I find it hilarious that the people labelled impatient are the ones that wanted to take a more patient approach.

you think this market will tolerate a decade long rebuild?

meanwhile, 7 years later... "I think in two years time, I think we're gonna be real competitive."

Dach, Debrincat and 1st

I love Seth Jones but that's a lot going the other way. I wonder if anything came back with Jones?

Wow, if that's the deal Chi overpaid. I like our deal better.

Why does Garland warrant that much?
- Reubenkincade

Just a value guess. Your idea? Thx

Overreaction, it's only been rebuild since the sedins left.

Heard boqvist and a 1st

Jones has agreed on a 7 year extension as well.

I got fake accounted hahaha!

Garland is a 1st liner. His correct pts per 82 games last year is around 60. At worst he is a great 2nd liner. Kid will be amazing beside Bo.

Disagree, about Garland being a 1st liner, a low end 2nd/high-end 3rd liner.

If true how does our trade look now?

And plays D which wins in the PO’s & doesn’t stop a PO push.

This is the second summer in a row that Jim has addressed the need on defence.

Let's hope it is much less of a disaster as last season.

If Schmidt stays it moves him down the depth. A good thing or he plays RSD.

nah, bit on one of the loser accounts.

Not you too SMP...

Despite what people think on how I evaluate this trade.

OEL has wanted out for a while, and the sedins are insanely close with him on a personal level, so hopefully a motivated OEL does help things.
Garland is a fantastic player, reminds me of marchand-lite.

I still 100% would have rather been patient, kept the picks, and waited a year to see LE, virtanen, Beagle and roussel gone, and holtby and Schmidt traded, but here we are.
- Codes1087

Waiting a year was one option & a good one but a painful year probably.

- Reubenkincade

Yeah but you're a short dude with something against short dudes... so adjusting for bias, he's a high end 2nd liner/low end 1st.

More on point 👍

He's performed as a top line winger by the analytics, but doesn't have a big track record as he is a late bloomer.

I wasn't trying to knock Garland by saying that, I just don't think he is in that pay range.
One thing I say about Garland is any time I watched a Coyotes game, he was the only noticeable forward.
I am also an OEL fan and think he will be a nice addition.
Although, as I said earlier, I don't like seeing so many picks traded, over the years, this trade reminds me of all the whining and the laughing at Bergevin, when he traded super-duper star PK Subban for Shea Weber.

Garland WC’s 10 games 6g 7🍎
