Don Waddell completed an overnight trade to acquire forward Conor Garland from the Vancouver Canucks for a 2026 third-round pick and a 2028 second-round pick ahead of Friday's trade deadline.
- Vancouver Canucks, in the midst of a rebuild, have been piling up draft picks while sitting at the bottom of the NHL standings and moving veterans like Tyler Myers on Wednesday.
- Garland, 29, has recorded seven goals and 19 assists in 50 games this season and signed a contract extension last summer that kicks in July 1 with a $6 million cap hit.
- The Blue Jackets added Garland to boost their lineup as they sit one point behind Boston for the final Eastern Conference playoff spot, with Waddell saying 'Conor is a versatile player who brings great energy to the lineup every night and we couldn't be more excited to welcome he and his family to Columbus.'
- The late-night deal raises the prospect of a wider Canucks sell-off before Friday at noon Pacific Time, with six teams reportedly interested and pending free agents Evander Kane, Teddy Blueger, and David Kümpf likely to be shopped.
